Talk:AJ Styles

Stone Cold

On september 9, 2019 Aj styles receive a stone cold stunner from stone cold steve Austin. This is a rare appearance but stone cold and considering it came from Madison square garden one of wwe biggest venues. I feel this should be added to the wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.124.128 (talk) 00:14, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

WrestleMania 36

He did not headline WrestleMania 36. Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre did. Please remove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.72.173 (talk) 15:34, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

They main evented night one and "headlined" doesn't always mean main evented. See Ric Flair's lede in reference to WrestleMania VIII.LM2000 (talk) 15:38, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Main event it's not always the final match. I think some user discusses a few days ago. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:39, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Yeah but Styles/Undertaker was the final match. This year's Mania was unprecedented: it was represented by two individually-sold PPVs with their own pre-shows, rendering it a markedly different beast from the single-broadcast Manias of yesteryear. Mania 36 was akin to television coverage of a two-day music festival, one overall event with a separate headlining act for each individually-ticketed day.

Wrestling Observer/F4W, pretty much the pre-eminent industry commentator, asserts that Styles vs. Undertaker both "headlined" and "main evented" the April 4 broadcast.[1] Telekinetics (talk) 00:03, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Nobody disagrees that AJ headlined the April 4 broadcast, but he did not have the final match of WrestleMania 36, because it ended on April 5 with Drew vs Brock.WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 00:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

WM36 functioned as two individual, clearly-delineated PPVs. Trying to very awkwardly file it alongside single-PPV Manias is fallacious and inappropriate. Telekinetics (talk) 01:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes but everyone knows Flair didn't actually main event WM8. In any event there's no reason to write "headlined". It absolutely gives an implication that he main evented the show which he didn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.72.173 (talk) 17:49, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Nights 1 and 2 were available as standalone pay-per-views.[2] Any way you slice it, Styles closed out a PPV titled "WrestleMania". Absolutely a Mania headliner. Telekinetics (talk) 20:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Agree to disagree regardless if they were available as separate. WrestleMania was ONE show split into 2 "Parts". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.72.173 (talk) 21:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Except that Mania 36 was evidently TWO individual productions with individual box office receipts (and individual pre-shows), a la Kill Bill or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This wasn't some single broadcast interrupted halfway through by a breaking news story. AJ Styles absolutely headlined a WrestleMania pay-per-view. Telekinetics (talk) 13:36, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

I am not denying the last sentence. But he did not headline WM36, only WM36 Day 1. If he indeed headline WM36, then next year's Mania has to be called WM38. Otherwise this was ONE Mania with ONE final match (Drew Brock).WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I really do not understand some of these editors who don't understand the fundamentals and logistics of things. WrestleMania 36 may have been sold as two separate PAY PER VIEWS with two "box office receipts", but WrestleMania 36 itself was was NOT two separate "shows" or "events". It was ONE show and ONE event called "WrestleMania 36" which was split into two PARTS. WWE themselves even list it this way on the WWE Network. "Part 1" and "Part 2". While AJ may have been the last match or "headlined" Part 1, he did not "headline" the event of WrestleMania 36. Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre did. Until a day when WWE indicates this, I have removed the reference to him "headlining" WWE's premier event, WrestleMania.

Stop insulting users who disagree with you (WP:CIVIL). Telekinetics (talk) 02:12, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Well said.WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 14:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Dave Scherer of PWInsider (WP:PW/RS#Reliable sources), says that Styles is indeed a "WrestleMania headliner".[3] I have restored the lede to its previous form: if one wishes to remove the mention of Styles headlining WrestleMania, please provide a WP:PW/RS source that asserts he has not headlined. We're past bickering here, especially now that a preferred source has chimed in. Telekinetics (talk) 01:11, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

More WP:PW/RS sources ([4][5]) and mainstream sports ones ([6][7][8]) designating the night one closer as a WrestleMania-headlining match. Cloudbearer (talk) 16:33, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

A.J. Styles → AJ Styles – To be honest I don't think this really matters but it seems like a majority of sources spell it as "AJ" and not "A.J." ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 01:52, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
