AJ Styles Final TNA Wrestling Match - DEADLOCK Podcast Retro Review
Ойын-сауық
AJ Styles was the backbone of TNA Wrestling. Without him in the early days, Total Nonstop Action may not have been as popular as it was. AJ Styles was the one constant in the company, and you knew if he was on the card you would get a phenomenal match! When his contract expired at the end of 2013, it was time to renegotiate. All he wanted to stay in the company was the same amount of money he was getting paid. TNA Management couldn't afford that AJ Styles left the company. However, AJ Styles, working on a handshake deal, would work until the January 9th, 2014 episode of Impact Wrestling. At this time, AJ Styles was TNA World Champion, however, Magnus was also TNA World Champion by winning a tournament. On this episode, the 2 champions go head to head to crown one Undisputed TNA World Champion. AJ Styles and Dixie Carter agreed that that match would be a NO Disqualification Match. AJ knew that Dixie and her group “Dixieland” would try to cost AJ the belt and get him out of the company. Dixie Carter also knew that AJ had friends in the company, so she set up a bunch of backstage attacks and different matches to get rid of all of AJ’S friends before the main event. This would be AJ Styles final match in TNA Wrestling! Plus, there are 2 steel cage matches, The Bromans vs Eric Young & Joseph Park and more!

"As long as I have a company, you have a job." "You can't make that promise to AJ Styles!"
Funny how AJ leaves TNA and then immeditaly wins the IWGP Heavyweight title and becomes leader of the bullet club within the span of a couple months
Tracing AEW back to AJ leaving TNA is crazy. Sounds like you can really trace it back to HULK HOGAN BROTHER.

I've not watched the product in years but the moment I first saw Bobby Roode's entrance in WWE, I was like "The fact they didn't strap rockets to this sumbitch is insane. This is gravitas I've not felt in a long time." That fucking song is impeccable.

Nxt Roode might the closest we get to Bobby Roode being close to a star in WWE. Which granted the reasons he hasn't been a star yet is A. The dude whom we should probably not name due to recent events that was running creative before HHH took over wasn't a fan of wrestlers who were made stars somewhere else besides WWE outside of a few exceptions And B. Roode is out with an injury and isn't even known if he's gonna wrestle again although last I checked the recovery for his injury is done by like this time next year Had HHH took control of WWE creative before Roode got called up I truely feel like Roode would've been a star
"Jay Bradley came back as Sheamus" is the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. My head fuckin hurts from HOWLING in laughter This podcast is beautiful

It really has been the best wrestling thing period for the last 3 years. Easily.
1:19:46 one of the best moments in Deadlock history
It’s crazy to think 10 years later that AJ became a massive star in WWE and Magnus is a WWE GM

The timing was impeccable.
AJ leaving TNA was basically what killed them being the number 2. They are still struggling to come back now, although they are slowly getting their momentum back now that they’ve come back as TNA.

@@aznick-san7954 It came out that a part of the reason why Scott was fired was that he asked for a bigger budget to work with to produce higher quality content ± Anthem wanted a more hands-on control of the product. Doesn't really sound like a good reason for firing him is out there imo.
Imagine traveling back to 05-06 and telling a TNA fan that in less than a decade, AJ would be leaving because of a paycut, and the main character of Impact would be Dixie fucking Carter.
The Hogan-TNA era sounds like it was absolutely miserable for James and Jawny (not sure about Tony's relation to TNA), as OG TNA-ites, to watch and have to rewatch but as a listener of the podcast I keep wanting them to go back to the era as much as possible. It has pretty much everything from Hogan Impressions to mind numbingly bad matches, storylines and booking decisions to bamboozle the trio with. I love the deadlock boys and episodes of genuinely good TV are entertaining enough on their own but there's just a special *je ne sais quoi* when they review episodes of the worst shit ever and you can practically hear their brains sizzling in real time.
And now Aj and Magnus are on SMACKDOWN, DIXIE CARTER helped changed the business again
Is crazy this got posted around the same time as Scott D'Amore got fired from TNA and is spelling doom for them again...

I was out of TNA at this point, but came back just to watch AJ’s last match…and was severely disappointed.
i was just watching this episode of impact wrestling on TNA+ Aj's last TNA match was crazy especially with the interferences it gave me jeff jarrett flashbacks the fact that this was 10-years ago still boggles my mind.
AJ leaving is without exaggeration one of the most important things that ever happened in wrestling due to how much it lead to. If he never went to NJPW he never would have joined Bullet Club, Kenny wouldn't have turned on him and became leader himself, Okada vs Omega might not have happened, AEW doesn't happen, and Val Venis might have ended up back in Impact... GET OUT OF OUR COMPANY!

RIP Toby, listen to Kris Kristofferson today
Soon as he said Anderson Silva, that bone breaking popped in my head and I physically cringed. Gdamn that was nasty…. like a couple bois I know. SKEWOAHHHHH
“There was so much poo there was no actual match” is an underrated line from the show, good ole TNA!
RIP Toby Keith
TNA/Impact having a dude break his neck wrestling for them, lying to him, and running it back after also asking him to lie for their sake is crazy TNA/Impact still being around in debatably similar standing after all this time is even crazier. Only in wrestling, brudda.
AJ during this time came and did an indie show in Omaha Nebraska. Standing room only. Fought Jason strife (rip) great match.
Joseph Parks should've been a Wrestlecrap induction but for some reason it worked above and beyond. Did it go too long? yes but was it entertaining? also yes. You could also say the same thing about EC3 in TNA. He stood out in a time where TNA was on the verge of complete collapse (2015 to 2017). But when WWE got the EC3 character, it went nowhere fast. Let's see how he does in NWA.
At this point, every retro review has someone who is, actually, LA Knight, YEAH!

AJ leaving TNA changed wrestling forever but also it leads to one of the greatest runs of all time in NJPW personally it’s how i found NJPW it’s how i found out about bullet club AJ is the goat for that
I’m so glad there are others who enjoyed Bro-Man’s as much as I did

"Hey Magnus, how's your lips?!" 😂😂😂
You know, the 'everyone stomping out Gunner' bit is so underrated but I just wish that's what happened because fuck Gunner. At least Steve Maclin is doing genuinely well for himself despite being associated with Gunner in the fed.
Congrats on 100k!!!!
ALRIIIIIIIIGHT.
I was thinking before Damore got fired that maybe TNA could've reached out to AJ Styles for one last run or appearance to have a proper ending. I'm going to be pissed about Anthem firing Scott Damore for the near future.
I gotta say, seeing the TNA logo back these days without AJ on the roster just feels wrong.
This is maybe a couple weeks before I started watching IMPACT. It was an interesting time.
OHHH LETS GOOO DEADLOCK
Deadlock got me in a headlock
I saw that Anderson Silva fight live. End of an era.
3:41 Damn, that's crazy
1:35:45 Pulse saying ‘Baby Hebner’ reminds me of ‘Baby Reigns’ from the SAFW days, which Jawnny was a special guest commentator on for 2 episodes.
Omg Jarrett gold I forgot that was a thing 😂
rip toby keith
Boys are correct…Janice and Abyss’ other weapon Bob are named after Dixie’s parents…for reasons?
I have the global force wrestling DVDS
This was when I stopped watching, the way the match ended was so disrespectful on so manu levels, just infuriated me as a fan
28:55 lmao
AJ leaving TNA? that doesnt work for me dude.
The whole AJ Styles leaving and coming back was clearly Russo. He wanted this to happen with Hogan and Booker T. 😑
Aj vs gulak is at anniversary not cage of death
Wild how much wrestling changes. Not just the episode they are reviewing, but whats happening IRL at the time. CM Punk got made fun of online relentlessly for stupid shit for a while, LA Knight got stupid over and Bray passed away in that same month.
AJ should have kept his hair this length cause the soccer mom haircut is not working anymore
*Has a job for life* *Gets fired* *Asks if they can say we didn't fuck him out of a job* *VINTAGE TNA*
