So success is relative. I just mean I think Styles will be a regular character, but will be closer to a Neville than a Roman Reigns. I'm a big believer in guys who can bring a crowd up during a match. I haven't seen Styles do that yet, and it's not like he's been stuck in a program with Erik Rowan or something. He's had a great person to work with to give him a rub. He hasn't moved the needle IMO.

All I see from him are running forearms, and I laugh when he tries to apply the styles clash. To me he's a classic big fish in a small pond type guy. He won't be able to run with the sharks. He'll look good through Mania in part because of the makeup of the crowds. But over time, I think people in key positions will see his ceiling is low.
There's not a man alive that could run with sharks, so it's not really fair to single out AJ Styles.
