That then leaves the world title to the more experienced, more well known wrestlers who have similar styles of wrestling, like Raven, Jarret, X pac, Jeff Hardy , Abyss, Samoa Joe (eventually), and so forth.
See..that makes no sense whatsoever. Of the six guys you listed as Heavyweight possibilities, AJ has put on great matches with four of them in the past, hihc makes wrestling style a moot point. And the other two - X-Pac and Hardy - are actually better X Division wrestlers as well.

Also AJ is a spotfest but Hardy isn't?

Also, how are Samoa Joe and Abyss 'more well known' than AJ Styles? TNA has no crossover appeal whatsoever, so the only people watching are wrestling fans and Internet smarts. Among that group, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 90% of them know who AJ Styles is.

I know this is just your opinion, but the logic is hugely flawed and basically shows exactly why it was dumb to take the belt off of Styles at this PPV.

**EDIT** Actually, having thought about it a little, there are some sensible reasons to but the strap on Raven. They just aren't any of the ones you listed.
