I don't know for sure but I am guessing about 3 times. The WWE has been after him for a while, and for good reason. AJ Styles is probably the best wrestler in pro wrestling under the age of 30 right now and has the respect of more Legends than alot of other wresters (Bret Hart says he is the best young wrestler out there right now). Although I would really enjoy seeing him in the WWE because they could really use a talented wrestler like him, I respect him for having enough insight to know that in the WWE he would never get the kind of push he deserves and he would have to job to bigger, bulkier, and less talented wrestlers (like Roidtista) so they can get the Titles, and he has proved that you don't have to be over six foot to be successfull in pro wrestling. What do you think?

Yeah, at least 3 sounds right.
I had heard 4.
It's just as well, wwe doesnt know what to do with anyone with talent or anyone that isnt a giant steroid freak.
he would just end up like they did with Jericho, and Benoit, and those guys. I think thats why wwe keeps getting turned down. Styles is only one of at least 4 or 5 wrestlers that wwe has tried to sign.
Plus AJ doesnt have much mic skills and wwe is so storyline driven they wouldnt know what to do with him
Thats the best thing with tna is not having the giant slow wrestlers. Most of the wwe main eventers just are boring to watch. And even in tna some of their bigger guys can wrestle. Lance Hoyt is amazingly fast and agile for a big guy.
It's gotten where tna is the only wrestling i look forward to each week.

Honestly, all that matters is that AJ DID turn down WWE, which was a GREAT thing. And it's not necessarily that he's proving that you don't have to be a big man in the business to win titles, That's what TNA is doing, and I LOVE that. I love the fact that they don't have the biggest wrestlers dominate the company, which means that they put a bigger emphasis on WRESTLING and not just how marketable a star is or how big (size wise) and star is, like WWE does. This shows how smart AJ was. Even though I think he didn't decide to join WWE because of the schedule, it ended up being a GREAT decision for him.
The thing is though, WWE has many talents, in my opinion, of near, equal, or greater talent and ability compared to AJ Styles. Talents that includes names like Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, and Johnny Nitro. The unfortunate thing about WWE is that wrestling isn't their whole goal (and that they limit what wrestlers do). Sports Entertainment is their goal. Not to wrestle, but to entertain with wrestling and other non wreslting events like promos and skits. I honestly wish that WWE would become more about simply wrestling, where the better wrestlers would be the better stars, where you didn't have to be great on the mic, where you didn't have to be 6'3 and 250 pounds or more. If WWE was more about wrestling Batista and Cena would DEFINITELY not be champions.
All in all though, I'm glad AJ is in a company where he can thrive and use all of his talent for the best, and not in a company where he would have to be 3 times bigger or a great on the mic just to get some fame.

What do I think ?. I think AJ is a great wrestler and should be champion in TNA. But with that said, AJ would never get over in the WWE because he has no mic skills, no charisma, and no character to draw any interest from WWE fans, and this means that he won't be able to draw big money therefore he'll most likely be a mid-carder that will job to more charismatic and bigger wrestlers because thats what makes money in the WWE . AJ eventually may end up in the WWE towards the end of his career because he'll no place else to wrestle and make descent money. Eventually TNA will go out of buisness, I think TNA has already gotten as big as they'll ever get and eventually the people promting TNA will realize it isn't good enough and pull the plug. TNA is a great promotion if your a wrestling fan, but in the world of mass entertainment and buisness good old fashion "Wrestling" alone will never make big money or draw major ratings. 4 or 5 more years and my guess is you'll probably see AJ, Somoa Joe, Abyss, Sabin, and others in the WWE mid-carding. Kurt Angle will of course be back kissing Mcmahons butt and doing MAJOR jobs for leaving the company the way he did .

I agree, and that match he just had with Kurt Angle was a great match (even with Samoa Joe interfering). AJ styles is a great wrestler and will be up there one day with the likes of Angle and Bret Hart and other great wrestlers.

He will go to WWE when TNA goes out of business. TNA will keep on kissing up to the former WWE stars and forget about the others who have been in the company since day 1. That will be their downfall.
