AJ Styles Pre-WWE Greatest Matches



I'm sure most people are like me and are just thrilled to watch Styles every week on WWE programming.  Here I want to rank all the top matches AJ had prior to WWE.  I planned on putting every single one I could find on here, but he had so many 6, 8, or 10 man tags in NJPW that were essentially repeats, that I decided it would be redundant to do so.  So what's here is what I'll call the "important stuff."  Enjoy.
