He isn't going anywhere unless TNA grants him his release since he signed a 4 year deal in 2011.

These lists are written by smarky interns with no other purpose than to fill up WWE.com's front page. Tiger Mask and Kevin Sullivan are on the list too, yet I doubt they're getting signed.

Contrary to what fans believe, not every wrestler is enamored by the WWE. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles are two of those wrestlers.

AJ was offered a developmental contract back in the day

It wasn't enough money to support his family so he declined.

I knew AJ personally when this all went down the money wasnt the real reason that he turned it down it was that his wifes practice was in Atlanta and the WWE wanted him to move to Ohio full time and he did not want to be away from his family for that long of a time if they would of let him come to OVW for the shows while staying in Atlanta he would of signed the contract after that he seemed to lose all intrest in going to the WWE why I can not say but I have the opinion that he felt insulted that they hinted that he was not a good wrestler and need much more seasoning. I also remember asking him later after a Wildside show if he ever saw himself trying the WWE again and he just kind of shrugged his shoulders.

well, or that his wife was still in college and he didn't want to force her to relocate. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/200 ... 99561.html

Styles surprised many when he turned down a WWE developmental contract that he was offered.

"I am not by any means cocky, I am honored that they offered me a contract," he said. "Financially I couldn't afford to go up there. My wife was in college and I was the sole provider. It wasn't feasible for me to move to Cincinnati for a developmental deal when I was making nothing. God and family are more important to me. I couldn't do it to my wife."

He was rolling his eyes are the part about you saying "I knew AJ personally"...

[tated250]

If you believe it or not thats fine but you kind of knew everyone that wrestled for Wildside personally if you went to Wildside and if you were ever in that building you will understand, numerous times fans and wrestlers went out to eat stayed in contact emailed and all the rest I remember getting the email that he and Paris were going to WCW at the time. Never really understood why Jimmy Rave never hit it big I never really followed his ROH run and have seen some things posted that would make me think that it did not go well but I always felt he was the most sound of all those guys that came out of Wildside I can remember a I quit match he was in there that was just amazing. I mean really amazing wish I actually had it on and for my personal collection.
