TNA: AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Daniels Should Bring the TV Title to Greatness
Posted: Nov 10th 2011 By: mikeiles
When you look at the history of TNA Wrestling, there are a few feuds that stand out in the company.
You have America's Most Wanted vs. Triple X, A. J. Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett, Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle and Sting and Angle. However, one feud gets more respect in the history of the company than any other.
That feud is Styles vs. Joe vs. Christopher Daniels.
This feud?which took TNA's vaunted X Division to a new level?started in TNA in January 2005, when Styles began feuding with Daniels over the belt and continued?with the addition of Joe?throughout the year and peaked in September with a three-way match at the Unbreakable pay-per-view that is considered one of the best in TNA history.
The feud between the three continued for a few more months before all three went their separate ways (Styles and Daniels would team up and become tag team champions, Joe a World champ). Since then, they've only been matched up once?at Turning Point 2009 for Styles' World Heavyweight Title.
It's time to bring the three back together to do for the TV Title what they did for the X-Division title.
All three are in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment. Styles and Daniels are still in a feud with no resolution, and Joe has struggled for a while with a string of losses.
When Styles, Joe and Daniels are in the ring, good things happen
The last feud began with Styles and Daniels. It makes sense to add Joe to this current feud and put the TV Title at the heart of this.
The TV title is something that even TNA executives such as Eric Bischoff admit they have dropped the ball on. The question is what to do now.
The X Division made its mark as the division where the young talent could shine, while the heavyweight title revolved around more established names like Jeff Jarrett, Sting and Kurt Angle.
One problem with that was that much of the talent?with the exception of guys like Styles and Joe?could never move up to another level.
There is only so many times that you can have former TNA star Jay Lethal, Kazarian or Daniels win the X Division title. The TV Title gives another for talent to rise to.
It makes sense for both Daniels and Joe to pursue the title along with Styles. Styles is one of only two Grand Slam champions in TNA history?Abyss being the other.
Joe is a TV title reign away from it, while Daniels is a TV and world title reign away.
A great storyline could be created by having both men strive for an honor that long-time rival Styles holds. It would also elevate the TV Title.
So, one more time, let's have Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels go at in the ring.
The winner will be the TV Title and the fans.
