High flyers like Jeff Hardy who tone down their style because of their age?

Jeff Hardy recently said he would tone down his wrestling style because he is almost 30 and he needs to take better care of himself. AJ Styles did the same thing. If you look at him wrestle 4 years ago compared to today, you can see how he is more grounded today. I know he can still fly but that style does alot of damage to the body. AJ is still a great in ring performer and he can still be a high flyer, he just stays on the ground more than he used to. What do you think of AJ after he changed his style? How do you think Hardy's change will affect his career?

    AJ is a great mat wrestler so we won't have to worry that he will become "boring" in the ring. AJ is a solid wrestler who also happens to be a phenomenal high-flyer. Toning down the daredevil stuff will just make those moves more exciting when he does do them.

    Jeff will have a harder row to hoe, because he's rather limited in his mat wrestling skills. Jeff has always been the daredevil who brings the crowd to their feet with some crazy stunt. THAT'S what the crowd remembers, not how many near-falls he got or how many versions of an arm-bar he can do. He'll have to re-focus the fans' attention to his wrestling skills. Jeff is an exciting performer; I have no doubt that he can win the fans over with more mat wrestling.

    Rey Mysterio has made the successful transition from always being in the air to doing a lot of mat wrestling. AJ and Jeff will, too.

    Agreed.AJ said in his blog a while back that he had to change his wrestling style to make it easier on himself.Back then TNA stepped up the tour schedule in an effort to become more popular.AJ had to tone things down to work the schedule and still put on an exciting show.

    It was a good move i think as AJ now has the Japanese style of using technical mat-based work with his Lucha Libre style.It's the same style that allows Jushin Liger and Great Muta to keep wrestling in their 40's.It works for AJ who has win the TNA singles, tags and X Division since changing styles back in 2004.He still uses his Shooting Styles and Spiral Tap but has got more technical as well.

    I can see Jeff Hardy becoming just as successful.His changed style of technical wrestling and high spots were the basis for his push before he got suspended.Vince realized his new style was a ratings winner and had him earmarked as a future WWE champion.He looks to be on a roll already and being drafted to Smackdown was smart.With Jeff's entertaining style i think he could get the WWE title within a few months, perhaps Survivor Series.

  • I always like the wrestle because of their skills not their inovated style. Aj styles still does some of his high flying but he still is good without the other stuff. Jeff hardy I'm not so sure of but will have to wait and see until time tells but I do jeff hardy will have a successful future as long as he dosn't screw it up like last time. I think aj styles and jeff hardy(same with matt) will have successful future in my opinion.

    Jeff! plenty extra relaxing, the guy has no concern, i'd rather decide for to be waiting to run up and bounce onto the suitable rope or maybe attempt whisper in the wind! Swanton bomb is loopy! watched it in sluggish mo- he flips top on the final 2nd! AND do you notice Rey Rey hiking the scaffolding, no longer to show throwing himself off the suitable?! i like Rey Rey tho, he's so rapid and definatly proficient yet all of the working n flipping approximately in basic terms gets perplexing, u in basic terms decide for the lil ferret to stand nevertheless for a min. looking at Jeff you opt for him to win, actual everyone chants and you comprehend you all decide for to at living house too, yet its viewer friendly, no longer as "choreographed" (particular i comprehend that's) its slower, nicer to computer screen, much extra marvelous! Rey in basic terms kinda spins approximately everywhere then somebody wins :oS
