Did TNA overpushed AJ Styles?

No. Here's why.

1. Those 19 belts aren't all World Titles. I'd wager without looking that a majority were probably tag titles as shocking as it sounds. He tagged with Lynn, Daniels on a few occasions, Tomko, and I can't think if there's someone else but I'm positive there is.

2. He was with the company for nearly a decade, and only times he wasn't at the top of the card was when he was down in the X, Tag, and other secondary divisions trying to loan some legitimacy to the undercard titles while new WWE imports or WCW legends elevated the World belt (or, you know, Jeff Jarrett). To put that into perspective, consider how many belts Sting held in WCW in the company's 10 years of relevance, or Shawn Michaels from 95 to 05. Not all of those belts are world titles either.

3. He was their banked on future face of wrestling. AJ came out of the gate in TNA as the face of the alternative style of wrestling. They talked up his method in-ring, they highlighted him constantly, and they made him the X-Division, which at the time was the major drawing point for TNA.

AJ became a hot commodity quick. WWE wanted him from day one. Would he be getting the attention then that he is getting now in the WWE? Doubtful considering he was moonlighting as a jobber on Velocity/Jakked/Metal/pick a crummy name for WWE's Saturday show. When AJ left, Japan came a'knockin' and AJ proved his worth.

TNA was under this disillusion that guys like Roode and Joe and Storm and Styles and EY would be loyal without being paid as the draws they were. Loyal fans loved them and wanted to see them do great, and WWE had been knocking at most of their doors already. The sad thing is that AJ did buy into that loyalty before they let him walk. I'm sure Roode did too before the first time Prichard let his contract run out on accident.

No. AJ accomplished everything with TNA. He was the franchise player for 12 years. Held every championship. TNA Heavyweight, X Division, Tag Team, Legends ( including every name they gave that belt)

Wrestled all the great wrestlers. Main evented Bound For Glory a few times.

He went on to have fun in Ring of Honor and New Japan. Now he has had a normal match at WrestleMania and is WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

There is not another wrestler to have held the IWGP Championship, NWA Championship, TNA Championship and WWE Championship.

Most people think he was underpushed in tna, he was considered to be the top guy much like cena was in wwe yet he only won the tna championship 3 times compared to Cena's 15 title reign he really wasn't pushed as much for being hyped up as being Mr. TNA.

People claim TNA had a lot of former WWE guys overshadow him too. People never really grew tired of aj styles like they did wwe stars like cena and orton, so I really don't think aj was overpushed.

@Kathy, you're wrong. He wanted more money and TNA didn't gave it to him, reason he didn't signed and went Indy.

@Candle, most of his belts were singles, actually. 13 of the 19 are singles. 5 WHCs, 6 X Divisions, and 2 Legends/Global/TV. That would leave the other 6 as Tag belts. PS, he won the belt with Kurt as well.

NWA World Tag four times with Jerry Lynn (1), Abyss (1), and Christopher Daniels (2)

TNA World Tag twice with Tomko (1) and Kurt Angle (1)

Roode and EY stayed then ended up leaving because TNA couldn't pay them on time or something like that. Storm had a chance with WWE and blew it up.

No... every chance they had TNA put him as an underling to the latest WWE alumni... going so far as to actually make him a glorified pawn in a fued between Angle and Christian

That's right, the 'future of the business', TNA original and by then 2x NWA champion was relegated to sidekick/henchman to two WWE alumni each with less than a year on the TNA roster

AJ was hot stuff when TNA brought him in from NWA Wildside and had already had airtime in WCW and WWF/E. TNA knew how to book him from the start and, quite frankly, it was one of the few moves TNA did right from a creative standpoint and booking sense because he was up against one of their top heels in Jeff Jarrett. Also, he was super over in 2004 and 2005. People, at that time, would compare his legacy to most superstars back in the ol' days

Yes
