AJ Styles is the reason many people watch TNA, and rightfully so. Any one of his matches has him and his opponents bringing out the best for their fans.

Matches:

AJ Styles vs. Low Ki vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Psichosis

First ever X Division title match

Double elimination match:

This is a great, fast paced match. Double elimination means all the wrestlers had to be pinned twice in order to be fully eliminated.

Jerry Lynn and Styles were eventually the last two in the match with AJ being pinned once and Lynn not even being pinned yet. In the end AJ Styles pins Lynn twice in a row and becomes the first ever X Division Champion. 10/10

Triple Ladder Match

AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Low Ki:

Nice ladder match, all three men took some punishment. Cool part when Low Ki falls off a ladder but puts his foot on the top rope, regains his balance, and slides the ladder back up into the standing posistion. AJ tries the same thing but falls outside to the ring. Some great ladder spots and Lynn wins the X Division title. 9/10

AJ Styles vs. Sean Waltman

No Disqualifications:

Okay match, not much in the use of weapons but nice wrestling moves. Back and forth action and Aj's manager manages to knock Sean Waltman in the head and that allowed AJ to hit the Styles Clash and get the pin. 8/10

Aj Styles vs. Abyss

Falls Cout Anywhere:

Good match, a lot of crowd interaction as both men fight all through the arena. Styles manages to climb a balcony and jumps right on top of Abyss. Then as both men get back into the ring another "fan" who turned out to be Johnn Fairplay, throws a drink all over styles.

A botched table spot in the match, but Aj uses the table part that wasn't broken and hits a huge splash off the top rope onto Abyss and the referee. The ending sucked as security and wrestlers hold back both men for some unknown reason. 8/10

AJ Styles vs. D'Lo Brown

Ladder Match:

I always wondered what happened to D'Lo after he left WWE in 2003, and I see now he was making great ladder matches in TNA. This is one of the best on the second disk.

Both men use ladders, chairs, and tables. D"Lo jumps at least 20 feet off a ladder in the ring onto a table with AJ on it in a great spot. Siaki then appears and knocks D'Lo off a ladder out of the ring on top of another table. Both Styles and Brown climb the ladder and both pull the belt off a the same time. The ref declares AJ is still the champ. 9.5/10 [Not enough time for perfect score]

AJ Styles vs. Raven vs. Jeff Jarret

NWA TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match:

This is where AJ won his first heavyweight championship. Good match with all three guys working together and against one another. Raven gets cut open after a chairshot by Styles, then Jarret gets a leg drop on his head.

Shane Douglas comes out of nowhere and attacks Raven. He sends Raven through a table in the back area and disappears. Jarret and Styles fight some more and Styles wins after Vince Russo hits Jarret in the head with a guitar. 9/10

AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarret

Steel Cage Match:

This match took place a long time later, when AJ won his second world heavyweight championship belt. Both men use some nice chain wrestling and use the cage against one another well throughout the match.

AJ almost falls in a scary moment after going to the top of the cage but Jarret hits the cage with impact, making Styles fall. Jarret grabs his guitar but Styles kicks it to peices right in midair. Styles wins his second title a few seconds later. 8.5/10

NWA World Tag Team Title Match - Aj Styles and D'Lo Brown vs. Low Ki and Primetime Elix Skipper

Great DVD, I am a big fan of AJ now after I saw this DVD.

I'm not going to go into some kind of WWE/TNA rant. I am a long time WWE fan. Been watching it all my life. Before their debut on Spike TV I've only seen a few TNA matches. If you want to see arguably the greatest in ring performer today then check out A.J. Styles. This DVD is filled with amazing matches. As a matter of fact there isn't one dud on the whole DVD.

Mark my word if he stays healthy A.J. Styles will become a superstar one day.

AJ Styles has been in TNA from the very beginning and has had some of the best matches in TNA history.

1. AJ Styles vs. Psicosis vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Low Ki

This was an elimination match to crown the first ever X division champion. It is a great match and very exciting. ****

2. AJ Styles vs. Low Ki vs. Jerry Lynn

A great three way match and probably one of the best TNA has had. ***1/2

3. AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Low Ki (Ladder Match)

Great ladder match with lots of cool spots. ***

4. AJ Styles vs. Syxx Pac

AJ and Syxx Pac really mesh well together. It was one of the better matches Syxx Pac has had in years. ***

5. AJ Styles vs. The Amazing Red

Red used to be great before he got injured. This is a pretty good match. **1/2

6. AJ Styles and D'Lo Brown vs. Triple X

If this match was given more time it could have been great. Its still a good match but could have been better. ***

7. Jeff Jarrett vs. AJ Styles vs. Raven

This is the match where AJ became the NWA World Champion and the wrestler in the company to have won all 3 belts. Good match. ***1/2

8. AJ Styles vs. D'Lo Brown (Ladder Match)

This is for the NWA World Heavyweight championship and is a very good match. There is a great spot in this match where D'Lo does the frog splash off the ladder to AJ on the outside on a table. ***

9. AJ Styles vs. Low Ki (NWA World Title Match)

I think that this was the best match these two have had together. It had lots of action and some really unique moves. ****

10. AJ Styles vs. Abyss

Really good match. AJ uses his speed against Abyss' power. In the end they both start using weapons and it becomes a hardcore match. ***1/2

11. AJ Styles vs. Abyss (Falls Count Anywhere)

Good match where they fight all through the crowd. ***

12. AJ vs. Jeff Jarrett (Cage match)

Great match ***

The DVD includes commentary by AJ which is a good listen. AJ Styles is the most exciting, innovating wrestler today. This really is a great DVD which all wrestling fans should check out.

Why people are using up review space to insult each other and compaire Raw Homecoming to TNA's debute is beyond me.

Anyway, onto the matches that are on this DVD:

I will be the first to admit that I have been a WWE fan since i can remember and never cared for WCW and until recently didnt really enjoy ECW, but because of AJ Styles and the first match i ever saw of him, I now enjoy TNA more than WWE. This DVD showcases the most talented wrestler I have seen in recent years in ability, even surpassing a young shawn michaels as a previous person said, and based on the matches on this DVD, and recent encounters with Samoa Joe, i see him rising to the top. Something which in my mind i believe would have already happened if he was in the WWE, simply because not many people know about TNA, but i guarantee those who do, and some who dont, will not be disappointed by this DVD

This is a great DVD full of AJs best matches thier are a total of 12 matchs on this DVD, but I am only goinig to review my favorites

Fatal Four way for the X DIVision title vs. Jerry Lyne, Low Ki, and Phocosis

10/10 this is a alsome match it just stinks that both Ki and Phocosis got eliminated early, this match is full of high risk move moves making it fun to watch

Triple Ladder match vs Low Ki and Jerry Lyne

9.5/10 this was a great ladder match with a lot of cool ways to use the ladder, the only problem is it stated off kind of slow

vs amazing Red

9/10

Another amazing match Red is one of my favorite guys in TNA I just think the match ended to soon

vs Raven, Jeff Jarret

8.5/10

I would have given it a better rating if Raven wouldn't have gotten taken out by Shane Dougles This is where AJ wins his 1st NWA heavyweight title

Vs Abyess

Vs Abyess Fallws count any where

10/10 both of these matchs are alsome these two know how to put on a good match There is a alsome spot in the Falls count any where match where AJ flips over the railing

There are alot of other great matchs on this DVD but it stinks that there are really no extras and they left out 2 of my favorite AJ matchs; his First Ultimate X match and the 1st King of the mountain Macth

Still I high recomend this DVD it is way better than any WWe DVD out now

Let me just say this: this DVD isn't your normal WWF/E affair where the featured "Superstar" is practically the only wrestler featured on it. Fans of Jerry Lynn and Lo-ki can and will certainly appreciate this compilation as they are both prominently featured in this collection.

AJ Styles isn't exactly my favorite wrestler (if a wrestler is either overly promoted or overly hyped they immediately lose my attention), but regardless he is incredibly talented. Some of his spots are fairly unique to American wrestling, especially if you've been fed a diet of WWE snores and bores. His springboard 450 splash and springboard shooting star press are especially impressive. His finishing move--the Styles Clash--is a bit lackluster though (a face buster? How lame is that?!) But I digress.

The best matches on this collection feature AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn and Lo-Ki. This DVD is worth the price just to see those three go at it.

Anyway, if you consider yourself a true fan of wrestling I suggest you pick up this and TNA's "The Best of the X Division" DVDs.

TNA - Total Nonstop Action is the name of the company and thats just what this DVD is. All the matches on this DVD are great and shows you why thy call AJ Styles Phenomenal. I can't wait for Volume 2.

The best of AJ Styles DVD really is phenomenal. It includes his great matches with Low Ki, Raven, Abyss and Jerry Lynn. One of the best wrestling dvd's ever made. Highly recommended!
