Man GTFOH with this....
but back to reality, AJ is the man now it's dope to have followed his journey from WCW to TNA to NJPW to what nobody thought would ever happen WWE let alone getting the WWE Title. He def top 15 if not 10. -

Ridiculous...
Dude is special though, it says a lot that so many different promoters thought he was a top guy and a big enough draw to hold top titles. -

He's the man right now but c'mon!

It's cause a lot of ppl are WWE fans more than wrestling fans but I agree. His TNA run was more impressive than HBK. His feud and faction with Flair was more impressive than HBK. His in-ring ability is more impressive than HBK. He adapts really well to every industry and storyline he's been in. HBK can't do that. He's WWE only. Their style is more slow paced.

What does that mean? Being a better winner? -
This reeks of folks saying aj is better cuz he flippity flops more
And i love flips but... mane...
What's next, Kobe >>mj? -
He was incredibly impressive in the fortune faction with Ric Flair. He adapted Ric Flair's style and became a technical wrestler during that time period which was little to no flipping. Him, Kaz, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Bobby Roode and Kurt Angle were what kept TNA afloat. He also put on ? incredible matches against Kurt Angle which ? all over HBK vs Angle's run. When he left to NJPW and even ROH he created his own submission move. The word phenomenal is not a phrase, it's a testimony. His skills writes a story of itself. Great writing is what made HBK great. I'm not knocking Shawn at all but AJ took HBK's spot in my top 5. I may be a bit biased though because I was always more of a Bret Hart fan anyway.

When you factor charisma, mic skills, look, impact on the industry, storylines etc AJ is not even top 30 All Time, the only thing he does above average is his in ring work and even that isn't Top 10 All Time great...
I don't even consider AJ better than Punk All Time and Punk wasn't even all that to me.. -
What makes aj great in ring is the athleticism (not down playing other factors but that's his best)
What makes hbk great in ring us the storytelling which is what wwe does (again not downplaying other factors but...)
Imo the storytelling of hbk greatest matches give him the edge over aj best matches, now aj may b more technically sound than hbk but imo (n I may b reaching with this comparison but bare with me) Nas is more technically sound than Jay, but what makes Jay better is being slightly better at the overall game, I think that's how I'd put it with this.
And as u see, aj addin in the wwe storytelling and improved mic work n he's having arguably a career year
All said and done aj prolly top 5 but idk if I could unseat hbk from position 1 b just yet personally -
AJ needed this WWE run to show off his personality. His personality has always been hidden by all the flippy ? and the gymnastics.
In WWE hia push has been because he brought it from a character perspective. He's raising the bar.
I'll still take HBK at 39 vs Styles at 39 but Styles is awesome and I think he is climbing up the GOAT ladder. I want him to main event WM and he will be even closer to GOAT levels. -
I wana see hbk in wwe ring talkn(interview like he did with seth) n aj come out n stare at each other nh..diss lines
Just for a fan moment -
