AJ Styles addresses the Avery Styles/Arik Cannon situation:
“The promoter that was talking, at least he thought he was a promoter, was not the promoter of the show that my son was at. He was there to set up the ring. He got paid to do this with his crew. Avery never heard anybody say anything about this, and in fact, the guy that he was working with, Marcus Mathers, was like, ‘Yeah, no, we never heard anything. All we did was worked in our match.’
With that being said, take it for what it is, whatever you want to do with it. I’ve never helped anybody. They’ve never asked me when I was paid to do a show for them to help them set up. And furthermore, definitely the ring crew guy hasn’t said anything to me. That’s all I’m gonna say about it.
If you are on the fence on whether or not you like Avery and you see him in a show, go up and talk to him. Then decide for yourself. I have raised my kids to be polite and thankful and appreciative, and I can promise you this. Nobody’s been harder on their kids than me. I don’t play around. I don’t have sympathy for them, especially when it comes to wrestling. They’re not getting that from me. But I will protect their integrity. I think he’s a pretty good kid, at least that’s what I hear from anybody and everybody who ever meets him face to face,
— It shouldn’t have blown up like this. It should have been two guys talking to each other like adults. But after the third time on the line, I was like, ‘Wait a minute. This guy’s trying to make this kid look bad. Let me say something.’ Maybe it wasn’t the best thing. Maybe I should have shut up. Probably should have. I didn’t need to bring it up, but I couldn’t help it. I’m a dad. I’m gonna defend my son when somebody else is wrong. And believe you me, I checked on this first before I said anything.”

This could be one of the greatest underdog stories ever. A completely unknown 35 year old Communications major from the University of Pittsburgh could potentially make the Rams roster. I hope they give him a chance.
Why Ijla Dragunov isn't on WWE TV since WrestleMania season. From WrestleVotes podcast today.
“Analytics, man. They rely on analytics so much. And if these numbers look bad against you and not in your favor, they won’t use you as much. Some of these guys are feeling the effects of WWE’s new Moneyball approach, where they take numbers, analytics, and reporting. People turn off the TV when this guy’s on. They don’t click on his name. WWE utilizes these more than anyone will ever know. These guys are really hurting because of that.”
Are the fucking kidding me? GREAT GREAT fucking wrestler can't get in the ring to WRESTLE because of some stupid shit like this? Why don't you write something for him, and several others so that people WILL BE INTERESTED.
