For those who saw the golden years of TNA's X-Division though, AJ Styles' wars with longtime frenemy Christopher Daniels are the stuff of legend.

With Jeff Jarrett's shenanigans-laden claw hold on the NWA World Title infuriating many, the X-Division's focus on high-flying workrate and dynamic young stars was a breath of fresh air. No one embodied the daredevil, grand scale mayhem of the division better than 'The Phenomenal One'.

A homegrown fan favourite, Styles found his perfect rival in Christopher Daniels. Dark, eccentric and vainglorious where Styles was straight-laced and noble, Daniels believed himself the true king of the division. At Against All Odds 2005, the beef kicked into high gear with 'The Georgia Pitbull' retaining the X-Division gold against 'The Fallen Angel' in an incendiary Iron Man match.

Rather than an over-the-top personal feud, the pair were essentially sportsmen trying to outwit each other, both determined to prove they held the superior technique. As 2005 went on, the increasingly on-and-off rivalry between the pair developed a deeper, more poignant layer. Despite all the bluff and bluster, it was clear they respected each other.

By 2006, and in the wake of Samoa Joe essentially massacring the X-Division scene, Styles and Daniels were on-screen pals and a fan favourite tag team. It was a thoughtful and satisfying end to an impressive and engaging battle of wits.

The less said about the feuds that followed with these two the better.
