10 Insane Wrestling Moves AJ Styles Doesn't Do Anymore

9. Springboard Shooting Star Press

Fosbury Flop
TNA

A shooting star press is one of the most visually impressive and difficult moves to pull off in wrestling - so naturally, AJ Styles had to put his own spin on it, making it even crazier. Thus was born the "Shooting Styles Press," a springboard shooting star press to the outside of the ring. Not only did Styles have to perch carefully on the top rope for a split second before executing the difficult flip, but he had to rotate more before the landing.

This is arguably Styles's most famous use of the move - taking out Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniel in their three-way X Division Championship match, widely considered the best bout in TNA history.
