10 Insane Wrestling Moves AJ Styles Doesn't Do Anymore

7. Discus Lariat

AJ Styles may be best known for his flashy, exciting moves, but he's still an incredible all-rounder who can wrestle and hit hard. Case in point - a young "Phenomenal One" used to possess a Discus Lariat that would make JBL wince.

The clothesline/lariat, of course, is one of the simplest moves in wrestling - all a wrestler needs to do is run at his opponent with his arm extended. Still, Styles made it look like science, spinning around to supposedly add momentum, then leaving his feet to sell just how hard he was hitting the other guy.

Given that the move is pretty simple, AJ Styles could easily bring it back - especially since he's feuding with Dean Ambrose, who has a crazy clothesline of his own.
