Long before AJ Styles was bringing the best out in John Cena, Roman Reigns, and virtually everybody he works with in WWE, and even before he was a TNA stalwart, the future WWE Champion was a fresh-faced rookie looking to make a name for himself in WCW.
Drafted in as part of the promotion's new Cruiserweight Tag-Team Title idea, the young AJ formed a short-lived unit with a man who wouldn't go on to share the same level of success as Styles. That guy was Air Paris, a wrestler Styles had worked with numerous times on NWA Wildside cards in the late-90s.
Barely looking old enough to be inside the ring, Paris was nonetheless an exciting and dynamic high-flyer; together, he and Styles were collectively known as 'Air Raid', wrestling several times on shows like Nitro and Thunder.
The tag-team wouldn't make it to pay-per-view before WCW went out of business, and neither AJ or Paris would have their contracts picked up by the WWF. This means that Air Paris only had a few months in the WCW spotlight before disappearing into relative obscurity.
