10 Wrestlers Who Couldn’t Come Up With A Comeback

The earth is a sphere.

Take a commercial flight and see for yourself. As a professional wrestler, AJ Styles has taken literally thousands. There are pictures of the f*cking thing on the several wrestling titles he has held. As a man not averse to a high-flying move, he should grasp that the higher he climbs, the farther he sees.

AJ Styles does not believe this, as Daniel Bryan revealed to the world on the dearly departed Talking Smack.

When Styles said that Bryan has a "very small brain" Bryan spotted an "actually, hang the f*ck on" opening to gently rib a colleague he is in awe of professionally, but very nicely dances around the fact that thinks is as thick as f*ck.

"Do you want to talk about how you think the world is flat?" Bryan said.

"Do you want to talk about how your feet are flat?" Styles said in numbskulled response.

Styles later responded in the thickest f*ckest twang that he wasn't a "flat earther", a protest Randy Orton has recently dismissed - there are just some things about the theory that "make sense", he said, before resolutely failing to bring any of them up to form a scientific rationale.
