As far as his thoughts on TNA's six-sided ring and whether or not he prefers it, he says at the time they were using it he liked it because he felt that it made them different, and when Hulk Hogan came in and the word started circulating that they would be changing it he and many of the guys were resentful because it was their signature.

However, he took a suplex from Angle off the ring that made him rethink his decision because of how bad it hurt, but then once they converted to a squared circle he quickly realized all of Kurt's suplexes hurt equally regardless of the structure.

He has Don "The Dragon" Wilson to thank for the origin of his nickname "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who began using it on commentary without any prompting early in his career and it stuck ever since.
