17 Things We Learned From AJ Styles On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast
16. Is He Happy With His Spot?
Steve points out that AJ is an 18-year veteran of the business and has been around the block, then tells him he's been knocking it out of the park with his matches. He wants to know: Is AJ happy with the spot he's in right now?
Styles replies "How could I not be?" He likes being put in the position where he has to work for it; he feels better when he has to strive toward a destination rather than have something given to him. He wants to be in the main event and he knows he has something to prove so he gets after it when he gets in the ring.
Austin notices that AJ wrestles with a chip on his shoulder, and he responds that it's not a chip so much as it's just the work ethic of a guy who has always been slighted due to his size.
He tells a story about his oldest son who he calls a fantastic athlete, but he's also small. When Styles spoke with his father about it, his dad said "So were you, you just didn't know it."
