7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 24)
6. AJ Styles Is A Flat Earther
The earth isn't flat. I'm just going to leave that statement there because it's as objective a fact you're going to read.
AJ Styles, on this week's edition of Talking Smack, stated in response to Daniel Bryan's gentle ribbing that he didn't entirely support the flat earth theory - but that "there are things about that make sense," and that Bryan "couldn't handle," what he essentially implied was his truth.
Professional wrestlers should have a better grasp of the earth's spherical nature than most. Styles has travelled the world for nearly two decades, at several points during which he must have phoned home, only to discover that he had inconvenienced his wife as a result of the time zone differences a flat earth would render impossible. Styles, during his feud with John Cena last year, was fond of boasting of this - but at no point during those countless long haul flights must he have looked out of the window, through which you can often see the curvature of the earth. There's also the inconvenience that is the ability to take pictures of the earth from space to consider.
AJ Styles, of all WWE superstars, should have a keen grasp of gravity. When he springboards from the top rope and flies across the ring, he tends to land, more often than not.
