If you’re a long-term Pro Wrestling fan then you’ve definitely heard about this match at least once in your life. Often being billed as the greatest TNA match of all time, this was a 25 minute classic between three of the very best competitors of the Pro Wrestling business.

The veteran Christopher Daniels walked into this match as the heel champion, whereas, Samoa Joe was built as the monster challenger, with Styles also playing the role of a challenger who has been screwed out his opportunity on numerous occasions in the past.

The match kicked-off with Joe and AJ teaming up on Daniels only for things to eventually fall apart within the next few minutes of the match.

Some absolutely jaw-dropping high-flying spots add an extra bit of spice to this match and following a few near falls, AJ Styles subsequently picked up the win and capture the TNA X-Division Championship by pinning the champion, Daniels.

This match is definitely one of the most talked about Pro Wrestling matches of all time and if you really consider yourself to be a Pro Wrestling fan then I suggest you check out this contest immediately if you haven’t already.

Personally, I also feel that this match seemingly put AJ Styles on the map in the very first place.
