5 Things fans have likely forgotten about AJ Styles

#3 'The Nature Boy' AJ Styles

To be the man? At one time, AJ Styles called himself the nature boy.

One of the storylines that were intended to bring out a different side of Styles was when he was mentored by ‘The Nature Boy' Ric Flair. He came to the ring draped in the long robes that are so closely associated with the Nature Boy. The problem was it looked incredibly awkward and did not suit 'The Phenomenal One'.

It was believed that a reason why he was given this Nature Boy-like character was to help showcase personality and charisma that some felt was lacking. To see him today it is clear nothing could be further from the truth. Styles comes to the ring with a sense of confidence and believability that has made him one of the greatest performers in the world. It is unfortunate that he was forced to have this gimmick, and it is certainly something fans have forgotten about Styles.
