Impact Wrestling: 10 best matches on PPV

#6 Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles (TNA Turning Point 2005)

Joe and Styles put on a show for the fans

This was a fantastic match between two great wrestlers.

Styles started things off with a lot of great energy, making things exciting right away.

Joe's offense was quite frightening with stiff strikes and thumping power moves, and Joe carried himself like a total destroyer with his nature switching between ‘cold and calculating’ to that of an ‘aggressive warrior’.

The Phenomenal One sold Joe’s offence fantastically, emphasising the size difference and showing the long-term effects of Joe’s attacks.

Styles' endurance and comebacks were very impassioned due to his terrific ability to portray an underdog by using his tremendous facial expressions, posture and gestures.

Because of Joe’s size, Styles had to use his speed and in-ring intelligence to outsmart his opponent, getting him into weakened states in order to then hit more effective moves.

He also did well to showcase AJ’s offense when selling: stumbling around, becoming dazed, and slowly collapsing to show how significant it was that he was able to overcome Joe's size advantage.

Joe winning by submission and putting Styles to sleep was a nice surprise finish.

Overall, this was a beautiful wrestling match with a great mix of Styles' agility, speed, and underdog passion with Joe’s strength, size, and brutal aggression.

Both wrestlers continued to have an amazing series of matches with each other and this ranks one of the best matches in TNA history.
