aj stylesIWGP Champion AJ Styles joined the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show Thursday afternoon to discuss a number of topics, from ROH’s recent talent infusion, the Bullet Club in Ring of Honor, ACH, the return of Samoa Joe, the Styles Clash controversy, smart marks, the growth of New Japan in the states, and much more.

You can listen to the entire interview at this link, and the show is also available on iTunes and Play.it.

On the Return of Samoa Joe:

“Joe coming back to Ring of Honor is huge.  He and I talked before he released his statement but I was excited about him maybe having the opportunity for him to come back to Ring of Honor because it’s exciting to have a guy who you know works hard and can do unbelievable things and has a history at Ring of Honor.  I’m excited to see the welcome he gets when he comes back, not just from the guys in the back, because I know they will welcome him, but from the fans waiting on him.”

On ROH:

“I think they’re trying.  You don’t want to move too fast, you start to move fast and you make holes that cost you your company.  I think they’re doing the right thing in bringing in these guys, giving these dream matches that people want to see.  To me it’s not taking a step back, it’s actually going somewhere having fun and having great matches.”

On the Styles Clash:

“The one thing I can’t control is your head, that’s up to you, and there’s only one thing you can’t do in the move is tuck it.  There’s no reason for you to do that. At the end of the day if they don’t want to take it I have no problem not doing the Styles Clash, there are other things that I can do. But if the promoter wants it and everybody’s cool with it that’s what we’re gonna do.”
