His call. There are all kinds of accomplishments in wrestling but most of them are going to be lost at some point. Eventually a wrestler is going to lose a championship or someone is going to come after them and be the latest winner. Very few accomplishments last forever, but now one of the most successful stars in recent memory has turned down the chance to earn such an honor.

Over the weekend, TNA Wrestling held its annual Bound For Glory event, including its Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. A previous report from Fightful Select, TNA had contacted WWE about having AJ Styles inducted but WWE turned it down. However, Styles commented on Twitter, saying that it was his call to not go into the Hall Of Fame. Styles said that he chose not to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame because he is still an active wrestler. There is no word on if Styles will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame when his in-ring career is over.

Opinion: That makes sense, as being in the Hall Of Fame, of any kind for that matter, feels like something that regularly comes after someone’s career is over. If Styles doesn’t want to be inducted, there isn’t much that TNA can do about it, as it isn’t quite the same if his heart isn’t in the whole thing. For now though, we have to wait and see when Styles is going to get back into the ring.
