Allen Neal Jones〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Intelius search )〕 (born June 2, 1977),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official website )〕 better known by his ring name A.J. Styles, is an American professional wrestler currently with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former two-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He is also working for Ring of Honor (ROH). Styles is best known for his twelve year tenure working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is one of the TNA originals and at one point even acquired the nickname 'Mr. TNA'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-08-18 )〕 While in TNA, Styles held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times, and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice. He was also the inaugural TNA X Division Champion, a title he has held six times. Styles has held the Television Championship twice: once when it was called the TNA Legends Championship, and once when known as the TNA Global Championship. Styles is also a decorated tag team wrestler, having been a seven-time world tag team champion in his career (NWA - four times; TNA - twice; ROH - once). By winning the TNA X Division, NWA World Tag Team, and NWA World Heavyweight Championships, Styles was the first to complete the TNA Triple Crown Championship. Styles went on to complete this Triple Crown five more times; he is the only performer to accomplish this more than once. His victory over Booker T for the TNA Legends (then Television) Championship made him the first man to have ever won the TNA Grand Slam Championship, which he has done twice. He is also the only performer in TNA history to have held every male championship owned and/or sanctioned by TNA throughout its history. All totaled, Styles has held 19 championships in TNA. In 2010, he became the first TNA-contracted wrestler to be ranked #1 on ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated''s annual PWI 500 list. Styles ended his long association with TNA in 2013 after his contract expired, returning to ROH (where he is a former Pure Wrestling and World Tag Team Champion). In March 2014, Styles signed a non-exclusive deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), and took the promotion's top championship—the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, in his first match with the company. Between TNA, ROH, and NJPW, Styles has held seven world championships and 23 championships, overall. Concurrent with his NJPW and ROH work, Styles also performs on the independent circuit, where he has held numerous additional championships, as well. == Early life == Jones grew up in poverty with an abusive, alcoholic father.〔 Jones attended Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia. Jones left college (in Anderson, South Carolina where he was on a partial wrestling scholarship) to try professional wrestling, entering a professional wrestling school because his friends were doing it—and, to find out whether or not he had a natural aptitude for it. To supplement his income, Jones worked by mowing lawns and driving an ambulance.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A.J. Styles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
