Allen Neal Jones best known by the ring name AJ Styles is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE. Long regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the world, Styles has headlined numerous pay-per-view events internationally.
Styles debuted in 1998 and competed for various independent promotions, before gaining his first mainstream exposure in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 2001. He became widely known for his tenure in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) from 2002-2013, where he was dubbed "Mr. TNA". While in TNA, Styles held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice. He was also the inaugural titleholder of the X Division Championship, which he won six times. Styles is the first professional wrestler ever to complete the TNA Triple Crown (five times) and the TNA Grand Slam (two times).
In 2010, Styles became the first ever TNA-contracted wrestler to be ranked number one on the annual Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) PWI 500 list. He simultaneously appeared in Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002-2006, where he became the first ROH Pure Champion.

Styles has also won various titles on international independent circuits, including the PWG World Championship.
Styles first appeared in WWE (then the World Wrestling Federation, or the WWF) in 2002, but turned down a developmental contract he was offered with the company. He signed a multi-year contract with WWE fourteen years later in January 2016, making his re-debut that month and going on to win the WWE Championship in September.

Native Detroiter Kevin Nash is an actor and equal rights advocate who discovered his love of comedy as the class clown in elementary school and to this day, he can find humor in almost any situation. One day he could not find humor was April 4th, 1968 as that was the day his father died of a heart attack at work at 36 years of age. After spending the day at the funeral home he came home seeking solace in the back bedroom of their 800 sq. foot home watching his portable TV. Suddenly on screen came the report of Martin Luther King's assassination. This brought to mind sitting on his father's knee as they watched MLK's "I have a dream" speech. This touched a nerve since the only time he'd ever seen his father cry was the day JFK was shot. Kevin's father, a lifelong democrat instilled core values in his son which later in life lead to Nash's advocacy of human rights, whether it be race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
After 3 years playing Division 1 college basketball for the Tennessee Volunteers a physical altercation with the head coach Don DeVoe (Kevin pie-faced him after DeVoe grabbed Nash by his jersey), led to a parting of the ways. He was then inspired to join the Army after watching Bill Murray's Stripes and went on to not only have top-secret clearance but also represent the US Armed Forces in the paint. Upon honorable discharge from the Army, Nash played European basketball where a career-ending catastrophic knee injury concluded his basketball career and would hinder his ensuing professional athletic career from day one. His love of being an athlete led him down another path to infamy, namely, professional wrestling. He is one of only eight human beings on the planet to bear the elite distinction of being TWICE inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, after a career garnering 6 world title belts and 21 championships in total. Of course, none of that would have been possible without the brains, talent, and personality that put him on the Mt. Olympus of the sports entertainment universe in the first place.
While his athletic route to fame using not only his wit and Detroit coolness but also his considerable 6'10" size and physical prowess to his advantage is what he may be best known for, Nash's skill as a primarily comedic actor is what gives him the most personal satisfaction. Proudest of his portrayal as Officer Englehart in The Longest Yard (2005), the role was originally scripted for a single line, "Who drank all the damn Gatorade?!" but when both Adam Sandler and director Peter Segal saw how thoroughly and artfully Nash embraced the part, Englehart became a much, much bigger part of the film due to Nash's ability to ad-lib scenes. Kevin's take on this masculine prison guard turned estrogen-laden cheerleader, is perhaps his most memorable character to date.
Part Native American and part Neanderthal, Kevin Nash is one-of-a-kind.- Actor

- La Parka was one of the most colorful and well known Mexican wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. He spent his early career making a name for himself in Mexico in the early 1990s. He, like most of the other Mexican wrestling stars, wrestled in a full body costume, including a mask. His persona was that of a skeleton, looking a bit like the evil Skeletor from He-man.
La Parka finally made his way to the rings of WCW in 1996 after the likes of Rey Mysterio Jr and Konnan opened up the doors for Luchadores, as Mexican wrestlers were known. He quickly became known as a very talented wrestler, wrestling on TNT's high-profile Nitro broadcasts on Monday night. Matches with other talented high-fliers, such as Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Psichosis, and Juventud Guerrera, made the art of Lucha-Libre very popular. La Parka, at 6' 4" was actually the largest of the Luchadores in WCW. He was well known for bringing his trademark steel chair with him to the ring for every match, earning him the nickname the "Chairman of WCW". That, along with his trademark dance routine to taunt his opponent, made him one of the most entertaining wrestlers in WCW.
La Parka appeared on several WCW Pay Per Views, such as World War 3 '96, Superbrawl '97, Bash at the Beach '97, World War 3 '97, Souled Out '98, Superbrawl '98, and Spring Stampede '98, which only helped boost his popularity.
Unfortunately for many many closet La Parka fans out there, WCW had a terrible reputation for overlooking talented newcomers in favor of older, established stars. This led to La Parka never getting anything but a cult following in WCW, as he was never used to any real extent storyline-wise. He ended up leaving WCW in 2000 and returning to his wrestling roots in Mexico. - Actor

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was born in Victoria, Texas, as Steven James Anderson, on December 18, 1964, the youngest of five children. His mother, Beverly Jane (Harrison), remarried to Kenneth Williams, and he took his stepfather's surname. He played football at the North Texas State University. He was worthy of achieving a free education because of his football skills in school. Williams then began training at Chris Adams's wrestling school as a rookie near the end of 1988, and made his professional wrestling debut at the end of 1989. He then moved over to minor wrestling companies to wrestle for money, and later entered WCW under the name of 'Stunning Steve Austin'. He didn't make a large name for himself in the company, as he only held an embarrassing two TV titles. Austin was fired by WCW and joined the WWF (now known as WWE) in December 1995. Austin left after a while to go to ECW but only stayed for a couple of weeks before he came back to the WWF as 'Stone Cold Steve Austin'. Austin then disposed of his old finishing move the 'Million Dollar Dream', which was the trademark of 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, and began racking up the victories with his Stone Cold Stunner (kick to the gut followed by a jawbreaker).
Austin then had a good winning streak going by 1996 and wrestled to become the 1996 King Of The Ring. Austin cut his lip open during one match, and had to get it stitched up in between matches. In the grand final of the KOTR he defeated Jake 'The Snake' Roberts with a Stone Cold Stunner, and invented his famous motto as 'Austin 3:16'. As 1997 rolled around Austin's career soared to new heights. WCW realized Austin's popularity, and tried to make a 'clone' when they invited 'Bill Goldberg' to compete for them. During that year, Austin won the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice and the Tag Team Championships. When Austin successfully defended the IC title against Rocky Maivia (now known as The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson) on a taping of RAW, he was ordered to defend it again because he drove his pickup truck to the ring and delivered a Stunner to D'Lo Brown ('A.C. Conner') on the roof, which Vince McMahon saw as weapon usage. Austin refused to defend the title again and dumped the old belt in a river, and therefore McMahon crowned Rocky Maivia as the new champion. However, Austin said he didn't care about that title, and set his sights on the Heavyweight Championship. Although Austin had won the 1997 Royal Rumble to qualify as the Number 1 Contender for the championship at WrestleMania XIII, he didn't get the place because he was eliminated but referees didn't notice, so instead, Austin fought Bret Hart in an Iron Man match which Hart won when Austin passed out from blood loss when he was trapped in a Sharpshooter. However, Austin successfully won the 1998 Royal Rumble when he eliminated Rocky Maivia. A stipulation was made for the main event at WrestleMania XIV (Austin vs. Shawn Michaels): the special guest referee would be Iron Mike Tyson! Austin had made a friendship with Tyson, but all though Tyson betrayed him when he joined DX! However, Tyson shocked the world when Austin hit Michaels with a Stone Cold Stunner and covered him while Tyson made the count, to win his first heavyweight title! Austin then went on to enjoy three months as champion when he lost the title to Kane (Glenn Jacobs)in a First Blood match on June 28, 1998, at King Of The Ring. However, Austin regained the title a day later, and was forced to compete for it in a tournament at the 1998 Survivor Series. He was defeated by Mankind ('Mick Foley'), and later that night, The Rock won the championship and joined the Corporation.
As 1999 came around, Austin became embroiled in a feud with The Rock when Vince McMahon eliminated him from the Royal Rumble while The Rock had him distracted. However, Austin still got the place in the main event at WrestleMania XV, and he won his third championship from The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner. He retained the title against The Rock in a Boiler Room Brawl at Backlash 1999. Austin lost the title to The Undertaker ('Mark Callaway'), but regained it in July 1999. Later that year, at the 1999 Survivor Series Austin was ran over by a car and had to have spinal surgery, and was out of action for the next 11 months. However, Austin returned to the wrestling scene at Backlash 2000 when he helped The Rock win his fourth WWF Championship from Triple H ('Michael Paul LeVesque'). Austin was then welcomed back to wrestle in October 2000 at No Mercy, when he fought Rikishi ('Solofa Fatu') in a No Holds Barred match which had to be stopped when Austin was about to run Rikishi over but was arrested by the police. The mystery was revealed that it was Triple H who had Rikishi run Austin over, and Austin battled Triple H at Survivor Series 2000, and won the match. Steve had a chance to win the WWF title from Kurt Angle, who was reigning at the time, at Armaggedon 2000, in a Six-Man Hell In A Cell Match, which also had Kurt Angle, The Rock, Triple H, Rikishi, and The Undertaker. Austin had the title in his grasp when he hit The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner, but Angle snuck up and covered The Rock to retain the title.
Austin's hopes raised yet again when he eliminated Kane from the 2001 Royal Rumble, therefore becoming the first and only ever three-time Royal Rumble winner, and the Number One Contender for the WWF Championship. At No Way Out 2001, Austin lost a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match to Triple H, when they both knocked each other out, but Triple H fell on top of Austin. Later that night, The Rock defeated Kurt Angle to become the first-ever six-time WWF World Champion, therefore deciding that the main event at WrestleMania X7 would be The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin defeated The Rock on April 1, 2001, for his fifth WWF title, but turned heel when he joined forces with Vince McMahon. The Rock was suspended from the WWF for almost four months. Austin's reign as Champion lasted for 5 months and 22 days, which was the longest championship reign in several years. Austin won the Tag Team Championship with Triple H at Backlash 2001, but they lost them again on May 21, on a taping of RAW to Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. In that same match, Triple H tore his quadricep muscle and had to go to hospital for eight months of surgery. At King Of The Ring 2001 on June 24 Austin retained the title successfully from both Jericho and Benoit in a Triple Threat match.
Austin shocked the world by turning heel again on July 22, 2001 when he joined the WCW/ECW Alliance, helping them win the Inaugural Brawl against the WWF, and also invented the catchphrase of 2001, which was "What?". However, Vince McMahon reinstated The Rock on July 30. In August, Kurt Angle started feuding with Austin and was determined to take the championship back from him at Summerslam. Austin disqualified himself to remain the champion, however, Angle won the title back from him at Unforgiven on September 23, 2001. Austin then regained the title from Angle on RAW in October, when William Regal came to his aid. In November, Austin narrowly escaped losing the title to The Rock at Rebellion, with a little help from Kurt Angle. Later that month, The Rock put the WCW/ECW Alliance out of business in the Winner Take All match, which was also Austin's first loss to The Rock. However, Austin returned to the federation, still as the heavyweight champion the night after, but lost it to Chris Jericho on December 9, 2001, when Jericho became the first-ever Undisputed Champion when Austin was defeated in the grand finals. Austin then challenged Jericho for the Undisputed title at No Way Out 2002 in February, and would have won the match, but the nWo interfered and attacked Austin, helping Jericho retain the title. Austin then feuded with the nWo's Scott Hall and faced him in a match at WrestleMania X8, which Austin won, even putting away the difficulty that was made by the constant interfering of Kevin Nash. At Backlash 2002 Austin faced the Undertaker in a Number 1 Contender match for the Undisputed Championship, but Austin was screwed out of the decision when The Undertaker booted a steel chair into his face and covered him for the pinfall. Austin had his foot on the rope, but special referee Ric Flair didn't notice. Austin began feuding with Flair and faced him in a 2-On-1 Handicap match at Judgment Day 2002 - Flair's partner was Big Show Paul Wight. That would be Austin's last PPV match, as early in June, he did not show up for a taping of RAW. Austin has not been seen since. He is 6'2", and when he first entered the federation he weighed 241 pounds, but boosted up to 252 later on in his career. He says that his weight "depends on how much beer I drink".- Actor

Pierre Carl Ouellet, the six foot one, two hundred sixty pounder made his World Wrestling Federation debut in mid 1993 with fellow Canadian wrestler Jacques Rougeau as The Quebecers, a tag team dressed as Mounties but would come to an entrance theme that they sang themselves saying "We're not the Mounties". Following in the footsteps of The fabulous Rougeau Brothers (where Jacques was one half of the team with his brother Raymond) they had much success with three WWF Tag Team Title runs and victories over such teams as The Steiner Brothers (Rick & Scott) and Men on a Mission (Mable & Mo). Why they had great success in the federation was due to their great communication, wrestling tactics, and double-teaming on their opponents. Their finishing move was a deadly one where Pierre would get on the top turnbuckle and Jacques would grab his hands and face toward their opponent stunned in the middle of the ring and Rougeau would throw Pierre and he would land hard on the foe's fallen body and it would be over. Pierre and Jacques were managed by Johnny Polo (ECW's Raven) later in 1993. Before the 1993 Survivors Series came Lex Luger fought Pierre on an edition of Monday Night Raw and injured him with his forearm finisher. The Quebecer missed the event so the main event changed and it was the team of Guts and Glory (Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers, and The Undertaker) vs. The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques, and Crush). Crush was Pierre's replacement. The Quebecers defended the titles at the 1994 Royal Rumble against fellow Canadians Bret and Owen Hart. Due to an injury to Bret's leg caused by continuous punishment by The Quebecers the match was a no contest. After being defeated by the Samoans, The Quebecers disappeared from the wrestling scene. In the summer of 1995 Pierre came back to the federation but only under a new name and a new gimmick. The name was Jean Pierre Lafitte, a pirate bent on revenge. He made his debut on an edition of Monday Night Raw in the month of April against Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Though the garbage man gave him a hard time, Lafitte eventually won the match using his cannonball finishing maneuver. A move very similar to his move with Jacques Rougeau but this time Ouellet jumped on the opponent by himself. Pierre's Pirate persona had great potential with an all business attitude but he never received the chance to wrestle the big names. He made his first Pay Per View appearance at the very first WWF In Your House in May facing off against Bob "Spark Plug" Holly and defeating him. Lafitte's only feud was with Bret "The Hitman" Hart and it ended by a defeat by The Hitman at Pierre's last Pay Per View appearance in the September edition of In Your House. Pierre slowly disappeared from the WWF crowds and it was never established why Jean Pierre Lafitte vanished from the ranks. Ouellet wrestled here and there for independent and lesser known federations in 1996. In the later part of 1996 Pierre and Jacques Rougeau joined the ranks in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as The Amazing French Canadians. They wore blue tights and came down the aisle waving the Canadian flag. The team got some wrestling time on Monday Nitro and WCW Saturday Night but never accomplished any goals. A few months after their introduction they left WCW to pursue other things. Rougeau retired from the sport and Pierre again became a singles wrestler and wrestled all over the world. Later in 2000 Carl Ouellet had a brief stint in WCW with Lance Storm and his Team Canada. Ouellet held the WCW Hardcore Championship title by defeating Big Vito but losing it to Norman Smiley a day later. He left WCW soon after this defeat. In 2003 Pierre had a WWE Raw "dark" match against El Tornado and was successful but he never made the show. Also in 2003 Ouellet debuted as The Masked X in NWA/TNA. Pierre wore the usual strapped tights but this time with many colors and a mask. Ouellet was also seen with a new tattoo. Ouellet now wrestles in Canada waiting to get a chance at a major championship.- Actor
