13. A.J. STYLES
A.J. Styles found wrestling through very unconventional means. Many of the people who are featured on this list found wrestling as a means of survival through a love and passion for the industry, but A.J.’s story is a little different.
Growing up in a very poor area of Georgia, A.J.’s family life was shaky at best. His father was a very abusive alcoholic and A.J. remembers living in a small cramped trailer without cable television because his family was unable to afford it at the time. So how did he find wrestling if he was unable to watch it as a child growing up?
He and his friends joined a wrestling school with A.J. having absolutely no background in the sport whatsoever, but as fate would have it, he found out that he was a natural. Since that day his life has been devoted to becoming one of the best talents the industry has ever seen, earning respect as The Phenomenal One across the world.
