One would go on to become a multi-time world champion in multiple companies worldwide and one of the best pro wrestlers of his generation. His name is “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles.

This week on Sitting Ringside, David Penzer sits down with the man, Frank Parris, who talks about his career that started at age 14, his time in NWA Wildside and the year-long feud he had with AJ Styles that led to their opportunity in WCW, why he considers signing with WCW at 21 years old the worst thing that ever happened to his career, the years of self-doubt he went through following WCW that led to his disdain for the wrestling business, his relationship and friendship with AJ now, and having the itch to get back into the business at age 41.
