“Sexy BJ Ray” came to the defense of AJ Styles’ son, Avery

To give you a quick recap, Avery, the son of WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles, was called out by wrestler Arik Cannon for not setting up the ring or helping with the ring setup before a GCW event. Styles responded by saying that Avery’s job wasn’t to set up the ring and called Arik Cannon jealous. Naturally, this led to a lot of criticism heading Cannon’s way.

Former WWE superstar AJ Francis fka Top Dolla said that while he participated in assembling the ring in his NXT days, he was never told to do so and has never done so on the independent scene, and nobody has ever told him anything about it.

An unlikely name came to AJ Styles’ son, Avery’s, defense. It was former WWE star Sexy BJ Ray. If you haven’t heard that name, that’s alright, because he didn’t make it too far. However, he gave what many felt was a reasonable take. For those who can’t access the tweet above, this is what he said:

“The problem is the pro-wrestling industry is full of insecure children. It’s definitely a weird industry, where nerds that got picked on can “build a bear workshop” themselves and pretend they are something they are not. This whole “pay your dues” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m professional, hire me for a job, I do my job. It’s just a bunch of insecure weirdos who want to feel better about their suffering and struggles so they want people to have to do it to. Just a childish way of thinking”

This highlights the change in ways in the “old school” wrestling mentality, as a wrestler calling out a youngster for not fulfilling vague duties would have been frowned upon back in the day.

However, things are changing in the industry, and many are welcoming such changes with a positive response.
