Went with Backlund because of the quality of his first title reign, second was a joke a one night but the first one makes up for it.

I wanted to go with Backlund for his first reign... but I had to go with AJ. AJ was more than just a TNA champion... AJ defined TNA. AJ represents TNA better than any wrestler there. AJ Styles IS TNA. And when he was champion it was always something special, always something to watch. He just seemed better when he was champion or going for the title. Its a shame that he's not champion now.

None of Styles title reigns compare with Backlund's first. So, I'll go with Mr. Backlund on this. If Styles ever wins the WWE title maybe I would change my mind.

You just simply cannot fuck with a 5 year title reign not to mention beating one of the most influential names in wrestling to win it.

As I wrestler I think I much prefer AJ, but Backland's reigns or at least the first one was more credible.

I found AJ Styles way more entertaining and better than Backlund's... Styles has my vote.
