A.J. Styles
Allen Jones (born June 2, 1978), better known by his ring name A.J. Styles is an American professional wrestler currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is the reigning TNA Television Champion in his second reign. He, James Storm, Jeff Jarrett and Abyss (who wrestled under the name Justice) are the only wrestlers to perform on the inaugural NWA-TNA pay-per-view event on June 19, 2002, and still be employed by the company in a wrestling role today. Since he joined TNA, Styles has been the first TNA X Division Champion while also having the most reigns with six, a five-time World Tag Team Champion (4 NWA and 1 TNA) and a four-time World Heavyweight Champion (3 NWA and 1 TNA). With having won the TNA X Division, NWA World Tag Team, and NWA World Heavyweight Championships, Styles was the first to complete the TNA Triple Crown Championship. Styles would later complete the Triple Crown three more times, making him the only man to complete it more than once and for most of TNA's existence the only one to complete it at all. His victory over Booker T for the TNA Legends Championship made him the first, and only, man to have ever won the TNA Grand Slam Championship, which he has done twice. He is also the longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion in the company's history. In 2010 he became the first TNA wrestler currently under contract to rank in at #1 on Pro Wrestling Illustrated annual PWI 500 list.

Awesome live performance I'm guessing from 1978, but not for sure. Ann and Nancy Wilson wrote this about Mike Fisher, who was Heart's original guitarist (he eventually stopped performing and became their sound man). He and Ann were dating.

Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap 1978 There was a... lot of rocking going on that night, Cruising time for the young bright lights, Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door, The five lamp boys were coming on strong. The Saturday night city beat had already started The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight" Billy dont like it living here in this town He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors" And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores. There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks" It's a rat trap Billy but you're already caught But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down. Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored You don't know what it is but there's got to be more You'd better find a way out, hey kick down the door It's a rat trap and you've been caught In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do" In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules." You walk up to those traffic lights, Switch from your left to right You push in that button, and when that button comes alight It tells you "Walk don't walk, Talk don't talk <b>...</b>
