Over in the TNA section, there's a thread discussing Alex Shelley. I've read some reports that say his contract is expiring and he's just moving on and I've read some that say he asked for his release. Shelley is someone that, while talented both inside the ring & on the mic, has hardly been used by TNA for well over a year.
Just in case some aren't familiar with Shelley, he comprised one half of the Motor City Machineguns with Chris Sabin and were among the best tag teams in TNA history. Along with Beer Money and a handful of others, the Guns are one of the teams that helped keep tag team wrestling at all relevant here in the United States. Their feud with Beer Money for the TNA World Tag Team Championship in a best of five series resulted in one of the top feuds TNA has had in several years. The Guns eventually won the tag titles and some could argue that they're the last team to have a great run with the tag titles since TNA's tag team scene started to dwindle not long afterward. Shelley is also a former X Division Champion with several big title wins in Japanese companies both as a tag team and singles wrestler.
Mark Madden posted on Twitter:
"Good luck to Alex Shelley, WWE-bound. A real talent. Let's c if he's used rite. Shame 2c MCMGs break up. Best tag team in U.S."
Now, whether Madden has spoken to Shelley or those close to him or someone at the WWE offices or if he's just speculating that Shelley is WWE bound, I don't know. But, it's an intriguing thought.
Shelley isn't a big guy, he's probably in the same range as Daniel Bryan & CM Punk as far as size goes. He's a young guy, turns 29 years old tomorrow, but has been in wrestling for about 11 years now.
If Shelley does come to WWE, it'd be a boon for them in my view. Shelley brings a lot of energy to things, can cut solid promos and has some legit charisma to him.
So let the "WWE won't use him right" talk begin.
