Alex Shelley is finally hitting his peak as a singles wrestler in professional wrestling. His tag team skills have been known for many years as one half of the Motor City Machine Guns with Chris Sabin, and with KUSHIDA as the Timesplitters.
However, he would win the Impact Wrestling World Championship recently, something many fans felt was long overdue. Despite this, he remains a tag team wrestler at heart – and has some key matches he’d love to have in the future.
Alex Shelley Misses Wrestling The Young Bucks
While appearing on the Battleground podcast, Shelley would be asked about if he intends to keep active in tag team wrestling as well, and had the following response.
“Anytime I can be in a TimeSplitters match, or Machine Guns match or a Time Machine match that’s, that’s a treat. But with the schedule as it is right now and IMPACT kind of spreading its wings and branching out because we have the UK tour coming up, and I think there’s going to be more international shows coming forth in the next year. It’s just a matter of finding the time to do it. I miss wrestling Nick & Matt Jackson so much.
“I miss wrestling The Young Bucks. They’re my favorite tag team to wrestle. The Bucks at one point, I remember 2016, I think, they called me their best opponent. I was really taken by that, but I think it’s true. Our chemistry, it was just awesome.”
FTR & The Hardys Are Dream Tag Team Matches For Shelley
Shelley would go on to name FTR & The Hardys as other major tag team matches he hopes to have when the time is right.
“The Machine Guns were supposed to wrestle Matt & Jeff once, that didn’t happen. I think actually, I broke my collarbone. That was the reason there, and then back a few months later, it was like they were gone. FTR, of course, I’d love to wrestle those guys, just because Jim Cornette helped basically finesse The Machine Guns or kind of finish us off, and I think they’d probably appreciate a lot of the things we learned from him. So there are so many great teams out there. Yeah, just a matter of finding the time to do it.”
Shelley is in action tonight at Impact x NJPW Multiverse Madness, where he will wrestle Hiroshi Tanahashi with the Impact Wrestling World Championship on the line.
