Nice to see a lot more happening on Smackdown this week than last week, even when one of the things happening was once again Roman and Jimmy getting laid out because they have no other allies. Gotta keep that build slow with War Games more than a month away. Nice to see the Machine Guns thrown into the thick of things, even though it was in a match I knew they would win where they spent most of it on defense. After the the last few years, I didn’t think WWE was in the cards for Alex Shelley because he’s been so focused on his career and education in physical therapy and sports nutrition, but I’m very happy he’s still making it as a wrestler, and that he and Chris Sabin have reached their biggest stage. Heck, Xavier Woods pursued a lot of education in psychology, so it just shows what wrestlers can do with intelligence and drive.
Personal story, I finally got to meet Shelley & Sabin before and ROH TV taping in December 2017. I was set to take a selfie with them, when a man walked by and offered to take proper photos of the three of us with my phone. That polite man that did me the photo favor? Joe Koff. Rest in Peace to him and my condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
I’ve been saying this, from when he had to miss a TNA/IMPACT P.P.V because of his pursuit for further education (and IMPACT probably not paying him enough) to signing with the biggest wrestling company in the World? Oh yes, “ALEX SHELLEY BOUT TO GET P A I D!”
It was a nice touch to see that online video of Aldis with the Machine Guns as they signed their SmackDown contracts. Three former IMPACT World Champions in a WWE segment?
