While I have to give them flack for coming down on a Megaman boss named “Toad Man” when they’re guilty of cavorting with someone who goes by “Curry Man,” TNA’s Motorcity Machine Guns provided us with an excellent assessment of Megaman’s most sucktastic bosses. Wrestlers aren’t known for pulling punches (oh wait, yes they are) and Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin do not mince words with Bright Man or Wood Man.

This week the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) catch us up on their in ring status in the TNA Tag Team division and their love of disc golf.

Ladies and Germs, I present to you, your new number one contenders to the TNA tag team championship belts: The Motor City Machine Guns!

Yes, after a hard fought battle, after being beat up, spit on, chopped, and thrown around, Alex and myself over came the odds and fought our way using speed, athleticism, and wit to defeat the tools that are Beer Money, and also the much larger tools that are Team 3D at Sacrifice two Sundays ago. The MCMGs are next in line, and it’s time. The both of us have worked very hard to create the position that we are in, and inside I know we deserve it. But the battle has just begun.

This is a position that we have been in several times before, as number one contenders. And winning the TNA tag team championship belts have slipped through our fingers every single time. We have fought hard and valiantly in the past, gotten to the very edge, one step needed to cross into that land, one count away from achieving the coveted tag team gold, the very last step to proving what we know with our every breath – that we are the very best tag team in the world – and when it comes to tag team wrestling, no one can touch us, not Team 3D, not Beer Money, and not the two men who currently are in possession of the tag team gold, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

Hall and Nash are the best, and they need no profiling from me. They are two legends that have done everything and drew a lot of money along the way. Not only are they two of the men I respect most in the Pro Wrestling business, but they are also two of the smartest. This is not only a chance to prove that Alex and myself are the best tag team today, but this is most importantly a chance to learn from the best.

Learning is knowledge, and knowledge is power. But knowledge without action is powerless.

Due to Kurt Angle vacating his number two spot, everyone moved up a spot and TNA booked an eight man X Division battle royal to determine a new number ten.

5. Kazarian defeated Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Max Buck, Jeremy Buck, Amazing Red, Homicide, and Brian Kendrick in a battle royal to determine a new number ten in the rankings in 2:50.

Today the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) take a look at what they do in their free time away from the TNA Wrestling ring.

It’s been an enjoyable week off, BBQs, video games, relaxing, hanging out with friends and best of all The High Crusade finally got together after a long absence to practice.

The High Crusade is a rock and roll group based out of southeast Michigan consisting of:

Alex Shelley – Lead singer and fellow Motor City Machine Gun with myself.

Petey Williams – Rhythm Guitarist and fellow pro wrestler who fans will always remember as the man with “The Canadian Destroyer.”

Adam Tatro – Amazing drummer for THC and all around amazing musician. We grew up together and as much as I committed my life to pro wrestling, he committed his to music.

Chris Plum – Lead Guitar and another amazing musician. He and Adam have another band called Idol and the Whip, which are definitely worth checking out.

And myself on bass guitar. We have been working our asses off for the last several months putting an album together and all the hard work, long nights, and free studio time has paid off.

Yes, free studio time. We are fortunate enough that Adam owns and operates his own music studio: Mainstay Audio Recording located in Whitmore Lake, Michigan. Being able to have unlimited studio time is such a huge advantage for any kind of band. We have been able to smooth out any edges and make the music the very best it can be, without the burden of having to pay for more and more studio time.

The album is so close to being released, and all of us are very excited. All five of us have a shared common vision of rock and roll conditioned by different backgrounds, so we all add a little different flavor to the THC stew, with influences from bands like The Stooges, MC5, and Led Zeppelin. And it doesn’t hurt that Adam and Chris are amazingly talented musicians, either.

Watch for our debut album very soon, around late Spring/early Summer, and if you get a chance to see us live, come say hello. We are looking to play more live shows, but with the Pro Wrestling schedule, it’s not easy.

Until next time, Rock and Roll.
