I always saw Shelley as more of a technical wrestler myself. Plus,he can cut a promo. I think if hes allowed to be himself and talk,he could be someone wwe would like. Nevertheless he's too small and creative for them. He's that in tna too. He can't be any less used in wwe than he is in tna. It's probably the best call that can be made at this point. I mean it's about all he has left to do.

This could be great or horrible news depending on what happens now. I'd love to see him in WWE, or even somewhere else, but I'd be a little heartbroken if he's quitting wrestling to focus on his band or something like that.

I'm also wondering what this means for Chris Sabin, I really hope he doesnt get (even more) lost in the shuffle now, without Shelley there.

Since I believe that the "WWE Cruiserweight Show" is the Chinese Democracy of Sports-Entertainment and believe I'll see the next Mortal Kombat movie before that show.... Alex Shelley's going to be a breath of fresh air for ROH when the time comes. Hey, Chinese Democracy actually did come out! And it was pretty damn good! I can't see much to be upset about. TNA has barely put this guy on TV since 2010 with Beer Money, they bring him in for one ppv match and then he's back him on the bench (this also happened with Austin Aries). If you're a fan of him, why wouldn't you want him to go somewhere else and get a fresh start? The tastemakers of TNA are obviously not high on him.

So Alex Shelly's name is too close to Alex Reilly's so what would his name be in WWE?

Well, with Austin Aries getting way too big for the X-Division, Sabin could be the X-Division's top babyface.

When I talked with him in September, he was so happy that someone was talking to him about his PWG and New Japan stuff other than his TNA stuff. I got the feeling the guy wasn't liking it there.

This is how I feel, he's a great wrestler and it'll be a shame not seeing him on telly anymore if he goes that route.

It's still a better success rate than tna really. Even if they bury him,it wont be any worse than what he endured in tna. He had to put on a chickensuit and went sometimes months without being on tv. So Alex Shelly's name is too close to Alex Reilly's so what would his name be in WWE? Here are my bets 1.Alan Shecker 2.Shelley Alan 3.Alex Starfish 4.Al Shindig I vote for 4.

To be fair they have Ghost Rider as World Champion now, and outside of Christian and Ziggler every other week I can't think of many tan mentalists on that roster... [Nigel McGuinness]Things have changed in the 'E and if Shelley does go there it may bode well for him, as others have said it may not but you have to buy the ticket to take the ride, you'll never know otherwise.

Does WWE have a history of taking TNA talent and pushing them? I don't think Shelley is going to be pushed any harder in WWE than he was in TNA (especially in 2010 when the Guns were presented as tag team Gods).
If he goes to the WWE for more money, then I don't blame him, but if he expects to be treated any better from an on-screen standpoint, I'd probably advise him not to expect it. They don't give a damn about the tag team division, and smaller guys who have years of experience with the WWE fanbase get treated as fodder. If Shelley carves out an Evan Bourne role in WWE he should count his blessings.

Hootin Andy? Thats sounds like more of a job for a warrior. Though to be fair I don't really know if at this point low ki can do more jobs.

I hope he goes to WWE. all his potential was just being wasted in TNA. It's like you have never watched a WWE show in your life. They're not big on high flyers. Kofi Kingston (Tag Champion - for whatever that's worth these days) Rey Mysterio (mutli time everything champion) Chris Jericho (started out as a high-flying cruiserweight) Christian (current IC champ) Its not that they're not big on high flyers, its that there not big on wrestlers they can't market because they're ONLY high flyers. Shelley's got charisma, mic skills and can run very entertaining without any high flying moves.
