Okay, let’s talk about something I spent a bit of time on recently – just watching some old stuff featuring Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin.
Getting Back into It
So, I found myself with some downtime, you know how it goes. Flipping through stuff online, and I landed on some old wrestling clips. It got me thinking about tag teams, specifically the ones that really clicked. The Motor City Machine Guns, Shelley and Sabin, popped into my head. I remember watching them years ago and being pretty impressed, but I never really sat down to just watch them, if that makes sense. So, I decided, why not? Let’s dedicate a few evenings to just checking out their matches again.
The Watching Process
Didn’t get too scientific about it. No spreadsheets or deep analysis, haha. I basically just searched for their matches – mostly from their TNA/Impact days, ’cause that’s what I remembered most clearly. Pulled up whatever I could find easily, probably watched about five or six matches properly over a weekend. Just sat back with a drink and observed. Tried to focus on how they worked together, not just the big spots.
What I Noticed
Man, these guys were something else. Here’s what stood out to me just casually watching:
- Their timing was nuts. Seriously, sometimes it looked like they were moving as one person. The way they set each other up, the double-team moves, it was just incredibly smooth. You can tell they worked together a lot to get that good.
- It wasn’t just flashy stuff. Yeah, they could do the high-flying things, but it was the little things too. Quick tags, cutting off the ring, saving each other at the perfect moment. Smart wrestling, you know?
- Consistency over years. Thinking back, these two have been teaming on and off for ages. Seeing that kind of partnership, even with breaks, is pretty cool. They clearly had this chemistry that didn’t just vanish.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, that was my little project. Just revisiting some classic tag team work. It wasn’t about figuring out some big secret, more just appreciating the skill involved. Seeing two guys work together that well, making something really difficult look almost easy, it’s just good stuff to watch. Made me appreciate the craft of tag team wrestling a bit more. It was a good way to spend a few hours, reminded me of why I liked watching them in the first place. Solid stuff.
