Alex was sure that those last words that he put out for the world to hear would get some more attention to what was a pretty standard press conference. The last time he was at something this big was the “final” match of the Motor City Machine Guns as a team right as Chris had declared that he was going to “travel the world” but forgot to mention that his long-time tag team partner was not going to be coming along for the ride. That last match Alex and Chris had against each other left scars on the both of them that would never heal. Now he was standing in front of a cluster of press in a place that he never thought he would be, next to Chris Sabin.
Alex noticed that a smirk appeared across the face of Steve Borden. When he got the call from Borden about re-forming the Machine Guns Alex honestly thought it was a pretty bad joke. Why would a guy like the Icon reach out to somebody like Alex? It had been years since Shelley was on the big stage and had all but hung up his boots for a quiet life working in Detroit. At least he could still get fired up about a match.
Chris stepped forward and looked over to Alex before offering up his response.
CHRIS SABIN: Now that is the old Alex Shelley I used to fight next to. A lot of these guys in this battle royale are going to stand up in front of a camera and tell all of you out there why they are the best. Well I have proven that night in and night out for YEARS. What have these other guys done? No disrespect to you of course, Alex.
Of course there was a little disrespect from Chris. He was the one that decided to go out on his own and win a ton of singles titles. Everybody forgot real fast that it was Alex that saw the potential in Chris and suggested that they team up. Not only was Alex determined to win the battle royale he was also determined to do it in style. Shelley looked over to Chris and raised his hands.
ALEX SHELLEY Oh none taken, Chris. I know you’ve got a lot of pressure on your shoulders being a big time singles star and whatnot. Me? I have always been the tag team specialist so when I win this thing it is going to be even more of a shock to the roster. I have never won a singles title before and if I am going to be back full time then I am going to be the first WLCW World Champion.
Alex had a few singles runs when Chris was injured and even worked his way up to a world title shot at one point but he fell short. He knew it would be tough to win the match but he also knew that he had a big chance with Sabin and the Icon in his corner to make this run the best of his career.
CHRIS SABIN: All in huh? I can respect that. I can make a promise to everybody out there. Alex and I will be the last guys in that ring but after that all bets are off. I will be gracious and give you the last word, partner.
Alex turned toward Chris and the two looked like they were going to square up for a brief moment. Instead they raise up their arms and form guns with their hands. Slowly lowering the “guns” Alex looks to the cameras.
ALEX SHELLEY The last word? I guess the WLCW better take cover because all I hear is the thunder coming. Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, future WLCW champions no doubt about it.
The press conference ends and the Icon walks up to both men.
STEVE BORDEN Now was that good or was that GOOD?!?!
Alex shrugged his shoulders and slipped his hands in his pockets.
ALEX SHELLEY Ask us when one of us has won the battle royale because nobody is going to stop us this time. Not even each other.
Chris looked towards the Icon and briefly nodded.
CHRIS SABIN: I did say would have the last word, Steve. Now what’s next?
Even though the Motor City Machine Guns are back together there are still a lot of things and a lot of tension between Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. Brought back together by Steve “The Icon” Borden there is no reason why the Guns cannot conquer the world of wrestling one more time.
