Is Alex Shelley signed to ROH long-term? If not, I don't understand why either AEW or NXT haven't gone after him already. He's so great.

That's not the most exciting tourney ever, for me.  Too many NXT UK teams.  Kind of shows how denuded the tag division is right now though.

Incidentally, the Awards show they  broadcast yesterday was terrible.  I had no idea who the two male presenters were but fucking hell they were shit.  The big fella in the shorts with the quiff might be the worst WWE backstage talent I've ever seen.

Sam Roberts and Pat McAfee. Roberts’ podcast is perfectly fine, but I’ve never quite understood why WWE like him so much.

McAfee played in the NFL for 8 years, retired in 2017 and started punditry for Football, he's a huge WWE fan as well so has managed to get himself onto their backstage team as well. I can see Vince getting a kick out of an 8 year NFL veteran choosing wrestling over football post-career.

Pat is doing loads these days. A daily radio show, a podcast, WWE, College Gameday, ESPN Get Up, Thursday Night College Football and the XFL once that launches as well. Guy is a machine.

He pays them to be on their shows. Or at least used to.

But... Why would they do that? Surely he wouldn't be paying them enough that it'd make much difference to their bottom line.

Made up with the Alex Shelley announcement. I’ve not seen much of his ROH stuff but hopefully he can still go and this leads to a full-time gig. Always been a favourite.

Really enjoyed the main event this week. All four guys looked decent and the right man went over.

Crazy how legit and important the womens division seems compared to AEW the same night.
