As originally reported on WNW Premium, there continues to be a significant amount of backstage heat on Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, The Motor City Machineguns. The heat is the reason for their push being completely derailed in TNA. Things started to go south for the Machineguns when they refused to blade during their match with Jay Lethal against Team 3D and Johnny Devine at Against All Odds back in February. As as result the match was booked to feature Jay Lethal with Shelley and Sabin being given background roles in the bout.
Another reason for heat on Sabin and Shelley is that they are said to care way too much about what people write and say about them on the Internet. One source told me that they are obsessed with what is wrote about them and they worry more about that than they do about the well-being of the company.
Apparently Sabin and Shelley are too of the most disliked people in the TNA locker room.
Richard Reacts: Shelley and Sabin are good in-ring workers but the rumors of heat do not surprise me. When we had them in the media conference call a couple of months ago I could tell that they lacked interpersonal skills and were not very likable. Despite being over, the Machineguns have been turned into the job squad and that does not look to be changing anytime soon.
