Former TNA Wrestling star Alex Shelley spoke with Respect The Craft on a number of topics including “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
Shelley said, “I think Speedball’s just…I can’t put into words how highly I value him and how much respect I have for the guy. Being a part of REVOLVER is incredible in its own right, and the trust that’s been put in me to have all these title shots and carry these titles has been something that I don’t take lightly. It’s a very, very special company. It very much reminds me of this generation’s ECW in many ways. I think Speedball, pound for pound, might be the best out there right now that’s not in WWE or AEW. I just can’t put into words how hard he works and the sacrifices he’s made for pro wrestling. The fact that he’s just as skilled as he is and humble about it and open to learning more is just why he is what he is.”
On seeing Bailey perform live:
“He’s just the f**king best. If you haven’t seen him live, it’s a different ball game. So definitely come out to the show, definitely check it out.”
