My favorite wrestler
I realize that this will interest approximately NONE of you on my flist, but I would like to mention that Alex Shelley is one of my favorite wrestlers, ever. Depending on my mood, my number one favorite.
My friends IRL that watch wrestling never understand why. So I submit to you, whoever may actually be reading this, two pieces of evidence.
1) From Alex Shelley's official website, the Q&A section.
What made you get into wrestling?
Honestly, the whole reason I wanted to get into wrestling was because I wanted to be a superhero, one of the X-Men in particular. However, at the age of 11, I realized my chances of developing mutant powers weren't so good. Around this time, I saw Shawn Michaels for the first time as a babyface, and thought "Ho. Lee. Shitttttt." He was out there doing all sorts of flying moves and deep armdrags and moonsaults and planchas. That blew my mind. From there, I was made up. Wrestling was the way to go.
Let me make that clear. When he discovered the he wasn't going DEVELOP SUPERPOWERS, he dedicated his life to professional wrestling as a reasonable facsimile. That is AWESOME. Alex Shelley > Logic.
2) One of his moves is called the "Skullfuck". THE SKULLFUCK. He wraps his legs around his opponents shoulders, and with the back of their head resting against his crotch, proceeds to HUMP THEM INTO THE GROUND. He is moving his hips up and dow, effectively FUCKING THEIR HEAD INTO THE MAT. Homoerotic? Possibly. Awesome? Definitely.
Really, my only problem with Alex Shelley is that he is younger than me. Which makes me feel kind of strange to admire him - not that I don't, but it feels somehow... wrong.
