- Pro Wrestling Guerilla announced that Alex Shelley had been pulled from tonight's PWG show due to an injury sustained at this week's Impact tapings. The Motor City Machine Guns were scheduled to compete for the PWG Tag Titles. Chris Sabin is still on the card, but will now compete in a singles match. Here's the new lineup:
* PWG champion Davey Richards vs. Chris Hero for the PWG Title.
* Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong.
* PWG tag champions El Generico & Paul London vs. Young Bucks (Generation Me in TNA) vs. Cutler Brothers in a three-way Guerrilla Warfare match for the PWG Tag Titles.
* Scott Lost vs. Scorpio Sky in Lost's retirement match.
* Chris Sabin vs. Akira Tozawa.
* Brandon Bonham vs. Brian Cage.
* Brandon Gatson & Johnny Goodtime & Candice LeRae vs. Malachi "CK" Jackson (brother of the Young Bucks) & Ryan Taylor & "Pretty" Peter Avalon in a six-person tag match.
Alex Shelley is one of the meanest, most arrogant people on the TNA roster. He's such a prick to fans.
Daytona Beach is a cool place to have a house show. At this time of the year, WWE could stage an open-air, outdoor show there.

Dammit. Sucks to hear Alex Shelley got injured. Last night MCMG tore it up with Beer Money though.

I met Alex Shelley at an AAW show in Berwyn and he was nice enough. Sure, I did just spend money on an autograph and a t-shirt so there's no way in hell he respected me but he wasn't a douche nozzle.

I hope Alex Shelley is ok. That best of 5 series is amazing so far.
