Alex Shelley Reveals Surreal Experience of Winning the IMPACT World Championship
Alex Shelley, the new IMPACT World Champion, expressed his disbelief and exhilaration after his victory over Steve Maclin at IMPACT Against All Odds.
Shelley described the win as a surreal experience, akin to a lucid dream, and admitted that the reality of his achievement hadn’t fully sunk in yet. Despite the physical toll of the match, Shelley felt in control and believed that he was destined for this moment. He also acknowledged the collective effort behind his success, stating that his journey of two decades in the wrestling industry has taught him that no one achieves greatness alone.
“It really hasn’t sunk in,” Shelley said. “I’m still so revved up. My adrenals are just pumping. I’m just like a big ball of stress right now, but that’s fight or flight for you. It did feel surreal. As soon as there was a three count and I pinned him, it felt surreal. It’s a very lucid, waking dream. kind of sublime, like standing at the edge of a building and like looking over like, ‘I don’t know if I should be here right now.’ My back hurts. Everything hurts. My heart don’t hurt. My brain doesn’t hurt, and as soon as that bell rang, it was autopilot. It’s what I was meant to be doing. Effortlessness, time slowing down, felt like I was in complete control, even when I wasn’t. I was always not just one step ahead, but ten steps. I think the end result speaks for itself.”
Now, as the IMPACT World Champion, Shelley is determined to prove his worthiness of the title.
