Announced on a last night’s vignette, The Motor City Machine Guns are scheduled to feature in the upcoming WWE SmackDown episode. This piece of news stirred excitement amongst the fans and the wrestling fraternity alike.
On the recent episode of “1 Of A Kind” podcast, WWE superstar, Rob Van Dam shared his thoughts on the signing of the Motor City Machine Guns with WWE.
Below are some key takeaways from the podcast:
The Motor City Machine Guns joining WWE: “I’m a fan of those guys. It strikes me that they were always ahead of their generation. They brought a novel approach to tag team wrestling, innovating existing moves and overall strategy. When I used to watch them at Impact Wrestling, their performance gave me a glimpse of the future wrestling style.
“Being fellow Michiganders, we have always shared a good bond. I admire these kids for their hard work and determination. They have always given their best in anticipation of their due recognition. It might be early for their accolades, but it’s certainly time for their opportunity. I’m happy that their efforts are finally paying off.”
Shift in WWE match layouts: “During my stint at SmackDown, I got the essence of their focus on simplicity. They believed in meaningful actions that drove the storyline forward. The audience could anticipate moments for cheers and appreciated it. The whole atmosphere was vibrant and constructive. I perceived this while witnessing the tag match featuring Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.”
