When asked by a fan on Twitter why he remained with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling for as log as he did, Alex Shelley gave the following response:

This is actually an awesome question. I stayed with TNA from 2010-2012 because I was in college and paying my way through. It was income and I never took a student loan out. Also, additionally, Okada was one of my best friends and I wanted to make sure he was safe and sane.
