Shawn Dean: The Current Iteration Of Shane Taylor Promotions Is The Most Complete Version

The Infantry is loving their stint with Shane Taylor Promotions.

Since joining forces with the Taylor-led faction in late 2024, The Infantry has been quite successful, facing off against top teams like Paragon, Top Flight, The Sons Of Texas, and the Dark Order.

The duo of Carlie Bravo and Shawn Dean have been even more successful in trios action, as they currently hold the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championships with Shane Taylor.

Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp for a new interview, Carlie Bravo spoke about the group’s current run.

“Yeah, it’s been fantastic. It’s been eye opening. We’ve got the best Pure wrestler on the planet Earth right now in our group in Lee Moriarty, also longest running Pure Champion of all time. Anthony Ogogo, hands of steel, Olympic medalist. Trisha Dora, one of the best technical wrestlers on God’s green Earth. Shane Taylor, knockout capability, 20 year veteran in the game, and then you got me and Cap, it’s been a fit. We fit like a puzzle. It’s absolutely been perfect. We come as advertised, which matches everybody else’s speed. Everybody else in that group comes as advertised. So it’s been a match made in heaven, really, if you really think about it. It’s exactly what we needed, to be real.”

Shawn Dean followed that up being say that the current integration of STP is the most complete version of the group.

“If you look at the Shane Taylor Promotion members from the past, I think this version is the most complete. Like Carlie said, all the puzzle pieces are there, and that’s not to take away from those past members. It was more of a powerhouse and a big, just powerhouse crew. Now you got everything across the board. So this incarnation of the Shane Taylor Promotion is just on a different level. We got everything covered. So there’s really no holes in our game and we prove it. We prove it every time we go out there, every time we step through that curtain. Whether it’s first match, last match, we doing our thing. We gonna show everybody who we say we are.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Shawn Dean invited MJF to get revenge on him for their matches in 2021/2022. Fans can heck out his full comments here.
