This week on Impact (Feb 15. 2024), Gotch explained his motivation for the heinous ambush. The former Vaudevillain was a guest on Alan Angels’ talk show, Sound Check.
Gotch pointed to a moment in history five years ago when Alexander was awarded an Impact contract after an indie match in Destiny Wrestling. The Walking Weapon went on to have a fairy tale journey to win the world championship. Gotch took umbrage with how his name has been erased from that story. He was Alexander’s opponent for that match that wowed Scott D’Amore. Gotch was the one that pushed Alexander to the limit, and he received no credit for it. Even worse, Gotch wasn’t given any opportunity with Impact. That’s why Gotch has a bone to pick with Alexander. He wants a rematch, if Alexander is man enough.
