John Morrison vs. Simon Gotch booked for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 8
John Morrison will make his Bloodsport debut as he takes on Simon Gotch at GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 8.
The event takes place Thursday, March 31, as part of The Collective during WrestleMania Week. Morrison will compete under his real name (John Hennigan).
On Sunday, Gotch posted an eerie video online requesting a match with Hennigan, seen below.
“So I suppose this should be directed at Josh Barnett, Game Changer Wrestling, and Brett Lauderdale. I would like to offer my services to settle the debate of what John is going to be called inside that ring because I don’t think it’s going to be Johnny Bloodsport. I don’t think it’s going to be Johnny Game Changer, I don’t think it’s going to be John Hennigan. You give me the match and I promise, he’s going to be Johnny F***ing Morgue.”
