One of the biggest reasons he stayed is the strong bond he’s formed with tag team partner John Skyler.
“A lot went into where I was gonna re-sign when my contract came up. John Skyler and I, we’ve really formed a solid brotherhood. I can confidently say he’s probably one of my best friends I’ve ever made in the business, let alone outside of it. I talk to him about very personal things—he probably knows me better than anybody in the locker room, as it probably should be with a tag partner.”
“He made the decision to re-sign with TNA practically for me and my family. We both feel like we still have a lot to offer as a tag team. But I’m also really enjoying where this Order Four thing is going. Being able to sit alongside Mustafa Ali—I really think he’s one of the brightest minds in the business. I just try to be a sponge the whole time. I still have a lot to learn. Every day’s a school day.”
He believes TNA is giving him the right tools and support to succeed, “TNA is putting me in the best possible position to succeed. And anyone who sets you up for success is worth trusting and keeping your future in their hands.”
Jason Hotch reveals how his tag team with John Skyler was form
“When we first met, we heard the week before that we were gonna be thrown together,” he said. “He didn’t know who Jason Hotch was. I wasn’t too familiar with John Skyler, I’d heard the name. We were in North Carolina at WrestleCade and he was like, ‘Hey, I think we’re gonna be a tag team.’ And I was like, ‘Wait—you’re John Skyler?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah—you’re Jason Hotch?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah.’”
“So it was just one of those things,” he laughed. “I think us being paired together wasn’t supposed to be long-term. But the best thing about us is that we’re interchangeable—we could be in any spot on the show. And I think it really started to sink in that we were doing something special as we kept going loop after loop, seeing reactions grow city to city. We still haven’t even scratched the surface of what we can do.”
