Jessie Godderz Comments On Dixie Carter’s OVW Appearance, Credits Al Snow For Making It Happen
Jessie Godderz comments on Dixie Carter’s OVW appearance.
Many fans in the world of wrestling were shocked when Carter made a surprise appearance on a recent episode of Ohio Valley Wrestling television. Carter, who is the former president of TNA, has largely been out of the wrestling scene since 2017, when Anthem Sports & Entertainment purchased a majority stake in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling.
In a new interview with Bill Pritchard Of WrestleZone, Jessie Godderz, who was involved in the segment, commented on Carter’s appearance in the company and gave Al Snow credit for making it happen.
“I love Dixie, she gave me a shot. She gave me a huge opportunity herself. You try to stick around the people that you like first and foremost. In relationships, business, and stuff like that, you keep around individuals that are like minded or have your best interests in mind because they’re far and few between. Dixie is one of those individuals. To see her, and like you said, whether it’s the rub, whether it’s helping OVW, whether it’s helping the promotion of wrestling, all of that kind of came to fruition because of Al Snow. It was definitely by design if I had to guess, and it was awesome. It was awesome that she was a part of it and I can’t thank her enough because like you said, it kind of sent a shockwave and a burst of instantaneous recognition through OVW once again.”
When Pritchard brought up the fact that EC3 probably had something to with Carter’s cameo, Godderz noted that he isn’t a big fan of the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
“True, true. He is a Carter, he is a Carter, I’ll give him that. I don’t really like him too much, I feel like he’s trying to be — I’m the Ken doll of OVW. I feel like he’s trying to swoop in somehow and act like he’s the Adonis, like I’ve literally been called the Adonis my whole life. I can’t give him too much props, but he probably had a little to do with it if I had to guess.”
