Word of Simon Gotch's release from WWE broke just after vWrestleMania, and now it looks like Gotch is officially a free agent after he needed to wait out a 90-day no-compete clause.
As my 90day non-compete has ended, I'm officially accepting bookings for shows, interviews, appearances and seminars.

WWE's official statement on the matter back in April was that the two parties agreed to mutual decision. According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer, Gotch — who has a history of incidents backstage — may have had another the day before he was officially released.
Per the Observer, Gotch caused a "scene" backstage in catering after apparently tripping over a chair at the April 4 episode of SmackDown Live.
Gotch had been in the "Vaudevillians" tag team with Aiden English for several years now, with the peak of the team coming in WWE's developmental NXT brand. The team had floundered on regular WWE television, though, with Gotch reportedly being involved in several backstage altercations.
