Love how the crowd was chanting "New Champ" when Josh's son grabbed the belt. Would be crazy to go back to this video maybe 20 years from now.

Josh Alexander will go down as one of the best IMPACT World Champion in history. He is without a doubt the heart and soul of IMPACT Wrestling.
"A Broken Neck didn't stop you, this won't!" Dang man. Josh Alexander has some diehard fans. Heartwarming, especially since it is true.
Dude when his son grabbed the belt that hurt me man. He didn't want his dad to relinquish the belt.

Congratulations to Josh Alexander, in proving himself to be the best World's Champion during a period of wrestling history rife with great champions in different promotions.
This segment is one of the best segments I have seen in a very long time just so many emotions in this seeing Jett grab the title off Josh was something😢
Even with injured world champion, IMPACT continue doing something it always done. The best wrestling.
Heartbreaking moment. One of the greatest title reign of the lastest years. Thank you Josh Alexander.

I've been watching wrestling regularly since mid-2015. This is possibly one of the finest World Title reigns I ever witnessed, across any promotion I followed. Seeing it end like this is heartbreaking.
Josh is one of the greatest World Champions of this generation. Simply one of the best. Proof that hard work and dedication can truly pay off. A real inspiration. A true professional in and out of the ring. Can tell a great story and make a great match. Brings out the best of everyone he is in the ring with. Thank you, Josh.

It's wrestling, not an episode of Dr. Phil. The wife and kid shouldn't have been out there in the first place. Not the time or the place. I get that Josh Alexander is a family man, but they were in the way and the sympathy they were intended to generate just made it awkward. And no, championship belts don't go to kids of former champions as gifts. That's just ridiculous.

Well Josh Alexander will return while his surgery has recovered and he will come back for that impact world champion and start over the Alexander Era
Oh wow. The crowd actually looks so much better now.
Josh is so underrated it's criminal ❤
The evolution of Steve Maclin since his WWE days is astonishing to Say the least. I think he wins the title
Jett is adorable 🥰

josh alexander the best champion the impact has had in decades
Wow this was incredible af 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Of all the ways to have a thumbnail put on this video, why did it have to be his son on that title for his father to not give away?!😭
Happy Easter ! 💚
JOSH ALEXANDER MUCH RESPECT.................
Kusida was in WWE some years ago.
You heard 'em, Steve. You... tapped... out
josh alexander will be back

Tell me KUSHIDA doesn't look like former New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

That dude will be missed... seriously. Man brought legitimacy to the title. I dont care who wins the title noone will top Alexander
Josh Alexander vs Chad Gable ... 😮

When and how did injury occur ?
So how long will be out for? Can he make it for forbidden door in Canada?

So if all elite wrestling mixing the max into the ring, how does impact wrestling manage to do similar with fewer possibilities? does it still have to be canadian to move on an altered level? when a mid-sized rock results in a big impact?
A third member of Time Machine is our next Impact World Champion
I’m gonna miss Josh But this world title match will start one of these two regins Love Kushida but don’t overlook Maclan is a gritty as they get That tree of woe spear I actually created it in WWE No Mercy but to see it in real life is cool to see
Bring back 6 sided ring for sure

Honestly im normally critical of Impact, typically because i think their production lacks, i think they could infuse more money into it etc but i always watch from afar because they do have a ton of talent. This was pure gold, there was a lot of reality involved but what a segment and attention grabber. Great job all involved, and hate to see Alexander relinquish the strap.
