Gabe Sapolsky Breaks His Silence

The former RoH booker breaks his silence and comments on his departure from ROH…

- Former ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky has decided to make some comments since being dismissed from Ring of Honor last month. Here are some of the highlights…

On His Departure: "I've had a little over three weeks to reflect, think about things and get out of the ROH bubble. It's funny how you don't realize you are in the bubble until you are out of it. It is actually amazing the conclusions you come to and the things that become clear about yourself and business once you are removed from a situation. I've come to a lot of realizations in the last few weeks. First of all, while I won't admit that I agree with the decision to dismiss me, now that I've thought about things I certainly can't disagree with it. There are several reasons for this all relating to me and my behavoir, but that is for another time if I ever decide to even publicly talk about it."

On ROH owner Cary Silkin and ROH as a company: "Cary Silkin put a lot of faith and trust in me, more than I could ever hope or ask for. He deserves much more than a huge thank you from me, but it is all I can offer at this time. Cary is the man. I still have nothing but love for ROH and everyone there. It is full of hard-working, professional, intelligent people and the pro wrestling business needs what ROH offers. Most importantly, it is full of good people and that includes the entire office and the locker room. I am looking forward to seeing how the company grows and what direction it takes now. It is a fun time for ROH with everything so fresh and exciting."

On the ROH Driven PPV: "That said I just want to put over Kevin Steen, El Generico, Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black for the main event of the current PPV. This is one of my favorite matches in ROH history. It is now extra special for me because it meant that the final show I was involved with in Boston ended with a resounding bang. I saw Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger in that complex in 1989 and now was able to produce a great PPV from the same location. That is very special to me. Steen, Generico, Jacobs and Black deserve all the credit for putting together and executing what I believe is truly a perfect match. I have nothing to gain by plugging this. I'm not a shill for ROH anymore. I just want people to see it because these four deserve for it to be seen. Thanks guys for giving me that memory
too."



qualcuno è così gentile da tradurre la parte dove GAbe parla del suo addio

"Ho avuto poco più di tre settimane circa per riflettere, pensarci un po' su e uscire dalla "bolla" (ambiente, ma qui una sorta di "isola felice") della ROH. E' incredibile come si possa capire di essere dentro una "bolla" solo quando ne si è fuori. E' impressionante come si arrivi a certe conclusioni e alcune cose diventino estremamente chiare a proposito di sé e del (wrestling) business una volta che non se ne fa più parte. Nelle ultime settimane, mi sono diventate chiare tantissime cose. Prima di tutto, pensandoci molto, posso assolutamente capire la decisione di licenziarmi, sebbene non la condivida. Ci sono molte ragioni per tutto questo, inerenti a me e al mio comportamento, ma le spiegherò un'altra volta, se mai decidero di parlarne pubblicamente"
