    Sunday, October 26, 2008

    Ring of Honor is announcing that Gabe Sapolsky will be leaving the company effective immediately. Everybody at ROH would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.

    Going forward Ring of Honor will be focusing on the stories and the talent in the ring. The company will have no further comments on this issue or a replacement for Mr. Sapolsky. We would like to thank all of the fans and media who have supported us over the years and look forward to bringing you more great wrestling excitement in the future.

    I think it's also to do with the fact he has been booking ROH solidly for 6 years now and could do with the break as ROH is being accused of being very stale at the moment. I think this is a huge move for Cary to make and I hope he doesn't come to regret it. I just hope they get someone with some experience to replace Gabe. Not sure who though!!

    Dave Meltzer is reporting that the new Ring of Honor is former NWA World Heavyweight champion Adam Pearce. Pearce replaces long time ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky, and is apart of a new direction for the Philadelphia based promotion.


    Ring of Honor Cary Silkin owner is looking to appeal to a new audience, and wants to move to creative direction to a more 1970's style of wrestling. Silkin felt that the current product didn't appeal to enough wrestling fans. The new direction will feature less high spots, more traditional wrestling, more simple heel vs. babyface booking, and less complexity. The DVD sales based business has started to loss money, and ROH will look to start cutting cost to save money.


    The new direction begins on 11/7 in Toronto.

    I think Pearce booking with help from veterans like Jerry Lynn and Lance Storm as well as Dave Prazak who books Shimmer and helped book IWA-MS could be very good for the company.
