Gabe Sapolsky is a free agent and while not closing the door on professional wrestling, he is not pursuing any opportunities.
On Wednesday, Sapolsky posted on Instagram that his no-compete clause has expired after being one of many cuts by WWE over the past year.
During the last 3 months something I never thought possible happened. I found interests outside of pro wrestling that I am very passionate about. As a result, I am committing myself to these newfound opportunities and not pursuing any jobs in wrestling. The key word is “pursuing.” I will still listen.
Sapolsky, who got his start in the industry working for ECW until it went out of business in 2001, was part of the team that launched Ring of Honor one year later. Sapolsky served as the head booker for the promotion earning numerous accolades for his work during those years until he was let go in October 2008.
After running Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE, Sapolsky joined WWE where he became a creative consultant at NXT. He was released this past January.
In his post, Sapolsky said he would listen to offers that came his way but outlined the following parameters:
I am open to:
-Occasionally holding Twitter Spaces or group Zoom calls with indie wrestlers to give some of my knowledge for free if someone organizes it.
-1-on-1 consulting wrestlers, promoters, creative people for $100 per hour. I will put my heart and soul in this and give you thorough, honest and constructive feedback/lessons.
-In person seminar for $1000 or more plus trans/hotel.
-Starting an indie promotion with at least $1 million dollars in the bank at my disposal to back it.I am not interested in doing any podcasts for free, writing a book or giving up any secrets and dirt. I will continue to post backstage pics from my career on my IG and share some of the lessons I’ve learned. Maybe I’ll tell some stories.
