Gabe Sapolsky Calls Friday’s DGUSA iPPV “Very Personal”

October 27, 2010

Dragon Gate USA co-founder Gabe Sapolsky, who was also the co-founder and booker for Ring of Honor for 7 years, has posted a blog on The Heyman Hustle about this Friday night’s live Internet Pay Per View from Fall River, Massachusetts.

Sapolsky writes:

"Tomorrow night (October 29, 2010), Dragon Gate USA will present "Bushido: Code of the Warrior" on on live iPPV through www.GoFightLive.tv. Live internet pay-per-view is a new frontier for independent wrestling. It is our greatest hope in the face of a dwindling DVD market and increased online pirating.

I’m approaching it with a big, giant chip on my shoulder.

So is the entire DGUSA roster.

Not to sound like a movie slogan, but this show is very personal for me. It is personal for all of us at DGUSA. The reasons, mind you, are simple.

I co-created Ring Of Honor and fought battles for that company for almost seven years. When the time came to show my skills with the HDnet TV show, the opportunity was taken away from me. When TNA talent approached Dixie Carter about giving me an opportunity, those in creative shot it down without even an interview. Now I have a chance to show the world what I can do with a live broadcast for the first time. I want to show them all what they missed out on. Then you look at the talent on the show. They all have just as much motivation, if not more, to show the naysayers as I do."
