Not going to link to the tweets because there's some bad language, but they're on the BookItGabe Twitter account. David Starr has made several allegations about Sapolsky, including not paying certain talent on shows and having unsafe rings, and now Sapolsky is calling Starr's "We The Independent" movement a fraud, calling him a scumbag, claiming Starr had a social media scandal with a female fan, and that Starr doesn't care about wrestlers pay and welfare, only about himself and keeping himself in the headlines. He also claims the reason Starr moved to the UK was because he failed tryouts with WWE, Impact and ROH. This isn't going to end well for anybody. UPDATE: Gabe's now deleted the tweets, but there's a summary at this link: www.fightful.com/wrestling/david-starr-calls-gabe-sapolsky-out-low-pay-sapolsky-responds |

I mean, if I were WWE, I'd probably tell my partner promotion's booker to not go on Twitter tirades against someone who doesn't work for us and has views that would affect our bottom like (wrestler healthcare and the like) because that'd only bring attention to those views as well as make you look thin skinned...
but they did nothing about an employee going after another employee and causing him to have an emotional breakdown so I guess they approve of this too?

I immediately trust someone less if their first defense is that the other person is a hypocrite. It's an easy go-to counterattack to put the other person on defense while dodging the substance of the attack.
If the guy moved to where the work was, he is...like just about anyone who ever lived.
And every first hand account of Gabe I know of paints a pretty unflattering picture of a raging jerk that people put up with if they happened to have leverage over him.

Funnily enough, the whole "He couldn't get into WWE/ROH etc" stuff was a part of the Devlin/Starr feud in OTT by Devlin in the pre-match promo.
So...I'm going to say that's not quite true/overexaggerated for a work?

David Starr: I haven't been able to get into places like WWE or ROH because of my beliefs.
Gabe: THIS BUM COULDN'T EVEN MAKE THE BIG LEAGUES!

I'd give Gabe the benefit of doubt if he wasn't a petulant child about this. If he just explained his process instead of needless insults he'd come off 100x better. Not shocked considering he is a giant baby.

Also, Gabe's actual response to Starr saying he doesn't pay lower level guys to wrestle is "Big whoop, wanna fight about it?"

Gabe is taking the Seth Rollins award of making someone who’s annoying on twitter look like gold.
Dude. Shut the hell up and pay your workers.

He's now deleted the tweets, but they were up there long enough for people to cap them no doubt.

Yeah, he lives in London now, his partner is English. Good on him. Nice that a lot of wrestlers from overseas are seeing the scene in the UK as good enough that they can come over here and live full time ala Charli Evans and Aussie Open. It's good that at least NXT: UK gutting the BritWres scene hasn't deterred indy wrestlers from actually living in England. |
