Just in time to build 10 new factions for Survivor Series. Seriously, is the industry talent pool that shallow? Where is the fresh blood? Lord. I’d kill to see the Vulture Squad reunite |

For what position?
I don't know anything about him outside of his original RoH booking... but he did have an eye for talent so if he's a new scout it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Rumor is as a writer. Gabe is a guy that as more came out.... the less I respect. Mentioned before but the way he used WWE's name to short wrestlers on pay was the last straw for me supporting him, but a lot has come out about how if he didn't like someone back in ROH he would badmiuth them to CM Punk who would then dress down that wrestler in front of the locker room |

As an old roh fan that stopped watching around 2010 and one that never got into evolve at all I guess I don't understand the backlash for Gabe and will just stand by my statement that new but understanding eyes could be a good thing.

CM Punk to return to the 'E confirmed! |

A move celebrated by countless Twitter accounts with no profile pics, user names that are all "Firstname_Bunchofnumbers" and near-identical posts about how they're totally not Gabe. I hear that two of them are Chris Lovey and Jimmy Bower. |

Lord. I’d kill to see the Vulture Squad reunite Hell, I'd kill to see Julius Smokes manage anyone right now. I could’ve sworn he was in NWA? Or GCW? One of those |

I loved Gabe's tenure in ROH, and seeing him talk about how ashamed he was about some of the less... politically correct angles in his early work was pretty cool. But I don't know what happened between then and DGUSA and Evolve. But whatever "it" he had, he lost. I guess he's one of those guys who works best under some kind of supervision and not running a company.
So, he's a CM Punk guy? CM Punk to return to the 'E confirmed! Makes perfect sense considering Gabe was a protege' of Paul Heyman during his time in ECW
He even learned how to not pay his wrestlers from Paul!

The never ending faction warfare crap, weird angles for guys like Hagadorn that went nowhere. I think he lost it late in the ROH run and then the only reason DGUSA was any good at first was because they were just supercards with red hot international talent. |

and lets be honest the familiarity Gabe has with the current crop of stars cannot be understated...Riddle, Theory, Gargano just to name a few not to mention a lot of AEWs roster (Darby, Swerve, etc) is likely to be a big catalyst to his signing

They used him not liking the HDNet TV show as a reason to dump him, but he was creatively tapped by the end. IIRC, he wanted NECRO BUTCHER to go over Nigel for the belt because he was in the Wrestler for 30 seconds. SOMEHOW ROH did worse and cooled Rollins off further by having a washed Jerry Lynn beat him lmao. Oh what fun times. And those early DGUSA shows were bangers. But you could tell instantly when ROH started to sign it's guys up that Gabe had no idea what to do. |

EDIT: Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if Corgan has a legitimate shot at being hired in some capacity by WWE? Sorry to hijack the thread. I'm sure Gabe is a relatively clean hand, and he has experience. I haven't seen much of his work after his departure from ROH. Just don't f***ing put him on commentary, dammit!!! Anyway,  |

More than anything he just refused to pull the trigger on guys when they were white hot. Like I'll never forgive him for not having Claudio dethrone Nigel. Those early DGUSA shows were absolutely incredible. Just unsustainable. |
