Someone just call him out on being a racist, that's all it takes. I told you that bigot was a douche, now maybe people will listen to me. Unless you explain why/how he's a racist - that's liable.

How many luchadores have you seen booked for ROH since he took over? Luchadores that are in high demand, and aren't too pricey (Luchas are much cheaper than guys like KENTA last time I checked). Combine that with the fact that the only puerto rican guys that have been booked were there before he took over and would be stupid to take them off. Why haven't guys like B-Boi or Ruckus, or others who would be good for the product been booked?

Well the key word there is "thought", I don't know the guy personally, And thus you THOUGHT that.... . Yeah, so I don't see the big deal. I have seen him at shows and talking with fans so he did seem like a cool guy to me. I get the feeling you hate the guy very much, just calm down a bit, sheesh. As for JAPW being better than ROH, I guess that's a matter of opinion, they're ok, but I prefer ROH.

Unless you explain why/how he's a racist - that's liable. How many luchadores have you seen booked for ROH since he took over? He was booking it back when Super Crazy and Eddie Guerrero worked for the company. I'd also add that the top luchadores who'd draw are either difficult to schedule, and/or friends of Rob Feisntein (who handles the U. S. booking for a few of the top names, from what I've heard) - whome ROH smeared as persona-non-grata. then there's the economics: the Japanese talent has been a bigger draw for ROH. There are political relationships being formed with Dragon Gate and NOAH, like there were when Zero-ONE guys were appearing for the company (thanks to Seve Corino - a Feinstein pal). Then there are visa issues. As for Puerto Rican talent? Who the f@#k is the world champ right now, and arguably the company's MVP? Clearly you don't know what you're talking about and fabricating a lot of liableous crap based on your conspiracy theories. Slamming Gabe is one thing, but to make sh#t up: that's just bogus all around.

in regards to the luchadores Gabe has said numerous times hes simply does not like the style and doesn't feel they would fit in. I agree actually i have tried to watch some AAA on my spanish language channel and it's quite boring they spent more times coming to the ring then wrestling. Also the ROH fan base tends to be a lot of tape traders and puro fans. I would sooner take a lesser known Dragon Gate guy then the top lucha star thats just me.

I don't think ROH should become a full-blown Lucha company, but the occasional Luchadore once in awhile would be cool.
As for the message board: Eh, it's his place.

To everyone this concerns: Stay the hell away from my message board and don't you dare question my decisions on my message board. The members there who have defended are devoted followers and are the greatest target audience of my product. If you disagree with their opinions, then I will gladly allow them to rip you apart. Keep your trolling and whining away from our boards. RJMC is better than all of you, plain and simple. You trolls say that my warriors are on my dick, perhaps you need to get the ones out of your mouths. Thank you. ROHGabe Argument refuted.

Lol, I was watching the Punk/Joe shoot that everyone seems to have in their avatars, but they talked about how Gabe sometimes has a temper. If he wrote that, who cares. He was pissed off. He just has a temper.

He just has a temper. You try being a booker. You'll get a temper (or worse one) to. And that guy completly made that up. Gabe never signs off as rohgabe. Its always Gabe. And RJMC was banned for posting false (but funny) results during on of the shows in December.

People talk about Vince McMahon being a dick, well, he has to be a dick or people will take over his company. Paul Heyman lied so much because he wanted to keep everyone happy. All promoters/bookers tend to be cut from the same mold (which is probably the biggest reason in my opinion Heyman and McMahon didn't end up getting along, because they're so much alike).

You have to be a dick and a liar just to get people to agree to your card and who wins and who looses. But my real point was, Gabe didnt write that.

Gabe Hates Lucha Libre, yet most of his wrestlers have a lucha high impact style or the Lucha Submission style tid bits.
I have always hated gabe sapolsky and this just adds to it.
The man is a human penguin people, the first time i saw him in that Forever Hardcore DVD i could never watch ROH DVD's again

I know, well, I know now after reading through everything and what not. I just wanted to make that point because it was on my mind.

The Puro style just goes better with his product. And you hate him because hes fat?

The one thing that made me be annoyed by Gabe, well, there's a few things. In his shoots, he tries to get a former WWE talent to bury the writing team (which Mick Foley caught and called him on it), and this one time Al Snow was talking about real fights and how you could make someone scream in a headlock, and Gabe at first didn't believe him, and Al Snow just had this shocked look on his face, and said "you don't think that if I put somebody in a headlock, I could make them scream". f***, if Al Snow said that to me, I'd believe him, you don't studder and pretty much come off as if Snow might not be able to do that.

eh,I've seen some WC mods have similar tyrades.
And if you guys are all like "well, its reasons like this that I don't want to watch ROH", well have fun not watching any wrestling, as every booker does it.
