Spritenaut 32 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 LOl, it's usually a question of when - not if - pro wrestling becomes a dumpster fire. Should I have a clue who Josh Gavin is? 'Cause I don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm guessing he's a WWN guy that had a falling out with Gabe. Given Bix's fervor, I'm also wondering what his axe to grind with Gabe is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ah, this is not good. Seems like Gabe learned a lot more from Heyman than just booking philosophies. He's always come off like a guy that needs somebody to run the business side of things so he can focus on the wrestling side, much like his mentor. The annual subscription to Floslam sounds like it'll be completely useless after this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am going to assume this will include Saturday as well So if you really wanted to see that Cedric Alexander vs Fred Yehi or Cedric vs Sabre Jr matches (which I sure as hell do) then sucks to people not in Chicago or Detroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now even if he is telling the truth Evolve can play the "disgruntled ex employee" card to discredit the story. Just sit back and shut up because living is the best revenge.

I don't know how much longer I have with the annual subscription, but I think I'll be done with it once it runs out. This legal mess had little to do with it, I just don't have the time to watch all the goodness they put on there. It's a shame as I really should check out more WWN, but then again I need to check out much more NJPW and CMLL. Sometimes there's only so much time one has to watch all this.

RIPPA Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 FloSlam announced that they aren't going to carry ANY WWN events anymore Thus... negating any reason to have a subscription They claimed they would offer refunds but when people asked they said no.

And ho-lee shit did this escalate quickly. I'd love to get some kind of refund but considering mine runs out in a month or two it's not worth it for me. But I feel for those who signed up recently and it's all for nothing. I'm hoping this causes WWN to finally do an in-house streaming service which they should have done all this time.

Jiji Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 They have the Scenic City Invitational but other than that, there's not much there that interests me. This whole situation fucking sucks. Gabe retweeted an article by Mike Johnson at PWInsider (credible source?), in which Johnson suggests Gabe is trying to work something out with WWE. Also, I was told that Gabe's been helping out with NXT booking lately. Hmmmmm. Quote Hell, if WWN wants to get out from under this deal and go work with WWE (which, at least in the case of Gabe Sapolsky, looks to be the case), all of this could be in their best interest. We won't know for sure until all this works it's [sic] way through the court system. Full article edit: @NikoBaltimore there are only five Nova events up there and the latest one is from last summer.

Not sure if he's helping with the booking or not, but he's there backstage with Triple H and Jim Smallman from PROGRESS is in the background. Also Jim Smallman and Glen Joseph from PROGRESS appeared slightly in an NXT segment some weeks ago where Ruby Riot approached William Regal at the Performance Center requesting a match with the Iconic Duo.

RIPPA Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Today in comical excuses WWN is claiming that the host company they were using right before the FloSlam deal went out of business and deleted all the info so they have no way of knowing the true data numbers Which more than one person has pointed out is ridiculous.
