Gabe Sapolsky Gone from ROH

http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=1999

Ring of Honor has announced that Gabe Sapolsky has left his position as head booker of the company. Sapolsky who was booking the company since the beginning in 2002 was generally regarded as one of the best bookers in wrestler. There is a feeling that his work has dropped in 2008, and that he was burned out. It is said that the average booker has a lifespan of 6 years before they are out of ideas.

While ROH could have probably used Gabe for several more year, there is a feeling that they want to grow. While competetant, Sapolsky would have never expanded ROH's fanbase more than he has already. There is something to be said for taking a step back to take a step forward. The WWE has established stars such as John Cena, Triple H, and the Undertaker, but until they have a new guy come in and prove that he is better than them, the fans will not take notice.

Gabewas a great booker but there is no doubt that this creates interest in ROH and what Sapolsky does next.
