Gabe Sapolsky on the Importance of Wrestlers Needing to Make an Emotional Connection With Fans

– During a recent interview with Wrestling With Honor, ROH co-founder and WWE creative team member Gabe Sapolsky discussed his thoughts on wrestling in 2022 and beyond and the importance of wrestlers needing to make an emotional connection with the fans. Below are some highlights:

Gabe Sapolsky on how he sees wrestling in 2022 and beyond: “That is an interesting question. I feel we have seen so much great athleticism and breath taking moves that they don’t have the same effect on fans that they used to. I still feel these elements are important. However, now it is especially important to connect emotionally with the fans. The fans need to feel good about supporting you. I can’t emphasize that enough They need a connection to a wrestler. There’s so many tools to do this now that we didn’t used to have. I believe the wrestling industry will be very healthy moving forward with the demand for live TV. I just believe wrestlers, especially on the indies, need to build that personal and emotional connection to be successful. I am very excited about where Triple H takes WWE creative. I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

On his current role in WWE: “I love my current job with WWE so I will continue to be the best I can at it and available for whatever comes up in the future. love the independents and the wrestlers on the independents and will try to help however I can.”
