AR Fox is out of the WWN

[Stopspot]

The big sites (Observer, Pwinsider) have reported on this. Apparently AR Fox is no longer connected to Gabe Sapolsky, Evolve and the WWN at large.

Fox's side of the story:

Just sayin. This is the cards for next weeks EVOLVE shows. It’s 9 days away and not one match announced on this card. And since there’s a huge lack of communication checking the “DGUSA” website is how I know if I’m booked or not. So when there was about two weeks left I booked myself. And now they wanna take it personally that I was making sure I lined up booking so I didn’t have an empty weekend without even tryin to understand. Cause honestly my loyalty was to them of if we just talked like “adults” for a few mins I woulda ended up doin EVOLVE anyway cause that’s how I am. But instead I got responses in all caps with cusses. And tryin to future endeavor me like the WWE. Tellin me they wish me the best and hope to see me on Lucha Underground when a few months back they held me back from it when Lucha sent me details on a contract ha. And yea I didn’t like they flights they got me cause they were to the wrong f**kin state of course I didn’t like having my girl drive me an hour and a half to the airport and then pick me from there which means we’d hit tolls 4xs when they coulda just flew my from CT (like every other promoter that flies me) where the airport is 30 mins away from me with no tolls. So yea man they just made this shit into a storyline but this is what it is. Flights wouldnt of been an issue I still drive 15 hrs to shows. It was jus that our relation is goin on 5 years. I jus want everyone to Know I’m cool n jus wanna wrestle but they got sensitive way too quick over a booking.

Gabe's side of the story:

I am very disappointed to read Fox’s statement. He has been a very valuable member of our roster and I’ve enjoyed working with him through the years. We’ve had some great times together on the road.

I am very disheartened to read this but I must clarify a few things:

Fox confirmed the April 17th and 18th dates via text with me on March 17th. I contacted him on Facebook messenger on Monday to go over his matches for Florida. He then informed he had taken another booking on April 18th.

Without getting into great detail on the conversation, I treated Fox with the respect he deserved after everything we had been through together. He claimed that I “cussed” him”. I said the F word once in the context of saying, “This is F’d up.”

Fox also claims I used all caps, implying I was yelling at him. The only word in capital is the word “Never” in the context that we never canceled a booking on him.

I am very disappointed and sorry that our relationship has ended this way and wish Fox the greatest of success.

As much as I dislike Fox, sucks for him to be out of a steady job, and sucks for Gabe to lose one of the guys he has used as a cornerstone for the last 2 years

So, Gabe Sapolsky?

Hopefully LUG picks Fox and puts a mask on that ugly mug. It seems to be working for Strickland. Call him El Zorro Celestial.

 

[Pop Tatari]

Fucking good

 

[Prince Bálor]

Ahh, shame.

Gotta agree with Bort, doe. I'd have zero problem with him working for LUG.

 

[Leo C]

Too bad they had a falling out.

The reign of black h8 continues on this site. Seeing him as a Panther dressed like a Tiger to face a guy as a Puma dressed like a Leopard wouldn't hurt, but he was one of the best draws on the WWN roster, imo. Sad.

That's a good point, actually. Had never thought about it, pumas don't really have spots, do they?

How do you figure out that AR Fox is a draw?

You understand what a draw is, right?

Historically speaking Fox being or not being on the show hasn't been a factor in how big a crowd for Evolve is.

I'm guessing since he had the title for nearly a year. If he wasn't doing his job by drawing fans, he wouldn't have been a champion for so long. Also, I put an 'imo'.

Nope. They have tan fur.

The evolve title was secondary during Fox's reign. Gargano and the open the freedom gate was the main ticket draw at the time.

He was champion for so long because Gabe thought he was cool and he likes to try and build talent up. But Fox is a failed experiment
