Former Ring of Honor booker discusses "The Wrestler" and ROH's role in the movie

Gabe Sapolsky offered his take on The Wrestler in his latest myspace blog:

"As an outsider to ROH now it wasn't easy to watch that final scene, so maybe I'm biased. When it comes to exposure ROH could not ask for more of it. The logo and website address are prominent, every wrestling fan will eventually see this movie and who knows where else clips of Rourke in a ROH ring will surface."

"However, is all exposure good exposure? Pro wrestling is never portrayed as cool or hip in the movie. It is presented as a sad, old subculture filled with human wastes and misfits that only share camaraderie with each other. Hey, maybe that is exactly what indy wrestling is, but I still love it. Well, most of it. Meanwhile, ROH isn't promoted as innovators with the next generation of stars that display an athletic, cutting-edge style... It is not exactly the type of thing mainstream fans or sponsors will flock to."...More?
