Gabe Sapolsky, vice-president of Dragon Gate USA, owner of Evolve, and former head booker of Ring of Honor, was recently interviewed on Figure Four Daily, a podcast dedicated to pro-wrestling and MMA news, and said that the only way these companies will survive is if a new technology, Internet Pay-Per-View, becomes viable...More?

Vince Mails Bysiewicz, Reporters WWE Swag
Several reporters covering the U.S. Senate race this morning received a surprise – a box of World Wrestling Entertainment merchandise compliments of company head Vince McMahon, husband of Republican candidate Linda McMahon.
