Former WWE star Charlie Haas took to his twitter account last night after Sheamus squashed Daniel Bryan on Raw, writing the following:
“WWE creative is a joke. Way to kill off Daniel Bryan. Your brightest youngest star. Michael Hayes must have written this sh**. Please retire.”
Responding to a fan who took him to task, Haas wrote,”Don’t be a mark. They all have a say in the writing. Hayes is the most powerful of them all. He can change anything on any show.”
Haas then posted the following:
“There is great talent in WWE, they just don’t know how or refuse to write for them all. When the Monday night wars were going on, everyone on the roster had a story line. From Crash Holly to Stone Cold. Its an easy formula. Look at ROH everyone on the roster has a story line and is used. Not to be biased, but facts are facts. Every wrestler is unique and brings something to the table, that is what is great about the pro wrestling business.”
Later, Haas made it clear he wasn’t being bitter and was happy where he is in his life, noting he was about to go tour for All Japan, AWR in France and hoped to return to ROH before the end of the year, writing, “I’m not done. But am done talking about WWE creative. New chapter. A lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for WWE time and the WWE fans.”

DGUSA News
Dragon Gate USA issued a press release on Tuesday to announce that CIMA and Genki Horiguchi will face the team of YAMATO and Akira Tozawa at the Oct. 29 event in Fall River, Mass. The event will be broadcast live as an online pay-per-view at GoFightLive.TV.
Dragon Gate USA booker Gabe Sapolsky was asked in an interview with the Tomb of the Opinionated blog whether he had any interest in becoming a pro wrestler. “That’s a good question,” Sapolsky responded. “No I never had any aspiration to wrestle. While most kids were cutting promos in a mirror and dreaming of wrestling, I was fantasy booking. It was the side of wrestling I always wanted to do. I did train with JT Smith for a day just to see what it was like and ended up with a concussion! I threw up everywhere. That was it for me.”
Sapolsky was also asked whether he has any desire to become an on-air character. “No, never,” he said. “I always wanted to be a behind-the-scenes guy. I never wanted to be talent. It was the booking side that always fascinated me.” To read the full interview, visit TombOfTheOpinionated.wordpress.com. Great interview that also covers Sapolsky commenting on how a letter to Tod Gordon launched his pro wrestling career, and the role he played in ECW while learning from booker Paul Heyman.
