WWE continues to scout indie talents at various events across the country.
We noted before how WWE Consultant Gabe Sapolsky had been scouting wrestlers at indie events in recent months, including Prestige Wrestling and DEFY Wrestling. In an update, Sapolsky continues to scout events as he was recently at a West Coast Pro Wrestling event.
“Yeah so it’s crazy I heard that WWE is totally back on the hunt for top indie talent. Word is Gabe Sapolsky was scouting talent at West Coast Pro wrestling recently. A lot of indie and Lucha talent with eyes on them,” wrote Righteous Reg on Twitter.
On a related note, Sapolsky’s Independent Wrestling Industry Twitter Spaces events have a been a big hit with indie wrestlers and others as of late. The weekly events have been held on Wednesdays, but are returning to Sundays for a few weeks. Sapolsky tweeted on the online events today.
