Jimmy House Says Gabe Sapolsky Helped Open the Door to WWE

Jimmy House says Gabe Sapolsky played a role in getting him into WWE after a series of contacts with the company and a recent tryout.

House told Fightful he attended a WWE tryout in January and then joined the WWE ID program in March. He said his path to that opportunity stretched back about four years, a period he linked to earning his black belt, and that he had been in contact with WWE for years before the tryout.

In the interview, House credited Sapolsky with "opening the door" to WWE for him and described the January tryout as an important step following that longer period of development and communication.

This account is based on House's interview with Fightful, which is the original source for his comments.
