CM Punk Update

Punk sent out a tweet on Saturday that had some fans believe he was retiring soon. According to Mike Johnson from PWInsider.com, no one in the company is under the belief that Punk is retiring. His contract is set to expire at some point in the Summer of 2014, as Punk signed a three-year extension in 2011.

    "The bald-headed [Saturn] caused shockwaves when he left WCW for WWE alongside Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero as part of a famous defection."

    Oh, come on!

    I think Punk has enough money that he'd be content with a Legends contract. I think he'd take one more run on top in order to put over some up and comer at the end of a story and then go the Jericho route.


    Six months of touring, Six months off to heal. Easy, breezy.

    Remember reading Meltzer (or keller, I forget who I was subscribed to at the time) and they were saying that the wwe actually saw Saturn as the guy with the most potential drawing ability out of all of them.

    I honestly think he will stick around until he gets to close out a 'Mania, or it becomes evident he will never get to... I think I remember reading that is the only thing he has left that he wants to accomplish.

  17. OfficerFarvaDecember 30, 2013 at 8:11 AM

    Haven't heard those. My inclination is to say no. Logic: if Lesnar/Batista is really a thing, it'd make more sense to have Batista debut then bring back Lesnar tto set up their feud. If Lesnar returns first, he's kinda directionless until Batista comes back, hence you're just wasting an appearance

    Because "because he didn't say hi to Droz," "Undertaker thought he couldn't work," and a zillion honest references to WWF/E booking are less interesting reads.

    Or you just have the fun random instances of Brock killing dudes until Batista comes back to say, "hey, knock it off."

    Davey Boy main-evented multiple PPVs and was a huge draw in his own country. I'm not saying that makes him a megastar, but for someone who was so good-hearted (yet naive and at times limited,) I'd say he carved out an excellent career for himself.

    Fair play to them really. Would you want to associate yourself with Benoit if you didn't have to?

  24. jdg9December 30, 2013 at 8:28 AM

    Saturn did have a certain 'it' factor. He was decent in the ring (if not quite as good as the other Radicalz) and looked good. He was still a little small by WWE standards, and of course his career was never the same after beating the crap out of that jobber.


    I remember early on in Goldberg's streak, as part of the build leading up to him winning the U.S. title from Raven - there was a RAW (or Thunder) where Goldberg plowed his way through the Flock and then had a stare-down with Saturn. The crowd just went nuts.

    No idea, but I would totally get it. It's not like Benoit's a beloved friend who crossed the wrong guy and ended up excommunicated and erased from hostory.

    If one of my best friends killed his wife and kid before hanging himself, I'd kind of erase him from my life and memories as best I could.

    Agreed. You see Davey Boy pop up on these lists every now and then. The Bulldog had a better career than 99% of those who ever laced up the boots. Not having a world title reign--especially in his time--does not mean "unsuccessful."

    Punk has sold a shit ton of merch and seems like he's a very conservative spender. On an espn podcast right after the pipebomb, he was asked if he was set for life. He said he didn't like talking about it, but yes, he was set for life. I don't think he needs the money at this point, so I don't see him doing any long runs unless he wants to.

    Yeah, apparently he has lived in the same apartment this whole time and on his "little" DVD when he talked about the bus he bought to travel in he really seemed like he felt guilty about it... so I am guessing he is very thrifty and could find enough other interests to give him steady cash flow so that he wouldn't have to wrestle if he didn't want to... but he probably doesn't have Cena/Rock( wrestling)/Austin money.

    I always thought the Rooster could have actually been something. But he seemed so embarrassed by the gimmick. If he had just shaved his head and had an actual big red mohawk and started making cock puns (In as safe a way as you can, "The ladies call me the cock of the walk for a reason" or something similar) I really do believe he would have gotten over. (I have never convinced another living soul of this but I stand by my theory.)

    Yeah I see what they're saying but I wouldn't say that was the nail in the coffin for Barrett, they've done way stupider things with him. But I'm also of the belief that Barrett is quite boring in-ring so I'm cool with his under-utilisation.

    I don't think Jericho and Edge are wrong for thinking it was a bad finish (even if Cena selling the injury for a near count out loss, getting back in, and barely kicking out, would've been excellent), but it's weird that they're acting like Barrett wasn't still pushing to the top of the card after SS.

    Granted since then he's fallen, but for a while he was one of the WWE's top heels.

    He may well have pushed for something different and the Authority was like, no...do it this way. Hard to say, though Jericho seems pretty ok with putting new guys over.


    Admittedly if you're a guy like Jericho and they ask you, "Hey, do us a favor and put this guy over." And you say, "Sure. I'd love to help out this new guy." And after you do that, they just treat him like a joke who jobs in two seconds, you'd get upset.


    I forget the timeline on the Jericho thing with Fandango, but didn't he put him over big in one of their fights? Was it just 50/50 booking?

    Actually, the Blog of Doom seems to have the more level headed posters. Wrestlezone can get a bit tedious and weird. Same with virtually every other wrestling news site I go to.

    Oh, I agree that the Blog seems the most level-headed. I've been coming here for about 5-6 years now and, despite some turnover with posters, Scott runs a great site with (mostly) intelligent discussion and fun commentary.

    And that's how you do it. Start buying apartment buildings. It's usually pretty steady income. Invest at Merrill Lynch in some diversified accounts. If he had 2 million dollars at Merrill and the apartment buildings he could easily be bringing in 300,000 per year from dividends and rent alone. That doesn't include Merch and WWE income.


    It takes a chunk of money to get started, but once you have money, it's incredibly easy to keep making more from it.

    The only good thing about 411 is Sforcina's Ask411 column. He does a great job with it every week, and it's really the most consistently-good column they do (outside of some of the video game columns, like 4-Player Co-Op). Other than that, though, I will check out LOP for Smackdown spoilers, since I never watch the show.

    He did fine in Japan. I've never understood why people think that a little Japanese guy who can't speak English (or maybe he can, for all know Shinzaki can speak perfect English) was ever going to go anywhere in 1995 WWF. In hindsight he should have gone to WCW, where he probably would have had a bunch of **** matches with all the cruiser guys.
