While Punk "never wants to wrestle again", the Million Dollar man had a point when he said everybody's got a price. If Punk's offered say 5 mil for a show, how could he say no? It'd make him a complete hypocrite (moreso than one could say he already is for the UFC grandstanding) so Destor would be disgusted, but it'd make him a rich hypocrite.

I personally think Punk would accept no less than 10 million dollars for an appearance, of which he is not even close to being worth. He's a big draw to neckbeards, but nobody else gives a flying fuck about him.

Punk is going to have to pay more in taxes now, so he'll probably take whatever payday he can get.

I'd rather see Punk go against AJ Styles or Jeff Hardy. I suppose there is time.
The stuff with Colt Cabana and him getting booed at Chicago means he can skip the New Japan/ROH "street cred" appearances. He can come back as a massive hypocrite and milk those easily played fans. It'd be a timing issue at this point. Does he want to come back on The Rock's card to wrestle Shane? Does he have film roles that he would rather milk first? |

Damn, Taka Michinoku is paying out the ass for that one. They must take that stuff pretty seriously in Japan.
It'll be interesting to see if TNA gets to keep their TV deal and whether or not anyone else will take them. |

But it seems they only get uptight about this sort of stuff if it involves Japanese people. They don't care about stuff like the Michael Elgin incident because they don't uphold gaijin to the same ethical standards. |

Yeah, part of the reason Taichi got so much hate for so long was because of a similar situation. It's considered very dishonorable.

How exactly would they "force" him to work without pay for a year though? That sounds an awful lot like slavery lol.

I think your quotation marks tell the story. I don't think it's them actually forcing him. I'm sure he could leave. I can imagine it being more of a mutual agreement in order to cleanse the palette.

If Kenny Omega is the best wrestler in the world and Young Bucks are the best tag team, it’s officially the worst wrestling timeline.

Pat McAfee is both 4th best and 7th worst announcer in wrestling. They are inherently stupid. And they’ve voted on by marks who don’t have a clue.

Do we REALLY need awards by a guy who gets paid by Tony Khan, and the voters are limited to the biggest Marks ever who actually give this guy $12 a month?
This shit is less important than the TPWW awards

How the fuck did Mox beat Buddy Rogers, let alone by HUNDREDS of votes? If you want evidence that Observer subscribers are not the best critical readers, there you go.
And this seems like a weird thing to pick out, but how is Happy Corbin anywhere near the worst gimmick? It’s the most enjoyable Corbin has ever been. Also, lol at TK being either the best promoter or best booker of the year. Vince McMahon delivered record profits for his company. Isn’t that the role of a promoter? |

If anyone here subs to any of the sheets please consider posting articles here. Or if you have access to a source that does post those paid articles feel free to use those or send me a link and I will. I miss having the sheets thread around.

No offense, but if anyone here pays Dave Meltzer $12 a month, you need to meet with a financial planner because you are making poor decisions with your money.

Those awards were shit.....but I am completely okay with The young Bucks and Penta/Fenix having match of the year in that steel cage match. It was definitely match of the year.

Tony Khan is promoter of the year again you guys. What is that, 3 years running? Eventually they will have to name the awards the Tony Khan Award for Excellence in Booking!
