WWE Could Renew CM Punk's Contract Without His Permission
Posted by Joseph Lee on 06.13.2014

There's precedent...

WWE may be able to renew CM Punk's contract with or without his permission. There is a clause in every wrestler's contract that allows the WWE to renew a deal if the wrestler has been injured and the company believes they are owed dates the wrestler was unable to work. If there are any dates left on Punk's contract that he had yet to work, the same would apply here.

There is precedent now as Vince McMahon renewed Rey Mysterio's contract when it was close to expiring. Rey Mysterio missed most of last year because of several injuries.

If WWE renews the deal, it allows them to keep CM Punk from working for another company. The problem is that they would have to keep paying him as long as he's under contract. His current deal is set to expire in July.

Why would they? Unless I'm missing something, I thought Punk was done with wrestling. Not just WWE but wrestling itself. Was he looking at a another company? If he was, it would have to be R.O.H. because I don't see Punk lowering himself to TNA. Besides, I said it a few months back and I'll say it again, if Punk is done, let me be done. He was at a Blackhawk games a little while back and he looked healthier than he had in years. Punk had been wrestling for months through nagging injuries. Walking out may have hurt some fans, but he seems happy with his decision and his health definitely improved within months of walking out. And he seems to have pocketed enough cash to live a happy normal life. If he is happy, then I wouldn't mind never seeing him in a ring again.

I think ROH is what they fear. I don't think Punk would mind having the freedom to work a few shows, have his say in creativity, and not have to put his body through so much stress. But I doubt they pay him to sit on the couch. Vince will let him go, praying that he'll come back like Brock and Batista.

Being the most predictable thing, it's the most likely thing.
WWE doesn't do the "babyface in peril" part well enough and TNA over-does, particularly when Russo is involved.

Depending on his personal relationship with Vince, that's probably what's going to happen. As long as they don't bury him or do some fuckery like renewing his contract against his will, he'll probably be back on a part time basis like Rock and Brock.


Speaking of Punk

CM PUNK-AJ LEE UPDATE
by Dave Scherer @ 12:07 PM on 6/14/2014


We have heard from a lot of people asking if CM Punk and AJ Lee were married yesterday afternoon. From what I was told, they weren't at that time but they did get married either last night or early this morning. We wish them all of the best in their new marriage.

We didn't acknowledge it because we were told it was a small, private affair and they wanted privacy. I hope everyone gives it to them.

Young will face the winners of the following matches:

*Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Lashley.

WWE Legend Pat Patterson
I'M GAY

061314-pat-patterson-launch-7.jpg

WWE legend Pat Patterson just revealed that he's been living in the closet for the past 50 years -- and has finally decided to go public about that fact he's a gay man.

The 73-year-old dropped the news on the finale of WWE Network's "Legends' House" ... saying, "For once in my life I'm going to be me now."

Patterson -- who's a WWE exec -- explained that he's been keeping the secret out of the public eye for 5 decades ... and had a partner for roughly 40 years, but he passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Patterson has been Vince McMahon's right hand man for decades ... he also was the company's first Intercontinental champion and helped create the "Royal Rumble."

The whole thing was incredibly emotional ... and the reaction from Pat's fellow wrestling legends was touching -- with the guys telling him, "We love you Pat ... we always love you."
 

Is WWE fishing for media hits right now?
You can't hide in the closet if the closet door is wide open and we all see you standing in it. I thought everybody already knew about Pat.

They had some typical "WTF?" shit but they also had some good shit so I hope you went.
Watching that and the Joker's Wild 2 One Night Only ppv and it just looks like TNA is TNA's worst enemy. If they would get out of their own way, they could have a consistently killer product.

HARDY BOYZ REUNITING IN TNA
by Mike Johnson @ 4:32 PM on 6/16/2014

Matt Hardy has been booked for the Impact tapings in NYC later this month, TNA announced this afternoon. The promotion is already pushing that Hardy and his brother Jeff will reunite their team. The Hardy Boyz vs. Bram and Magnus seems to be a likely storyline. It would appear that Jeff's Willow persona will be fading away, at least for now.
The reunion will put the duo back together on national TV for the first time since August 2011, when Matt last worked for the company. At that time, he was in the midst of now-resolved personal and legal problems.

As previously noted on PWInsider, TNA has also reached out to a number of former X-Division stars about working the tapings. The company is trying to load the tapings up since they are in such a major market as well as the home base of Spike, which broadcasts Impact Wrestling.


They're trying to stack those NYC shows. First the Great Muta and now the Hardys reunite.
Man, I hope Matt's lost some weight. He was looking fat as fuck when he worked earlier this year in Winston Salem.

I think her ass is fatter now.....how old are them pics?

And Upgrade, how was the TNA show? I didn't get to go. I wish I would've known earlier....I kept seeing Kerry Von Erich and all these other people around the city doing interviews but I didn't know what it was for. Would've loved to have seen it live.

It was pretty good. Big spotfest to open with the ladder match and two good wrestling matches with Aries/King and the main event. The VE boys were green but it was just seeing them and the crowd response to them and their dad that made that whole thing.
If they were doing the promo work, they missed something somewhere that a hardcore fan like you didn't know what they were talking about. TNA usually puts up some billboards when they hit the Charlotte market so that might have been helpful.
Still, it's been estimated they did close to 4000 and that's a good house.

TNA just posted the following on ImpactWrestling.com:

THIS Friday, a winner will be announced and we will begin using the ring at next week’s IMPACT tapings at the Manhattan Center in New York City (June 25, 26, 27).

This is not a one-off event. The future of IMPACT Wrestling’s ring is in your hands. Which ring do you want to see?

I voted for a 6 sided ring, but I do find the fact that TNA is letting fans vote on this to be a little disturbing.
Seem like a serious decision that management should be making based on their plans for the future and not a gimmicky thing that you let fan vote on .... imho :dunno:

John Gaburick has already said they were bringing it back. I think this is something to make fans feel "involved" in the decision making.
I voted for the standard ring. If they can make it safer, then they should bring back the 6 sided ring but if they can't, they should leave it as/is.


I got the Network and it's been a pretty good deal so far with only a couple glitches.
So I watched Seth Rollins' promo from last night's Main Event and he needs to get it together quick or his push is dead. Bad mic performances have killed a lot of guys (Matt Hardy, Big E come to mind immediately).

Neither had hhh in their corner tho, Randy orton can't cut a promo for shit but he's a main eventer, neither could Jeff hardy.

Let Rollins heel turn simmer for a while then turn him back and watch the fans go ape shit

Orton's not bad on the mic and Jeff was never champ longer than a couple months at a time.

He shouldn't turn back for at least two years. Switching back and forth too fast kills heat (see, Miz, The).


Oh shit, TNA should do that show every week. Bring back Dreamer full time and let him and Bully book.
Based on last night and the spoilers, they're going in the right direction going into NYC.

While WWE has jobbed out nearly all the Black guys to Rusev in a couple months, TNA just made Lashley the champ.

I've always been of the mind that Orton isn't bad on the mic .... as along as he is a mostly silent heel. It's only when he is a face and/or trying to carry a comedic promo that his lack of mic skill shine through.
