CM Punk offered 1 Million Dollars To Wrestle Again
 
5 Star Wrestling founder Daniel Hinkles has put out an offer to CM Punk to join their mega tournament tour ( 128 wrestlers over 30 weeks) :

"We've been trying to contact CM Punk on and off for well over a year. We wanted him on the first show we did in Edinburgh in 2015. I've tried going through friends in the industry, I've gone through his website and sent dozens of emails but the opportunity has never been this big. We want to offer CM Punk $1 million dollars (£770,000) to come and join the 5 Star Wrestling tour starting June 10. It's a genuine offer. We'd love to hear back from the man himself. We want to do this with him."

Do they know what a contract means?

RP 05-18-2017 04:09 PM

He's busy trying to win The Challenge.

:lol:

Swiss Ultimate 05-18-2017 04:26 PM

Sounds legit.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-18-2017 04:53 PM

Would a million cover his breach of UFC contract?

Maluco 05-18-2017 04:59 PM

I am sure UFC would release him from his contract of he wanted out. He is a terrible fighter and the reality is probably setting in that to fight again would risk embarrassment and that the UFC doesn't appear to be keen anyway .

I don't think he would ever get the money from this deal, but I doubt there is any question that he could walk if he wanted to

JimmyMess 05-18-2017 05:49 PM

Punk vs. Jason Ellis

DAMN iNATOR 05-18-2017 06:50 PM

:lol::lol::lol:HAHAHA a million. Why would he take that when he could probably command $2-$5M for a year somewhere else that won't insult him with an offer?

Who is going to pay that exactly? $1 mil for 30 weeks is bonkers.

Swiss Ultimate 05-18-2017 08:36 PM

I'll take it.

Its be funny if he took it and only wrestled once

Ruien 05-18-2017 10:59 PM

Would CM Punk bring in that much revenue?

The question you would have to ask yourself is it worth it as a lanch pad, is your product good enough that you could snowball and recover it down the road.

Because no, in 39 weeks you will not get that back.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-18-2017 11:47 PM

I thought the latest rumor was he was signing with NWA?

Destor 05-18-2017 11:53 PM

Im sure there was a rumor about him signing with literally everyone.

Lock Jaw 05-19-2017 12:24 AM

I signed him earlier this week

Does UFC have a non-compete with all pro-wrestling promotions? Not considering the legal issues, it wouldn't surprise me if they did, just not sure if that's the case or not.

Funny, I heard he'd resigned with Impact Wrestling. You work for them now?

Sixx 05-19-2017 09:25 AM

I want to see him getting dismantled in the UFC again.

Yeah but he brought in a lot PPV buys

Rammsteinmad 05-19-2017 09:59 AM

Am I the only one that thinks a 30-week tournament is excessive? I'd lose interest after about a month.

Yeah, you gotta think long-term. I'm sure they know they wouldn't make their money back DIRECTLY from having Punk on the show but if it were to get enough eyes on them to where they're making more fans to give them more money for years to come, it would be worth it.

That being said, it probably wouldn't work out that well.

#1-norm-fan 05-19-2017 11:10 AM

I would like to see Billy Corgan get Punk involved with the new NWA though. He would be an awesome face of that brand to build on.

Nope. Tournies should be no longer than the G1 which is too long for my taste to begin with.

Rammsteinmad 05-20-2017 07:03 AM

How long is that? Five or six weeks?

Cool King 05-20-2017 09:38 AM

This could all be a cunning plan to just sell tickets.

The "Early Bird" tickets for their shows were £15 and were available for a good while but as soon as CM Punk was even mentioned, a few of their events had sold out of their "Early Bird" tickets almost instantly.

Nothing is set in stone but just mentioning the possibility of CM Punk appearing (even though that possibility is incredibly low), has managed to sell a bunch of tickets for a few of their events.

Now, I planned on grabbing a few of those tickets myself but my friends were being assholes and didn't get back to me in time if they were up for going or not, so now the "Early Bird" tickets are sold out for Dundee.

Now, I just plan on waiting to see who will be officially announced for the event and see if it's worth my £30 or not.

I am delighted to announce that @CMPunk will participate in our 128 man tournament starting June 10th in Liverpool. Get your tickets now!

I don't buy it and if they haven't signed him, way to look like a cunt before bombing on UK national TV with the deal they've got.

Fucking carnies

#BROKEN Hasney 05-21-2017 03:15 PM

10pm UK time tonight. Hear from #5StarWrestlings newest participant @CMPunk in the 128 man tournament live via our official facebook page.

Might be a fake account entirely now that I think about it. No-one has verified him?

Swiss Ultimate 05-21-2017 03:16 PM

CM Punk is too old to be the face of anything.

Cool King 05-21-2017 03:17 PM

I'll need a photo of CM Punk holding a <s>TPWW</s> 5StarWrestling sign before I buy any tickets.

That still is from an UFC event

Nuh-uh, it says Takeover right there on the graphic.

CM Punk should sign with Lucha Underground just because.

It's a Fake News work in the reality era to sell tickets.

Brilliant.
