He's still the #2 guy merch wise without even being there.

Is that true?

Teddy Long's finest moment

 

[G-Fex]

I am going to laugh very ominously and evilly when Punk comes out as the surprise entrant at the MitB Title Match.

Aiii

..I should've known.

Why did I trust you? D:

 

[Aiii]

Is that true?

Nope, it was back in February though.

 

[Sid]

Any creative team firings would most likely be kept under wraps

It just seems like the same guys have been there for the past decade.

 

[Aiii]

Looks like Sbraghl gets to live. Lucky bastard.

 

[Hasney]

Online.

He had a new t-shirt debut at Wresltemania and by all accounts that's being doing hotcakes at the arenas. I like the design of most of his stuff comparatively to all the other shit they pump out, but I still don't get it. Unless people are just grabbing it while they can.

We should all get JTG avatars for the rest of June.

Wrong. Bryan is number 2 right now.

I guess you missed the infusion of new blood that is Ranjin Singh

Brazilian player did a hell if a sell job. Brisco is on the phone

Brazil cheating its way to victory. We are the heels of this world cup.

 

[UberTag]

I actually like pretty much everyone who does commentary for the WWE not currently on Smackdown or RAW.

That's just because Vince isn't actively ruining them.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Of course you of all people would say that, G-Cist.

 

[Perspicacity]

Online.

I dunno if this is still the case, but at Mania he was still treated as a top star in the merch stands.
At live shows they don't have much selection and most stands 5-8 different shirts to choose from. Punk was right up there next to Cena, Taker, Bryan, Warrior, and Hogan at every single stand. I'd imagine if this is still the case it's the only reason why the incessant CM Punk chants haven't died yet.

Weren't you the one making all those racist faces when Signit would talk in MGS3?

 

[Man God]

Very likely! I kinda want to see if the main commentators ever went rogue during Smackdown and started caring.

EDIT: The WWE has a vested interest in selling as much CM Punk Merch as possible for the next month or so. They get 100% of the profits.

 

[Hasney]

I mis-read a story on Punks merch. In April, it said WAS the #2 seller. The actual story on the Observer was that he was still top 5 then though and possibly #3 at that point.

I might pick up another Punk shirt when they all go full clearance on the euroshop.

 

[somedevil]

Regarding Tatsu, there had been a feeling for some time that he had really regressed in the ring.

It's said that Brodus Clay fell out of favor with WWE creative.

Long's contract expired and it was well known within WWE that he would be leaving soon.

Out of all 11 releases, the releases of Camacho and Hawkins came as the bigger surprises to people within WWE. Camacho was very popular within NXT circles and Hawkins had several more years left on his current deal.

Hawkins had 7 years left how?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Hawkins had 7 years left how?

Several more years left, not seven

I went to Raw a few weeks ago and all he had was one of those little dolls at the merch stand. No one bought one.

Big Dave said WWE was still sending punk merch checks

I'd suggest indies, over TNA. TNA is in the shits more than ever. Go to ROH or somewhere.

 

[Hasney]

Even then still surprising they got him on a multi-year contract.

Big Dave said WWE was still sending punk merch checks

Yup, all reports say the same on that fact. I'd love to know how his deal and Austins are different.

That's...actually quite telling in a way.

WWE is normally vindictive as hell on these sort of things and its a normal rider in their contracts.

 

[Data West]

Brodus and Jinder both look like they could be in Bullet Club. It's highly likely with the way Jado and Gedo are getting hardons over gaijins.

I thought it was something about how the only way they can get their share of Punk's merch is if they pay out Punk's share? I don't know how these things work.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Croatia screwed worse than Bret Hart.

 

[Serpentine]

Camacho could definitely be in Bullet Club too

Its Vince who is keeping the checks coming. If it was up to Stephanie this wouldn't be happening.

I do not recall such things.

 

[Ithil]

They already have a big guy in Fale, and Brodus is even worse a wrestler. Drew would be great in Bullet Club because he'd tower over everyone.

 

[Data West]

I disagree about Brodus being worse than Fale. Fale is awful, Brodus could be carried just as much as Fale was. And Brodus is bigger.

 

[slightconfuse]

Camacho is tama tonga's brother

Also WWE should hire these FIFA refs

 

[G-Fex]

I do not recall such things.

8:57pm BIONIC-ARRRMMM: Yoooooooooo

Camacho is the only real surprise, I love that dude and he's great as the entry into the upper circles of NXT jobber. He was the gatekeeper.

There is likely at least one more release coming

oh oh?

Well Natalya had a nice run

 

[Kaladin]

Something tells me if there is one more FE, it's going to hurt.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well at least Slater can move onto his Clem Layfield gimmick now.

Couldn't hit harder than JTG and 2/3 of 3MB. And I doubt they're releasing Curtis Axel or Jack Swagger anytime today so i think i'll be ok
