At the risk of taking this thread off topic, why would Punk get a payout from the WWE ?
Genuine question because I genuinely don't know. I would have thought that since he walked out on them, it would be the other way around for breach of contract. He may owe WWE time on a contract but they will owe him money on merch sales etc That is my understanding of it, I am prepared to be wrong though |

It is a complex one, Basically he will still be owed royalties from his merchandise selling. And once he walked out on WWE they had to stop advertising him for events or they would be false advertising and would have to refund tickets etc, So as he was booked for no dates he could argue he wasn't in breach of his contract, No dates = No reason to show up

They did however continue to sell merchandise, albeit at a much much lower value than they usually would and have now removed all his merch from the website so they will owe him royalties on merchandise sales. |

![]() and even then, if you essentially just up and quit, as he did, surely you'd forefeit any monies associated with that contract ? anyway, i was just curious i suppose. this is TNA we're supposed to be talking about

This would be my understanding of it as well. i would have assumed that a contract of employment - any contract of employment - would have required some kind of notice period at the very least.

Yep! ... Mr Punk voided his contract the second he went AWOL & I'd imagine the WWE arent legally obligated to honour it! 😇 .... even someone with brains of 💩💩💩 would know that! 😉

I agree with this, But bottom line is WWE don't own his name and likeness and therefore they will owe him money for the game he features in. Merchandise they can argue, A game they cannot
Ah the game! ![]() I guess it would cost more to have him removed from the latest WWE 2k15 before release so they'll pobably just give in & pay the minuscule amount he's due!

Amazing thing about TNA is that on October 26th it will have existed for longer than WCW did; 12 years 5 months & 15 days.

But then i guess you have to wonder where they'd be if they had a Vince McMahon-type figure behind them. I know McMahon didn't always have the money he has now, but he had enough to buy up a lot of the competition and the drive to make it all work. |

Well I suppose if you take WCW as a seperate entity that's true, but it's a lot longer if you consider that they essentially just renamed the NWA.

I know McMahon didn't always have the money he has now, but he had enough to buy up a lot of the competition and the drive to make it all work. I think they missed a trick by not giving Paul Heyman the full creative control he wanted, have Paul 100% responsible for creative and Dixie 100% responsible for business. People can criticise McMahon but he made a truly global business from a regional industry and I imagine a big part of that was being strong enough to say that the way he wanted it done was the way it was going to be done regardless of who disliked it. With TNA, the younger talent they had, some of the biggest names from the Attitude Era period, they shouldn't be in this position and at least part of it (and IMO it is the biggest part) has to be mismanagement. And another part has to be the destroying of everything that made TNA stand out, younger talent, X Division, a really good women's division, six sides that happened under Bischoff and Hogan which saw them stop being TNA and start the transition into a poorly executed third WWE brand. |

I think that's exactly what they need tbh. Dixie's problem is, and this is based on what I've read from people who have worked for her, is she's too easily led by others to the point that people didn't know who the boss was. Whereas with WWE, and I'm sure it will continue when Vince goes, everybody knows that Vince is #1, Triple H is #2 and that is just how it is.

I'm not saying Paul would have solved all the issues but it does need one head, one leader whoever it is.
They aren't going to get Heyman now but they still need one person who makes the final decision. If they get a new TV deal, they just need to reboot completely IMO. |

That Grado thing was staged, it just seemed scripted.
I really enjoyed the girls more so then the guys. Thought that drag queen persona was really unique. Felt that viper girl was really lovely. But knew she'd never get through

It's about time we had a decent Scottish wrestler on American TV. I'm all for Grado to win. The rest need to look at Grado and try and emulate him, try and be a real natural star like him.

Not confirmed, but as they have no shows booked except the UK tour in January, it's assumed the 5 Impacts November 26th-December 31st will be best of shows. Presumably if they get a new TV deal they will relaunch on 7th January. |
