also the kofi/ziggler match was 2 out of 3 falls when we all knew the vote would be for vicky to not be at ringside. its just really insulting that they think we are all so dumb

I also noticed there's not a single CM Punk card in the checklist for the Topps WWE 2011 set even which is not a good sign (no Jericho, McCool etc either) for his future. He needs some time off though, he's been on the road straight pretty much since 2005. Give him a while off and let him come back around Royal Rumble/WM time next year.

Really haven't seen the checklist, but did see the eu card on the checklist

hes got no auto in champions and he has been in basically every set except for 2009. i hope we get one final one of him in 2011. its kinda odd there isn't a base card of him though because that checklist has been out for about a couple weeks.

His EU card is on the sell sheet but then it's not on the actual checklist itself, really weird.

that that is pretty weird, well guess CM Punk is gone for good lol nah I guess we'll have to all wait and see

[gambra]

Haha. Even as a huge Punk fan, I'm not that worried. Even if he does leave he won't be gone for long, he's still pretty young. Few years left in him yet!

Japan baby.....make alot more money work alot less and treated alot better

[gambra]

There's no way he'd make more money in Japan, not yet anyway. The only person to really make the US -> Japan move permeant recently is Giant Bernard (Albert/A-Train), tonnes of guys might get in the crowds every so often but not as a regular paying gig

Not to be a jerk, but really? CM Punk is a massive star, and they'll pay him top notch......I don't have alot of direct numbers just rumors and what not but I know a few years back solid mid carders were getting 30K plus for 3-6 week tours.....

Oh I'm not doubting they'd fall over themselves to offer him contracts but I still don't see him earning more over there than he is now in WWE. He might do it for a few short stints (it's unlikely he'll go back to the US indies) but would probably still overall earn more more holding out for a new WWE contract.
