wordsfromlee Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 CM Punk returned to wrestling very briefly in a run in on his mate Ace Steele. The promoter of the show has since confirmed that is was Punk in the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. He persued a childhood dream and because he lived it, he ended up despising the thing he loved. He might have drove himself to that, WWE might have, Vince might have, either way it’s a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince put himself in that situation. He got himself out if it too. It's been 22 years. Move on. He only had "reasonable" creative control. He was being unreasonable refusing to do the job.

He was being unreasonable refusing to do the job. The term "reasonable" is problematic in law when it comes to the entertainment industries. It could be argued that Bret was being reasonable because he offered a remedy to the difficult situation by offering to job in the US. He took recognisable steps to negotiate a position that was problematic to both parties, rather than being intransigent and refusing to negotiate at all. Either way, if you wanted to argue the legal case, Vince still wouldn't have a leg to stand on, because he agreed to the finish and then reneged on that deal. By agreeing to it, he was admitting Bret was being reasonable, and by changing the finish without Bret's agreement, he abrogated the contract. It's all academic, anyway, seeing as it was never contested in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam O'Rourke Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I remember reading, and this may have been asking Meltzer in an email years ago, that the term reasonable in Bret's deal was defined as neither side could do anything the other didn't agree on. So basically, if either side deemed it unreasonable, it didn't qualify as an option. So Bret was perfectly legally entitled to do what he did. In essence, McMahon opened himself up to a lawsuit by screwing Bret, an option Bret effectively gave up by knocking Vince in his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 22, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2019 I just found out that glorified house show Shield's Last Ride is on the network at 2.30am.
