Paid Members Statto Posted May 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 Can Punk do it, even if he wants to? Do the terms of his UFC contract (which I presume he still has?) just allow him to take wrestling bookings if he feels like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicsGuy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Something weird about his twitter account. Account appears to be fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 He's just said on twitter that CM Punk will be live via Skype on the 5* Wrestling Facebook page at 10pm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 Meltzer's said it's a hoax, and the 5 Star account also says the Twitter is a fake - it's since been suspended. Apparently it's a guy called Cameron Toutt, who has a track record of this nonsense. 5 Star have still included a screenshot of the original Tweet in their denial, and are using a silhouette of CM Punk in their graphics for the tournament, and are still pushing the "$1 million for CM Punk" story.

WyattSheepMask Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 So after all that CM Punk talk, which to the suprise of nobody ended up being absolutely nothing, Rob Van Dam has been added to the tour. Nonidea how well RVD can still go these days I've not seen him since he last in WWE, but I can't imagine him wanting to much more than his usual spots & routines and then head back to his hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refused Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Supposedly it's been postponed/cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I had heard that, but they're still selling tickets on the website and can't seem to find anything to suggest that it has been officially cancelled, so fuck knows what's going on Not that it would be a shock at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodd was touting his match against Davey Richards for weeks, talking about how they had to sell DVDs and this surefire indie classic would sell around the world. Imagine his surprise (and nobody else's) when RVD came in, did his normal spots, hit the Five Star Frog Splash and went home in fifteen minutes.

Chris Brooker Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 That's not on RVD, that's on the promoter. I was there that night but I've since got to know some of the other guys that were booked. By the time the main event rolled around the show was running so far overtime that the venue management had threatened to shut them down. As a result the main event's time was slashed considerably, hence only enough time to for a sprint that squeezed in all the trademark moves.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Oh I'm not disagreeing with you, in fact I'm making exactly that point. With RVD you get what you pay for, especially if your show has already gone four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 They killed the show with the dumb ending to the heavyweight title match, RVD v Richards should have gone on before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted June 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2017 ^^^ I was at 1PW for RVD vs. Davey Richards, one of the few 1PW shows I actually did attend outside their initial 6 months. Of course, I ended up missing the match itself due to them over-running by a ridiculous amount (even by their own standards). On 5 Star, various wrestlers, referees, etc. on Twitter are now saying it is cancelled and are asking for other bookings instead - so it's off. Like anyone actually bought a ticket anyway...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2017 Maffew is claiming that the excuse 5 Star are giving is that they're postponing the shows due to the Manchester bombings. Finding new depths of shitarsery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
