TNT Nitro = TBS Thunder with Bret Hart TBS Dynamite = TNT Collision with CM Punk Turner back then and WBD now, want more wrestling content because it's relatively cheap dependable programming.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the network are willing to chuck more money at TS for extra content then he isn't going to refuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's even been referred to in this thread. Unless I'm missing something and someone who isn't a total knob like IL is can fill me in.

CavemanLynn Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I apologise if my analogy wasn't spot on. I heard there was a new 2hr wrestling show coming and being associated with a one older star, and with the 90s fresh in my mind watching a YouTube series, Thunder was what popped into my head. Regardless of who put forward the idea, whether it was AEW or the network, it seems a massive risk considering at least two new shows have been launched in the past year and TK seems just as involved in them as his flagship show, plus market saturation. If Punk is going to be thr focus, it'll be interesting seeing if there is a specific style or direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Rumours of Punk backstage at Raw tonight. I guess everyone does forgive and forget eventually. Edit: according to Alvarez was asked to leave by security. God I love wrestling, its all so amazingly petty.

DavidB6937 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Saw Punk was hanging out with Tamina. So he's already been punished enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 God I love CM Punk. I really do. Wrestling needs a proper, Hogan-esque backstage politician who is happy to stir the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browser Brady Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 How many “good “ injury free years does he have in him at this point ?  1? 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2023 CM Punk and Tamina bonding over the fact that neither of them have done a memorable thing in WWE since CM Punk left, over nine years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarlettChad Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Few friends are getting hype over his potential return to WWE. Like are they forgetting his contract? But yeah it's just to get people talking. Proper old school worker lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69MeDon Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I liked that the footage of him and Tamina makes it seem like Punk was just creeping in the parking lot until Tamina happened to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
