Is Punk in the new UFC game coming out early next year? Seems pretty cool to be making those EA dollars without ever having a fight.

Do fighters make money off the game now? Because I remember hearing on Observer not long ago they don't get paid anything from being in the game. There was a big issue a little while back where UFC stretched a clause in fighters contracts allowing them to use fighters likenesses in business ventures without paying royalties and applying it to the games.

CM Punk is cool and good and I'm glad he has the ability to follow what interests him. I for one am glad that our generation already has an analog for Bruno/Vince that will take decades to resolve (and will require HHH or a proxy to make good).

He'll be a dlc like Bruce Lee was in the last game. I sincerely hope they give him his lovely running knee to bulldog combo and a GTS just to make it extra ridiculous.

I hope he calls someone a pig on twitter as his taunt

Everything I've heard from Punk makes it seem like it's HHH he has the problem with not Vince (outside of the "owe you one" stuff), so I think it would definitely need a proxy :v:

You can play as Punk once but he immediately gets injured after the match and that character is locked out for 6 months.

I would be surprised if Punk let that fly in his contract with the UFC.

Destination America, TNA Impact Wrestling’s former TV residence, covers about 60 million homes. TNA in its final months on Destination America was averaging about 300,000 viewers.

Schwartz was impressed with 1.3-million viewers during TNA’s Spike days.

“That’s a number that’s in my head,” Schwartz said, “and then surpassing it.”

Well at this point any scenario in which he comes back would involve them coming to him. He doesn't need money or fame at this point so he ca basically do whatever he wants and wait for them to try and negotiate with him.

It's the equivalent of being an acquaintance of someone who has a sick kid, sending that kid a get well soon card and then calling up the parents to say "I don't know you well enough to really care but I knew it would make me look better if I did that"
