The only factor that could really weigh on Punk, would be his desire to stick it to WWE. Other then that TNA really has nothing to offer Punk, except a seat in a first class stateroom on TNA's sinking ship.

I don't know how things are on Mars, but here on Earth steroids are illegal, immoral, and bad for you. Vince Jr. called Graham the prototype of the modern WWE superstar, he stated that if he was running things not Vince Sr., Graham would have not been forced to drop the title to Backlund. Now you take that , throw in Vince Jr's own steroid scandal from the 80's, and subsequent steroid incidents, since then. Toss in the love Jr has for bodybuilders, and what have you got... Wrestlers with a much shortened career life than what they had before Jr. took over. Statistics trump bluster Brother!!!

Vince Jr. said that Graham was "twenty years too soon", so all you modern WWE superstars look and see what you have to look forward to 10-20 years after your careers are over.

Have you ever noticed that Vince Jr. has a fan base with an almost religious devotion to him. Tell the fanbase something they don't want to hear, and they attack you as if you were slamming Jesus or something. So lets look at some of the facts:

1. Vince Sr sold the business to Jr. - This was more of a dad passing the company to his son, with the agreement that he would be taken care of in his old age. For those who think otherwise, please explain where Jr got the money? Maybe he had been saving his paper route money as a kid. The WWWF may have been "just" a territory, but it was the richest territory, based in the New York media market.

2. Vince Jr lied to his father and agreed leave the territories alone, a promise he was forced to make, because Vince Sr was still a member of the NWA board, and many of the other promoters like Eddie Graham were his friends. Vince Sr even called the other promoters to warn them when Jr decided that owning the biggest piece wasn't enough,he wanted the whole pie.

3. Donald Trump once credited his father because its the first million was the hardest. Vince Jr on the other hand wants people to believe that his father was just a tiny piece of the WWE equation, when WWF was already a million dollar corp, before Jr ever got there.

4. With all that said, Jr can (and should) be credited for the level of success that he has achieved. But the man stood on the shoulders of giants to do it. If Vince Jr disciples can't accept that its their problem

Sounds like your the one doing the crying. Styles is working in the profession of his choice and making good money doing it. Why don't you just say good luck and wish him the best? I just don't get some people.

AJ is proof that a guy with talent can still thrive in wrestling, with or without WWE. Good for him, and good for the wrestling business.

The man is a pro wrestler, is it strange that he would want to work for the biggest company around? If you don't want to see him in WWE, perhaps you can use your influence to get him on at the gas station you work for.

He burned some bridges true, but he had some bridges blown up on him. To fans of the man, he will be remembered as the Stone Cold, before there was a Stone Cold. He pushed the envelope the same way Austin did, but the WWE wasn't ready for that kind of personality yet. He was ahead of his time.

The WWE has been guilty in the past of using dishonest tactics to influence/herd the fans where they want them to be. Example: royal rumble #3 Sid Vicious throws Hulk Hogan out of the ring to the cheers of the live crowd. The crowd at home got piped in boo's and jeers. Early in the Rock's career, you were hearing cheers at home, but he was being booed out of the building, if you were there. Paul Heyman sets up a match between RVD and Jerry Lynn, in an attempt to show WWE that Lynn was a wrestler worth a push. The match was one of the greats, but WWE edited Lynn's parts out; making it look like a squash match. I don't mind the scripted nature of wrestling, but the one thing that should not be messed with the fan reaction. If the notion of a wrestler getting over is to mean anything, then honest fan reaction is crucial.
