https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8jPZnmiChJE>CM Punk is being advertized for 22 upcoming events through the end of October. There was a funny thread on our board yesterday. They announced him for NXT, and somebody on the board said "can we give the guy props now?" because after they announced him they sold 222 tickets or something. And I was like... guys it's 222 tickets, what are we talking about here? I mean when they announced him for Chicago for AEW and sold the building out, that was impressive. When you announce him for NXT and sell 222 tickets... I could sell 222 tickets!>So they have a whole bunch of dates from now through the end of October. And uh, they are using "save up to 20% with promo code PUNK20". Because, you know, tickets aren't flying off the shelves like they were even a year ago. And SmackDown on Friday is from the TD Garden in Boston, and they're 6,747 tickets. They ran Raw there in March earlier this year, 5 months ago, and sold 12,674. So this SmackDown show is at 50% the number of tickets sold 5 months ago.>Maybe they will sell 6,000 tickets in a day? Advertize CM Punk for the show and maybe they will sell another 222 tickets?

>>21014674oh boy that's grim
ChoMo Punk has "returned" to pro wrestling like 7 times since 2021. It's been 5 years, the hype has died.
>>21014674Reminder 2k SummerHam tickets got refunded when Phil got the "here nigga damn" belt lol
>>21014677Wrestlemania season always gets a big bump in ticket sales and tv ratings.
>>21018471What do you mean tickets got refunded?
>>21014674You all need to watch this video exposing the revisionist history surrounding the "Summer of Punk" and the pipebomb, and put and end to the bullshit once and for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n8zPDYBnUQHe's been dimeless since day 1. Even at his peak. It was Rock drawing in the viewers, and he somehow managed to brainwash his fanbase into thinking Rock "forced his way" into some imaginary Mania main event "he was owed," when he couldn't even main event over the fucking Miz that same year
>>21018546Yeah punk caused huge viewership and ticket decreases in 2011 and 2026. It's true
>>21014674Oh look, antismarks were wrong again. Must be a day that ends with a Y.
didn't he leave for a while to fight irl and get beat up lol
