I'm pretty sure they grabbed it at an auction or out of a dumpster when Pastamania closed because it was only open at the Mall of America for like ten months.

Just going from his promo last night, he closed that door pretty hard.

It would be tough to top his AEW run as a send-off anyways. 2 years of hanging out with all the little stingers in AEW having a hell of a time and only working when he wants to.

Punk got an offer from Impact and Ace is working there as a producer now. I will die laughing if Punk has to take an offer from TNA in the year 2023.

Anthem Sports, which owns Impact, made a $73 million deal via cash & stock to acquire the Gravitas Ventures film distribution company. They have money. A guy like Punk would almost certainly still be a business changer for them, even after everything, so he'd be worth their money.

Until he implodes because Shark Boy made a fish-themed joke in a guest appearance. Calling himself The Bass in the World or something.

Not as far as I'm aware, I believe everyone that was there (either behind the scenes or in-ring) during his early run with the company has long since departed. There might be some people there that he knows from his stints in WWE or AEW, though.

Punk's bestest buddy because he works in the back so he can never take his spotlight is working there as a producer now. I'm sure he'll eventually get canned for biting another EVP though.

I mean, if we forget about Schadefreude for a moment, that sounds like the ideal place for Punk. Some people he likes, none that are sick of his poo poo yet, a place that would build itself around him and where he can pretend his experience means something without anyone to dispute his wisdom.

I hope it doesn't happen because it sounds like TNA has gotten their poo poo together, they don't deserve an idiot like Punk.
