Look up Warrior, Ultimate.He's hardly taken any breaks at all. I'm sure he has days upon days of paid leave stacked up that he's probably just gonna use up until his contract expires.
Guess no on here has ever heard of terminal leave. He's getting paid to sit at home and do nothing. Good for him.
Unless he's a flaming moron (which he's not), he'll cash every royalty check WWE sends him. He's at a point now where he can live off royalties for the rest of his life.
Legally, he just has to wait out the remainder of his contract before he can appear for another promotion or network. But when that contract expires, he can do whatever he wants. It's just going to suck for him if he tries to get back into wrestling somewhere else because he won't be able to be "CM Punk", which is the name nearly everyone identifies him by.
Warrior went to court and lost and didn't get shit when he left too. Every shirt they are flipping, the dolls, etc isn't paying a cent to Punk because he walked just like those other guys.Steve Austin deal....Can't sell Stone Cold shit, but can sell Steve Austin shit.
And LOL terminal leave, they ain't union protected. Also, WWE royalties are date oriented, you miss a cut off, you are not on a game, or collect anything. Steve Austin dind't make shit when he left, Brock Lesnar didn't make shit when he left.
Read the first page moron, we all said it was a work and then we went at length to explain why it not being a work would be fucking stupid.I'm going to laugh my ass off when Punk returns in Chicago to show that it was all a work and all you "Smarks" that think you know everything about the inner workings of WWE cry yourselves to sleep.
