1) Wrestlers Who Vince McMahon Won’t Do Business With
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon has labeled two wrestlers as people who he can’t do business with.
The first name mentioned is CM Punk. Here is what Meltzer wrote about how Vince feels about Punk:
Regarding reports of interest in C.M. Punk for WrestleMania, Vince McMahon labeled him the one man I just can’t do business with and nobody at the top level, including Paul Heyman has argued the point or pushed for him. Punk’s agent did try to open a conversation and was turned down. It was described that the FOX gig was something FOX wanted and WWE allowed it as a concession to not making waves in their relationship with the network, but it was limited to only one show a month.
Meltzer also says that Alberto Del Rio is someone who Vince wouldn’t do business with:
Although Alberto El Patron talked last week in the press in Mexico about being in talks with WWE and maybe coming back this summer, those in the company say there is no truth at all to that story….He was categorized to me with C.M. Punk as guys Vince really wouldn’t do business with.
My Take:
- The most interesting part of any of this is CM Punk’s agent trying to open a conversation with WWE but getting turned down. He must have really pissed off Vince if he is turning down a simple conversation.
