I feel you. Only time I get something from WWEshop is around Christmas. Euroshop isn't much cheaper, honestly.

Check out the Japanese prices. I swear, it's just the US price plus international shipping.

Then again, it's been awhile since I've checked. Maybe it's gotten better.

There's a store near my office sells a ton of imports. Shirts are about $40 USD each and that's a BARGAIN compared to online prices.

I pay $50-60 per shirt I order (With shipping that is) And that's why I don't have a official Ambrose shrit yet. I have to stick to my Moxley one, still.

Wait that documentary is considered not good? I thought it was one of the best docs WWE has ever done. Of course there's no need to buy it now since it's on the network but I got the blu ray when it came out.

Yeah, don't know what that's about, the documentary is brilliant.

They've been that price for a few weeks now haven't they?

Same with a few other guys who are still signed. Just clearance of stock over any statement of intent etc.

The company wouldn't want to lose cash just because they have to pay a slightly bigger percentage to CM Punk. I mean, DVD sold at $2.99 = less revenue for the company and Punk if it wasn't just stock clearance, and Vince McMahon wouldn't want less money.

Especially with Wall Street breathing down their neck. They'd be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I believe in wrestling, this is called "business"

[deancubed]

LOL I bought a hat

Hat price: $2.99
Shipping: $11.99
Tax: $1.75

Price for a $3 hat: $16.80

(numbers are approximate please dont check my math)

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I seriously doubt that marking down merch is a 'oh yeah? we'll show you' move. Punk hasn't been on the roster in months, they have a bunch of merch in the warehouse, if they mark it down, they might be able to sell it and make some space.

[MGH]

Eh, gave me a good excuse to buy the hat finally.

[mcstoklasa]

I miss Punk

"Hey Phil can you sign these 1349 DVDs for me?"

[Evilution E5150]

[lildude8218]

they've officially changed the title of his DVD to "The Best is a Girl"

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Glad I got the original Best in the World tshirt right after he split.

Didn't they do this with Bischoff's book one time?

yeah, back when he defected to tna, when I bought it, it was like 20 bucks or something, then they lowered it to like 5 bucks or less..

3 bucks for his DVD...lmfao.

It's still $2.95 more than I would pay for it. I'd rather get a few McChicken sandwiches that buy that piece of shit.

Hey!

He changed the system! Michael Hayes said so!

It's a pity the documentary wasn't very good and was too mixed in kayfabe to really outdo any other documentary of quality (nowhere near the greatness of Austin/Foley's latest sets) but oh well, at least the match disks are worth the money if you are into collecting.

Not good? There are no good WWE documentaries then?

Oh yeah haha. I remember him mentioning on Twitter or in an interview that he had just received a five figure sum for a royalty check from WWE and started to plug his book and that it was still available on Shopzone. Then WWE slashed the price. I'm sure he acknowledged that too but was surprisingly a good sport about it!

[BigWill]

I think the OP may have a point. Compare Punk's merch to another alumni like Edge, who's got DVDs and shirts still selling at a decent price, despite being gone for years. Granted this isn't hard proof, but dropping merch prices this low is clearly not something the WWE does to every superstar that leaves.
