That's not what the site says currently The weekly has 3 Better than You Baybay on the top 10, and then top 16 you have 3 Punk Shirts Unless the Mystery Bag are all Punk Shirts. There is literally some number fudging there. Maybe its only US sales you guys can check yourself www.prowrestlingtees.com/topsellers/weekYeah I remember peeking it Monday and there wasn't a single Punk shirt; the only change then to now is the orange Orange Cassidy shirt falling out for the All In jersey. I don't know what Wrestlenomics is looking at, but Punk's not leading a big surge of the merch in the aftermath of this. Although there isn't even a "Daily" bestselling tab I can see, so I'm not sure where this info could be coming from in the first place, but maybe that one is a US-only kind of thing. I only see Weekly/Monthly/Yearly, and of those, Punk's Best in the World shirt is sixth on the Yearly chart, but that's it.

If TK can secure Mercedes and Edge and they can manage to move the needle like Punk(or more than him) in several business aspects then that makes Punk expendable.
I get what you're saying, but speaking of Edge, IMO AEW really really doesn't need Edge. Like at all. The face of the company should be MJF, not a revolving door of WWE guys.
Edge could help Collision, that show needs more depth and some star power if Punk will be out for months at least

I'd honestly love to know the methodology that has someone have 42 items in the top 10 and get 6259 but then the people with 61 items get half of that, but then the guys with four items get 2284 and the guys with zero (which is incorrect because the Bucks charity shirt has been on the weekly bestsellers all week) get 1158. Not even in a "Wow this is biased you're a liar" way but like what is the actual way this is being calculated because the weights seem kind of insane

You're right. But also not. Cause everything hinges on Punk's neuroses going forward. Punk could (and should) be their top guy, the face of the revolution, if he had his head on straight and were still the same guy he was in his first 8 months or so. If I were Khan I wouldn't want to kill all of that potential by showing him the door. But if he isn't gonna meet any of that potential and is just going to disrupt the company and possibly drive off other people, losing out on THEIR potential and what they have to give... what can you do at that point? It's a no-win scenario IMO. I think the only way it's a situation where nothing can fully be done is if WB is really sold on Punk being a major presence and wants him there ahead of the new rights deal being signed. That said, if Edge and Mercedes come in I have to think WB would be fine with them as more than ample replacements. I get that Punk moves a whole lot of merch, but that strikes me as weighing short term gains vs. long term risks.
Mortgaging your future based on the damage Punk can and has done to morale because he moves some t-shirts is bad business anyway you look at it.

I started wavering on the Punk train, to be very specific, in the press conference/weigh-in the night before his first UFC fight where he did nothing but big leaguing childish wrestling shit. When you make yourself look that embarrassingly immature in a UFC environment of all places, it's bad. It solidified every criticism of him "taking a spot" in UFC as completely spot-on and valid. But we all have off days. The point of no return was not paying for Colt's costs in the lawsuit like he said he would. Once that got out, it was like "Wow, this guy sucks. What a shitty thing to do." And then the more and more pieces that come out about that, like the judge dismissing the initial filing from Colt "with prejudice" meaning he definitely saw something there but needed the lawyers to word it differently, to the reason for the falling out being Punk getting buyers remorse and using Colt getting pizza with Sami, Kevin and PAC as a reason to cut him out and think he "betrayed him," to the absolutely gross bringing Colt's mom into it and trying to make the very real very America "sharing a bank account with your Mom" taking care of your parents consideration seem like a bad thing. Just abhorrent. And I used to absolutely love his work. He just drags everything down around him. I don't know if the present-day Punk fans still adore him as some sort of wish-fulfillment or a nostalgia for where they were in their lives when he was on top, or just a level of blinders where they can just take when they see of the guy that airs on television and then project that into the only way they perceive how he is in his everyday life - but I think everyone will eventually either hit their limit on Punk or just full-on identify as a bigger fan of Punk himself than the medium of wrestling itself. What do you mean by the dismissed with prejudice part? I thought Colt and Punk settled, so any settlement would be conditioned on the case being dismissed with prejudice (which means you can’t bring the case again).

Hausman and FTR Bald sweating as they frantically crunch numbers on Excel to make Punk's ShopAEW numbers the best as Punk is in the back of the room watching them like:

Just have Dennis Rodman dress as CM Punk and Call him CM Punk and act like nothing has changed and he's always been CM Punk
Dennis Rodman could probably hit a better GTS and elbow drop

Going to laugh my ass off if Rodman cuts a promo and somehow inadvertently buries CM Punk.

Tony Khan wants to be a bitch so badly... but Punk's brand of bullshit makes it really difficult.
