– As reported, CM Punk appeared on AMC’s “Talking Dead” yesterday evening, and was introduced as “Phil Brooks, aka CM Punk” by show host Chris Hardwick. There was no mention of Punk’s WWE status during the conversion, and Hardwick plugged Punk’s current @CMPunk Twitter page at the end of the show, which incidentally has not been updated since January 27th. The only other nugget from the show was fellow guest Yvette Nicole Brown telling Punk he was being “very sweet today,” prompting Punk to smile and say, “Right now, I’m a completely new person.”
– Following the rumors that AMC Networks had interest in acquiring World Wrestling Entertainment, What Culture has an article on their website looking at five companies who would want to buy WWE. They are listed as:
5. Mass Media Conglomerate (i.e. Disney, Comcast, AMC Networks)
4. Internet Company (i.e. Netflix)
3. Crazy Billionaire (Mark Cuban, Donald Trump, Richard Bronson)
2. Live Event Producer (Live Nation, Ticketmaster)
1. Private Money (private equity firms)
