WHERE'S SABU, PUNK'S STATUS, TNA BOOK DEAL AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2011-07-30 10:00:31
Please clear this up for me. Is CM Punk still with WWE or isn't he? Has he signed a new contract? Was he paid to appear on last nights Raw even though he is no longer under contract? What is going on? Am I dreaming like Pam Ewing did about her husband Bobby on Dallas?

Punk is signed.

I saw where Sarita was wearing a mask during her tag team match recently. Would you know how long she'll continue doing so? How is she doing confidence wise? Going through something so dramatic?

No word on how long she will need to wear the mask, but her condition is said to be improving week to week.

Where the hell is Sabu and why is it he's not working for a national company?

Sabu is still working independents, most notably Juggalo Championship Wrestling. As far as why he's not working nationally, he reached out to WWE in 2010 and there was no interest. His TNA run was cut short for creative reasons, although I thought he did a better job of connecting with the audience then most of the ECW crew that was brought in. Hopefully one day, and I say this as a Sabu fan, he'll finally get the chance to make some real money but the reality is that window is growing ever more closed.

Is Tommy Dreamer working backstage for WWE again?

No, Dreamer is wrestling independently and is working on non-wrestling projects. he has not, as of yet, returned in any capacity to WWE.

Why doesn't TNA have a book deal like WWE?

Quite frankly, because no publisher has approached them about doing one. The TNA brand name doesn't invoke the same potential in sales that the WWE name does, so no one has come to TNA and offered them a publishing deal. That said, there are quite a few interesting personalities who would make for interesting biography subjects - Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Bully Ray, AJ Styles, etc.
