Eric Bischoff discussed Five Star Wrestling’s $1 million offer to CM Punk to participate in their 128-man tournament on the latest episode of Bischoff on Wrestling. The full podcast audio and highlights of the discussion are below:
On the offer: “It’s a million dollars but then you are going to get taxed in the UK. Then you’ve got to get that money out so then you are also going to get taxed in the United States. When it’s all said and done that million dollars is really about $350,000? With that said… I’d still take the money!”
On whether he thinks Punk will wrestle in a company like iMPACT! Wrestling or Ring of Honor: “I don’t know him. I’ve never met him but I’ve read a lot of what he said. if he’s not picking up the phone to respond to a million dollar cash offer to go wrestle in the UK for two days then I think the likelihood of him winding up in Impact, or whatever the hell it’s called, and working for “Mr. Ed” would surprise me.”
