January 29th: CM Punk has been red hot in the news for the past 12 hours. In fact, DGUSA/EVOLVE Booker Gabe Sapolsky has already been flooded with requests for Punk to appear in the WWNLive Family, which includes DGUSA, EVOLVE, SHINE and FIP, where Punk had a lengthy run in 2004-2005. Sapolsky has this statement on Punk:
"CM Punk and I were close at one time, but have not spoken in months. There was no falling out or heat to my knowledge, it's just how things go with both of us leading very different lives now. In other words, I have no inside track or info, just a take on things. I have already received many messages with fans asking for Punk in DGUSA and EVOLVE, especially with the shows coming up in New Orleans on April 3rd, 4th and 5th as part of the WWNLive Experience. However, knowing Punk I would be shocked if he ever did an independent wrestling show again. There's probably a better chance HHH shows up at a non-WWE event. Punk has given himself 110% to the business over the last few years. His scheduled amazed me because there was no way any human should have had to endure it. He gave his heart, soul and body to WWE and every wrestling fan. My take on all this is it is best now to just leave Punk alone. Let him recharge, refresh and get his life back. He mentally and physically needs it. If and when he's ready to do something, I'm sure he will. Just leave him alone and let him be."
January 29th: Thank you for reading this WWNLive Alerts. We'll be back soon with many more match announcements for DGUSA in NYC and the entire WWNLive Experience in New Orleans!
