Does CM Punk still sign autographs? Really want one from him.

Does anyone know if you have to pay for the autographs from the WWE company fanmails?

WWE isn't TNA. They pull a profit and don't need to sell backstage passes and carny deals at events or on their site.... You can purchase a limited number of autographs on their shopzone site, but that's about it..

Ok

WWE sells some at the merch stand at live events. That's your best chance.

I know there has been a dispute over Hulk' fanmail autographs being real or not. idk if this might help, but he just tweeted this of him signing papers, I never tried his address but those who have might want to compare signatures

Those are COA's for buying merchandise from his store, not fanmail. There is no dispute over Hogan fanmail anymore, we confirmed it at Lockdown when he was asked if he signed fanmail for someone that wanted to send their photo op to him to be signed and he said he didn't have time for that.

Yeah! Screw capitalism and giving people their money's worth! You mean the carny deal where you pay $15 for an action figure and get to go backstage and get it signed by the talent? Is that the "carny deal"? What exactly would you classify the deal WWE offers where you buy an autographed picture that you don't even get to see signed in person or interact with the talent even for a few seconds? Two different entities that should be treated as such. Apples to oranges.

And FYI? That didn't answer the question. To answer the question, fanmail through WWE probably isn't even opened most of the time, sending money along with fanmail might help, but I doubt it would yield anything more than wasted money. Try it out and let us know.

TNA carny deal = advertising meet and greet with the company's stars and then getting Garrett Bischoff, Sarita, Rosita, Eric Young and ODB for $50.

Then, once one enters, they're bilked out of $15 first for whomever the figure deal is. After those are sold, the backstage pass shill is done for another $50 where fans can usually meet the talent that signed figures plus the upper portion of the card.

As for getting money's worth, don't even get me started on how idiotic TNA has been of late in trying to enforce the only TNA merch rule. That's carny right there to force fans that paid to get in and paid to meet talent to buy the TNA program because they won't allow them to sign a WWE photo.

Bait-and-switch tactics. That's what TNA's house show model was built upon and that's what it continues to be. It's the old carny... Well, technically, we didn't tell you a lite, but we didn't tell the truth either and it's sketchy at best.

WWE offers usually a photo signed by one talent. They don't have to do it and actually didn't up until a few years back. It is a courtesy WWE provides for the fans since they don't have to subject their talents to carpal tunnel syndrome and only draw 500 fans in a 5,000 seat building.

Hulk Hogan signs all his mail. I've seen it. We're homies.

If anyone is going to get carpal tunnel syndrome, it will be John Cena. He signs tons of those prints for wwe every event.

got a success from WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff via the pro wrestling hall of fame. They bring in alot of signers and the pricing isnt bad. Here is a link for those interested

Cena rides to each town in a bus. To be honest, the photos are a huge seller. WWE might sell 20 (low end) -100 (high end) at each event, meaning he likely signed about 500 to begin with and only has to sign enough to replace those sold the rest of the way on that item.

Not nearly the same as being Jeff Hardy and signing two autographs for all 300 TNA fans in attendance.

TNA ropes the fans in like a carny..

Imagine a festival or fair midway if you win, "You can win a prize" (get autographs of the stars) the carny promoter says and displays all the big prizes (main event talents) up front with the smaller ones on a shelf under the table.

Once you pay to throw a dart at ballons (or purchase the $50 meet-and-greet ticket), it's essentially if you break enough balloons and play enough times (or pay enough in TNA's case), you get a shot at the big prize.

WWE only promises a sports entertainment show. They never promise a meet-and-greet with the "stars" only to be shown the lower portion of the card and then be given the option to pay even more money to meet the upper tier talent.

Spin it as catering to the fans.. I'll call it carny tactics because that's what they are.

I've heard of numerous people that don't know any better and probably don't have enough to make their bills who dropped down $50 apiece for a family of four, misled to believe they were gonna get their kids a meeting with Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, etc., only to be disappointed to the point of causing a scene when the six wrestlers they sent out did the around the ring circuit.
