Various News – CM Punk/Danhausen, Clark Connors Signs New NJPW Deal, Impact

CM Punk surprised Danhausen by presenting him with one of the most iconic comic books of all time from the Spider-Man franchise. Danhausen shared the story on his Instagram account, noting that he has been going through a rough patch of late and that Punk surprised him with the “Holy Grail” collectible, Marvel Comics’ Amazing Fantasy #15 from August 1962. Danhausen wrote:

“Hello, I’ve had a really rough last month with everything going on in my life and a great friend of mine @cmpunk surprised me today with my holy grail collectible from @elite_comics11 he knew I’ve wanted for a very long time in an unspeakable act of kindness amongst other suspected unspeakable acts of kindness. He will be mad that I posted this but I do not care, this is my revenge. I have a bunch more nice things to say but I will save it for now. Thank you Pepsi Phil.”

The comic’s physical condition is not decent, graded at a 1.8 out of 10. However, even damaged copies of the book are extremely valuable. According to Go Collect, a 2.0 graded copy has a fair market value of $21,000 with an average sale price of $26,516 over the last year.

Fightful Select is reporting that Clark Connors has signed a new one-year deal with NJPW.

The general WWE and WrestleMania-themed merchandise was the top seller through WrestleMania week and Cody Rhodes moved the most merchandise in the individual Superstar sales category.

Meanwhile, The Acclaimed are doing “incredibly well” with merchandise sales in AEW.
