punk got exactly what he deserved at that UFC fight. The worst part about punk’s story post-wwe is that he’s no longer a superhero, so all his bravado is just coming from some schmo named phil. he’s not actually cm punk without wrestling, he’s completely powerless. before he was a hero or an anti hero. he spoke for people… even if he was really just speaking for himself, it didn’t matter. now every humilation that he has suffered along the way, save the frivolous wwe lawsuit against him and another innocent party, is exactly what he has earned since leaving.
on the other hand, i respect him so much for leaving and i still revere the cm punk character as a holy figure in wrestling, along with Owen Hart who physically died for wrestling’s sins and not his own. Punk is the greatest not only because he was the best performer of our generation with no one able to touch him even at the current moment, but also because he was the only wrestler to ever be smart enough to really leave wrestling and, in typical punk fashion, completely burn the bridge down in the process. the fact that he will (likely) never return is what makes him better than all the kurts, all the brets, all the hbks, and any other legend that came back with their tail between their legs. cm punk the wrestler is completely superpowered, and WWE trying to sell brock lesnar as what a superpowered wrestler “actually” looks like is another pathetic attempt from wwe at telling people how to feel. that company is dead to me for so many reasons, but seeing brock victory after brock victory and the reactions from a completely complacent audience prove that punk was right to leave.
Phil Brooks sucks but cm punk is forever.

Baron Corbin has completed his transition into Corporate Kane
Speaking of pro wrestling (as I am in the Superstar Shakeup live blog), Kurt Angle is the current general manager on Monday Night Raw, an Olympic gold medalist, and a Catholic.
When CM Punk (currently retired from wrestling) called Pope Benedict XVI “a Nazi” in 2013, Angle came to the Holy Father’s defense, albeit a rather earthy manner. I, for one, have no problem with Pope Benedict “whip[ping] Punk’s skinny ass.” I doubt His Holiness has any plans to do so, however.
Saint Sebastian, patron of athletes, pray for us.
Pope Benedict XVI, pray for us.

I don’t know what WWE has planned for the 2018 (I do my best to avoid any spoilers or “insider gossip”) BUT I am guessing making the hypothesis that Kurt Angle will wrestle his “illegitimate son” Jason Jordan in some type of grudge match.
I honestly do not see the overall direction of the angle (pun intended) but it just feels as though the two men have to end up on opposing sides. At first, the WWE made it real sappy with the father-son/nepotism vibe, but thankfully they have kept the two men separate for the last couple weeks, and allowed Jordan to shine on his own with matches against John Cena and Roman Reigns.
Lets face it, Jason Jordan is a star. I believe someday he will be a main-event wrestler, however, the long-lost-son gimmick might leave a mark on his career - WWE career, anyway. The American Alpha tag team could have done so much more in WWE. In fact, they could have been this generation’s Steiner Brothers or Haas & Benjamin, yet the company chose to split them up. It’s such shame.
Now I realize some will argue that Jason Jordan lacks the charisma to be a ‘leading man’ in WWE and therefore needs the gimmick with Angle to better earn presence as a entertainer. {Was Kurt Angle’s Hall Of Fame speech about wrestler’s being ready to take advantange of the stories WWE gives them aimed at Jordan? Hmmmm.}
Anyway, Jordan has proven that he has the talent. All WWE has to do is put him in the ring with wrestlers that top-tier (see his matches w/ Balor, Cena, & Reigns). A match with Kurt Angle could be the one thing that will put Jordan on the rader and most importantly, take hime away from the gimmick.
Kurt Angle looks worse for wear tonight.
gXp WrestleMania 34 Predictions
So, it’s here – WrestleMania 34 is tomorrow and the WWEwill (hopefully) put together one of the best cards of the year. The sheer number of matches that are on the card this year (thirteen total matches) and the seven-hour run time of the show means that there is a lot of action to be had with this event. With nine championships on the line throughout the night, two high-profile tag team…
10 WWE Daniel Bryan Dream Matches I Want to See
To be honest, I still can’t believe it – Daniel Bryan (real name Bryan Danielson) has been cleared by the WWEto return to in-ring competition. After being forced to retire from in-ring action back in February 2016 due to concussion related injuries, he has gone through numerous test and studies, both for the WWE and outside of their system, to prove that he was healthy enough to return as an…
And…….ssleeeep. Sleep long and deep Kurt Angle. Edge puts Kurt Angle to sleep in Hair vs Hair match.
