CM Punk finally breaks his silence

20141127-031642.jpg

It’s 3AM in the morning on Thanksgiving Day and I just got done listening to Colt Cabana’s podcast “The Art of Wrestling” and his guest is none other then CM Punk. In the podcast Punk discuss a number of things. Everything from the shield being his idea, almost dying, his wedding day and of corse what really went down that fateful night in Cleveland Ohio after Royal Rumble 2014

November is the month for giving and Colt Cabana and Punk gave the fans and even anti fans so much to enjoy. I’ll tell you this and I’m speaking on behalf of myself as well: If you’ve ever called the man that is CM Punk a quitter or what punk calls a “quieter” you may want to think twice about that. Further more you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.

Punk doesn’t hide the fact that he’s still bitter and rightfully so, but he says that’s a part of life and he’s working through it. When Punk and Cabana set up this interview they did it so Punk would be comfortable telling his side of the story with his best friend knowing there was no hidden agenda.

By the end of this interview you will have all the answers to your burning CM Punk questions. Weather or not you’ll have respect for him by the end of it is entirely up to you. This interview is uncensored, uncut and just straight up real.

I encourage you to listen to the whole thing it is well worth the 90mins+ (and no skipping either, LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING) especially if you’re a Punk fan. You can download the podcast on iTunes or you can listen to it here http://youtu.be/zxHRJnZsinQ

So sit back and enjoy! Have a happy Thanksgiving everybody

Sting to appear at Survivor Series?

20141122-114747.jpg

It is being reported on various wrestling sites that sting will make an appearance at WWE’s Survivor Series tomorrow night. This news has gotten many people talking and one has to assume with the rumor being heavily reported the “WWE network” subscriber numbers should be sky rocketing. Especially since the month of November is free with no commitment plan.

If these rumors are true and we do see the LEGAND that is sting appear at one of the WWE’s biggest PPV’s of the year we have to ask ourselves what kind of roll will he play? Maybe he’ll be there to make sure the authority is out of power for good? Or perhaps the complete opposite?

It should be noted though that there is talks of pairing him up with the “cerebral assassin” Triple H because officials believe HHH has what it takes to work at Sting’s pace in the ring further more putting him over while making it believable.

So does this mean we’ll eventually get HHH vs Sting at Wrestlemania 31? If that’s the case I’m sure it’ll be a barn burner and a moment we’ll be taking about for ages.

I’m sure all these questions and more will be answered very soon, so stay excited and STAY TUNED!!

Lana is pitch perfect

Now why are we sharing a movie trailer for “pitch perfect 2” that just hit the air waves moments ago on the Ellen Show you ask? Well it’s because none other then WWE’s CJ Perry better known as “The Ravishing Russian Lana” is making an appearance on the big screen once again. Now if you’re unfamiliar with the first film “pitch perfect” Lana made a few cameos and it looks like she’s back in a more featured role perhaps? I was a huge fan of the first film so I can’t wait to lay my eyes on the sequel.

Speaking for everyone here at vasquezsports we’re so happy for CJ and can’t wait to see the film. What about you guys are you excited? Let us know in the comments below.

Leslie Smith Update

20141120-121549.jpg

Unless your not an MMA fan or you’ve been living under a rock for the last 5 days then you would know about the gruesome injury women’s battemweight fighter Leslie “The peacemaker Smith sustained at UFC180 at the hands of Jessica “Evil” Eye. I mean that’s all social media was talking about… But if your not let’s catch you up to speed shall we? Feel free to (click on the link to see the injury happen)

But there’s good news for Smith fans. With only 5 days removed from injury the “peacemakers” ear looks almost as good as new. So props to the doctors that stitched her back together. Further more props to Smith for wanting to continue the fight and even props to Eye for finding a target and working on it.

It’s always good news when you see fighters heal up just fine. I look forward to what’s next for both Leslie Smith and Jessica Eye

TNA gets a new home

20141119-110028.jpg

As noted earlier the big announcement we had all been waiting for from Dixie Carter was revealed moments ago. The announcement was that TNA officially has a new home. The new home is none other then Destination America. Destination America is a channel known for celebrating and highlighting what makes the good o’l USA unique and what better way to do it then with wrestling?

Looks like Christmas has come early because this announcement is awesome. As someone who’s only been watching TNA for nearly 3 months I am thrilled that they’ll still be able to showcase what they have to offer, and I’m sure when I say that I’m speaking for long time fans as well

There’s a lot of people out there who think TNA is a 2nd rate show but really that’s not the case. Their in ring action is miles better then the stuff you see on Raw and their talent is filled with individuals who have wrestling in their veins.

Now I’m not saying WWE doesn’t have that. What I’m saying is the TNA roster does what they do for the LOVE of wrestling and nothing more, and that’s something that shows in the “6 sided ring”

So here’s to a bright future for TNA. Maybe now with this new tv deal people will wake up and see that it’s not just about the WWE. TNA is scheduled to air on Destination America stating January 2015. Talk about starting off the year with a bang

AJ Lee to leave WWE after Survivor Series??

20141116-190312.jpg

It’s that time again to fumble around the rumor mill. This weeks rumor involves WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee. it was reported earlier by wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez that the word going around is that if AJ does indeed drop her title to Nikki Bella at Survivor Series she may exit the company. This rumor was also reported on JR’s podcast “The Ross report” (Read the original report here) http://wrestlingnews.co/report-aj-lee-may-be-leaving-wwe-after-survivor-series/)

AJ who started “officially” with WWE in 2010 as a diva hopeful on the 3rd season of NXT. Since then she has been a 3 time divas champion (one of which was the longest regin of all time), Raw’s general manager, she dropped what some call the “best promo from a diva ever”, she’s had multiple on screen love interest with some of the biggest stars in the business and main evented multiple Raw’s. With all that in mind one must ask the question what is left for her to do?

As a former fan myself I say this with no disrespect, I think that if she does indeed leave it’ll force WWE to focus on other women on the roster and even perhaps call up some new blood from NXT. Truly AJ hanging it up would be more of a help then a hindrance.

We must also take into consideration that she is married to former WWE superstar CM Punk and it wouldn’t surprise me if she wants to focus on just her married life. Not to mention this isn’t the first time the rumor mill has come up with the subject of AJ leaving.

So will AJ Lee truly hang up her chuck Taylor’s or will she be around for awhile? Will we see a new Divas champ at survivor series? All this and more will be answered in the future.

STAY TUNED!

A decade of badassery

20141031-161328.jpg

Do you remember what you were doing on October 31st 2003? My 12 year old self was trick or treating in my neighborhood dressed as the infamous Jason Voorhees. I remember I used my brothers Friday the 13th mask covered in blood, my ensemble included a gray long sleeve thermal, with a jean jacket over it, topped off with some ripped up jeans splattered in blood. (Fake of corse) it wasn’t the best but my mom made do and honestly it’s a moment I treasure especially because my mom is no longer with me.

I’m sure some of you where trick or treating as well. Or maybe you were taking your kids out for candy? Maybe you were at a party or watching scary movies?

That is unless you were Shayna Baszler. October 31st 2003 is when Shayna Baszler made her pro mma debut at the age of 23, in a barn in the middle of nowhere for a local MMA show then known as NHB (no holds bard) for an organization called RCF (Reality Cage Fighting). Her opponent? Tina Johnson a girl that had been running her mouth because no one had beaten her. Shayna coming from a family of wrestlers wanted nothing more then to put an end to the trash talk. Little did she know it would become something she loved and through that love become the “queen of spades.

Of corse Baszler went on to defeat Johnson that night and has been proving since then that she is one of the best time and time again. Defeating the likes of Alexis Davis, Sarah D’alellio, Julie Kedzie, Roxanne Modaferri, Megumi Yabyushita and so much more. I mean some people even say she should’ve got the decision win over Sara Mcmann. Nonetheless her 15-9 record speaks for itself.Sure it’s been a battle of highs and lows even a few injuries but that doesn’t take away all Baszler has accomplished in the sport and done for the sport as a whole. Today she is regarded as one of the pioneers who paved the way for WMMA

Sure I may have not been there since Baszler’s humble beginnings but I have been there for 416 days and those are days that I am proud of. After all I’ve gotten the nickname “the general of the queens army” on social media.

A lot can change in 11 years but one thing that hasn’t changed is Shayna’s passion and drive for what she does, so here’s to a bright future of epic battles, awesome promos, twitter wars and just straight up badassery.

More news on new TNA tv deal

20141029-150406.jpg

It was reported earlier that TNA executive Vice President John Gaburick was in New York finalizing a TV deal for TNA. However now TNA executive Bob Ryder is dismissing that entire claim.

According to Ryder Ganurick is actually currently in Nashville TN but he was indeed in NY this past weekend. It is also stated that on Monday they look to start some new tapings in NY. Also according to an article on wrestling inc (http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/1029/584444/more-on-new-tna-tv-deal/) Dixie Carter is said to make some type of announcement Friday.

We will keep reporting on this story as more information becomes available.

UFC 184 set to take place at Staples Center in Los Angeles

20141029-144924.jpg

Guys I think I’m on the verge of having a panic attack but in the best way possible. UFC184 is coming to my neck of the woods… (Well my future neck of the woods) Los Angeles California, on February 28th 2014. The excitement doesn’t stop there though because UFC president Dana White took to Instagram today to announce that on that card we will see UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey defend her title against challenger Cat Zingano in the co main event. (That bout was originally scheduled for UFC 182 on January 3rd in Las Vegas) also on the card for UFC184 will be Chris Weidman defending his middle weight title against challenger Vitor Bellfort in the main event.

You can check out the video here http://instagram.com/p/uwCxy7vA3p/

This is a HUGE deal for me because I’ve seen 2/4 of the 4horsewomen fight live (marina Shafir and Shayna Baszler) and to be quite honest I always thought Rousey would be out of my reach since her fights tend to always be in vegas. I’ll be moving to LA in December so the timing is perfect.

I can assure you that if I do indeed attend UFC184 I’ll give you guys play by play exclusive coverage on our twitter account @vasquezsports

Is there anyone like me that’s super excited about this announcement? Let me know by sounding off in the comments.
