Former WWE Superstar CM Punk (Phil Brooks) has joined Marvel Comics as a writer. Punk will team up with artist Rob Guillory for February’s Thor Annual #1. Punk talked with Ryan Penagos of Marvel.com about how things have gone so far:
“I Think it helps that I picked (an) artist who I was already friends with, and can speak freely to. I think he’ll get it, you know what I mean? I think the e-mails that we’ve sent back and forth now regarding the story, you could probably print. I just think they’re entertaining. “Hey, what if we do this?” and it turns into the next big e-mail chain. It’s hilarious.”
Johnny Mundo and Prince Puma will likely be forced to overcome more obstacles thrown at them by the frustrated owner Dario Cueto.

John Cena VS Ryback:
Is Ryback’s clash with Cena the powerhouse’s final test before he’s officially offered a spot on Team Authority, or is The Authority just trying to soften up Cena?
How will AJ Lee retaliate against Nikki Bella?
Is Dean Ambrose secretly afraid of Bray Wyatt? As Wyatt continues to pry into Ambose’s troubled past to coax Ambrose into an alliance, how will Ambrose repel this psychological onslaught?
Will more Team Cena members emerge?
Can anyone stop the new United States Champion (Rusev)?
I seen the first 2 episodes of the new Lucha Libre show Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network and I found it to be a different kind of show from what you get with WWE or TNA. Lucha Underground features luchadores/wrestlers such as Blue Demon Jr., Mil Muertes (former TNA Star Judas Mesias), female luchadore Sexy Star, former WCW & TNA star Konnan who is mentoring Prince Puma, former WWE Star John Morrison (Johnny Mundo), former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson (Big Ryck), former WWE, WCW & TNA star Chavo Guerrero Jr. & commentators former WWE star Matt Striker & former WCW star Vampiro.
Lucha Underground lets the women compete against the men. In the first episode Son of Havoc ( Matt Cross) faced female luchadore Sexy Star. Son of Havoc got the win but it wasn’t easy, Sexy Star put up good fight. In the second episode Sexy Star teamed up with Chavo to defeat Son of Havoc & female luchadore Ivelisse. Son of Havoc ( Matt Cross) was on WWE’s Tough Enough. Ivelisse also was on WWE’s Tough Enough and appeared in WWE’s development promotion Florida Championship Wrestling and on WWE’s NXT and she also appeared on TNA Impact Wrestling in a Gut Check match. Later that night on episode 2 Blue Demon Jr. was being assaulted by Mil Muertes and Chavo came down & it appeared was to help Blue Demon Jr. but instead attacked him with a steel chair. Chavo then took out the refs & a few other luchadores. Sexy Star came down & pleaded for Chavo to stop but Chavo flattened her with a chair shot to her face. You just don’t see that in WWE or TNA.
So if your looking for something different than WWE or TNA then you might want to give Lucha Underground a try. Lucha Underground airs on the El Rey Network Wednesday nights at 8PM ET. If you don’t get El Rey you might find it On Demand that’s where I was able to watch it.

WWE officially announced that SmackDown will be moving from Fridays back to Thursday nights at 8/7 C pm on Syfy starting January 15, 2015.
The move was originally reported in August when a photograph was revealed of a SmackDown trailer with Thursdays 8/7 C on the side.
SmackDown which debuted in 1999, originally aired on Thursday nights until it moved to Fridays on September 9, 2005.
There is a lot of speculation that Vince McMahon’s return to RAW could indicate that WWE is going forward with major WrestleMania angle they had planned for last year but was dropped.
There was a plan to build a power struggle between Mr. McMahon and Triple H & Stephanie McMahon for WrestleMania 30. At one point WWE wanted to do Steve Austin VS Triple H. The feud obviously never happened and the idea was dropped.
So now with recent reports of a possible The Rock VS Triple H at WrestleMania 31, and with Mr. McMahon’s appearance on RAW announcing that if Team Authority loses at Survivor Series then The Authority is out of power, there is speculation that WWE may be bringing back the dropped angle with The Rock replacing Austin on Mr. McMahon’s side.
