CM Punk & Colt Cabana round 2

20141205-115648.jpg

You read the title right folks, CM Punk returned to the “art of wrestling” podcast to sit down with his buddy Colt Cabana. This podcast is a little more laid back and is more of a conversation amongst friends. However Punk touches on a few WWE things such as WWE not wanting him to be on LA Ink or a slim Jim sponsor, the Vince McMahon apology and of corse the cm punk chants. If you are or (were) a punk fan you’re going to want to listen to this one. https://m.soundcloud.com/coltcabana/aow-227-cm-punk-returns

Dixie Carter Responds To Vince McMahon

Dixie-Carter

In a interview for the Royal Ramblings blog at Huffington Post, TNA President Dixie Carter, who discussed TNA’s move to Destination America, responded to Vince McMahaon saying that TNA wasn’t major competition for WWE:

“Well I think it’s ridiculous to say that we’re not competition. If we weren’t competition they wouldn’t try to stop our growth at every turn. We’re both wrestling companies and so competing for the same networks internationally and the same ticket sales globally and therefore you are competitors but all we can do is focus on what we do best. My big focus for 2015 is to further distinguish our product from anybody else’s out there. What can we do better and what have we been doing great that we can take to another level. We’re going to be announcing in the coming weeks some really exciting changes to our show and that’s a big part – trying to make our brand more distinctive than not just WWE but other wrestling companies around the world.”
