CM Punk “Art of wrestling Podcast” with Colt Cabana

20141128-170720.jpg

With all the Thanksgiving festivities going on like stuffing your face until you can no longer move, spending time with family, watching football games or participating in Black Friday maybe you haven’t gotten a chance to lay your ears on the latest edition of Colt Cabana’s “Art of wrestling” Podcast.
Colt Cabana’s guest was none other then his best friend CM Punk

In the podcast Punk discuss a number of things that led to his WWE departure the night after Royal Rumble 2014. The podcast dropped right on the midnight mark on Thanksgiving Day and it sent the inter web into a frenzy, so bad that the site of the podcast crashed. That’s right folks Cabana and Punk broke the Internet.

Rightfully so though because this podcast delivers the hard hitting questions and answers to everything that pretty much every wrestling fan had on their mind in regards to Punks departure.

Now thanks to the incredible invention that is YouTube we have that very podcast right here for you without any technical difficulties. If you’re a punk fan or where at one point you’re going to want to set aside two hours and listen to this. Trust me its GOOD

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

Wrestling Alternatives

With the future of TNA being in limbo recently, until finding a new home on Destination America, many people are wondering and thinking about its future. While the WWE is the “granddaddy” of them all, it’s always nice to have another option to look at. From independent organizations to smaller companies like Ring of Honor and the new up and coming Lucha Underground, what would the wrestling world be like without a TNA? The WWE is easily the most popular professional wrestling company, but would that mean the quality of its product will go down with no fear of “major” competition, or will it remain the same, being aware of any new promotions on the block. Even so, WWE is, as of now, miles ahead of the competition. However, who’s to say that there won’t be another WCW springing up in the coming years with that amount of steam and praise? It’s good to have multiple options to choose from if the main one offered (this case the WWE), is doing something that you don’t necessarily like or find entertaining. Here’s to hoping the best for TNA and much success to the future of other professional wrestling promotions.
