Austin Aries SHOOTS On WWE! Fans Turn On CM Punk! WrestleTalk News Video

Fans Turn On CM Punk

Cabana made headlines last Friday when it was revealed that he was suing his former best friend CM Punk for over $1 million in damages following their lawsuit against Dr. Chris Amann that spawned from a tell-all interview on The Art of Wrestling. We did a full news story which details the time-line, but if you missed it here’s the briefest rundown. Punk left WWE, did the podcast, said some stuff about Amann, podcast was a hit, Amann was upset, asked for it to be taken down, Punk told Cabana not to and allegedly signed a contract to cover his legal fees, Amann sued, Punk asked for Colt to pay half, Cabana said Punk had signed a contract, Punk and Cabana win the trial and Cabana sues Punk for breach of contract and fraud. I think that just about covers it?

CM Punk has been one of the most interesting names in wrestling over the last few years. Upon leaving WWE he was heralded a hero; the man who stuck it to Vince McMahon and WWE’s booking. But he’s always been polarising. Just the mention of his name on a message board or a YouTube comment sparks conversation with lots of differing points of views. But if there’s one thing that’s clear, it’s that the name CM Punk has been used by live WWE crowds as a way to show their displeasure at what they’re seeing in the ring. While this happened all over the United States and the rest of the world, it was at its peak in Chicago – CM Punk’s hometown. So popular was Punk among Chicago wrestling fans that just the announcement of him appearing at Starrcast in a few weeks became one of the biggest wrestling news items of the year , with many speculating his return to the wrestling ring will be announced for All In II next year. But as Bob Dylan once eloquently croaked, “the times they are a’changin’”.

UK-based promotion Progress is currently making its way across the United States, and did a show in Chicago over the weekend. The reports are that the crowd were hot all night, but there was a moment reported by one Reddit user with promoter Jim Smallman and the mention of a certain Chicago-based wrestler. “Jim mentioned Chicago as the home of CM Punk. The WHOLE crowd booed and started a ‘Colt Cabana’ chant.” Well, this will certainly makes his Starrcast appearance in Chicago interesting. Just wait until Cabana releases his Colt of Personality t-shirt.
