WR's Screencaps

Ethan Andrews vs Luke Caruso: Welcome to My World (88Wrestling) Ethan puts another rookie through the wringer in this match from 88Wrestling. The Anaconda Vise was innovated by New Japan wrestler Hiroyoshi Tenzan and popularized by CM Punk. Rebuttal to Myself Are people disappointed that I'm leaning towards CM Punk's side? Try to convince me otherwise! If anyone is to blame for all of AEW's dramas it's Tony Khan for not asserting his leadership or implementing a stronger management structure. I put a lot of time and effort into my coverage of CM Punk vs The Elite , so if would appreciate some sort of feedback from anyone.   One thing is clear - I will be more careful about which non-underground wrestling topics to cover in the future. It's no fun "shouting into the void!"

CM Punk - "I haven't spoken (about Colt Cabana) in, I don't know how long, so I'm a little pissed off..." Did CM Punk premeditate his comments towards Colt Cabana, The Elite and Adam Page? According to this report , CM Punk had been planning his rant for weeks.  I suspect it was a worked-shoot, similar to MJF's promo on Tony Khan back in June. Perhaps certain people had an idea of what Punk was going to say, but didn't realize he would go so far. Unfortunately, CM Punk tore his left triceps at AEW All Out , so it's unlikely Punk will be able to wrestle until mid-2023. Nonetheless, kudos to CM Punk for cutting the most provocative promo in years, in my opinion. If you haven't seen my coverage of CM Punk's media scrum , please check it out. I think it...

I'm sure most pro wrestling fans have heard about the drama involving CM Punk and "The Elite" (The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega) and Adam Page, which boiled over following CM Punk's media scrum at  AEW All Out. There's heat between them because a member of "The Elite" told Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer that Punk was the reason their friend Colt Cabana (real name Scott Colton) was almost fired and then sent to Ring of Honor, a demotion from AEW. Punk addressed the rumor before anyone could even ask him a question. By the way, AEW President and CEO Tony Khan was seated next to Punk and did nothing to stop him. Punk - "Why I decide not to be friends with somebody is nobody else's fuckin' business." Punk went into detail on why he and Colton fell out anyway. Colton sued Punk for not honoring a verbal agreement and paying all of his legal bills. (Punk and Colton contested a lawsuit against the WWE.)  Punk said they mutually agreed to...

    I'm sure you've all heard the news by now, Vince McMahon has retired from the WWE. Personally, I think it's time, especially considering the scandals that's he's involved in. From a creative standpoint, the WWE has been on a downward slide since 2001. The last decade in particular has been painfully mediocre. I checked out of watching closely in 2010. Can the new regime turn it around? I'm not sure, but I'm hopeful. What do you think? Feel free to comment below. To commemorate this event, I dedicate my "song of the week" to Vince. Apparently Vince loved it when the crowd would sing this song to departing wrestlers. Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye performed by Steam.
