This day in Westling History

By -
Today is a happy day for a current WWE employee because he turns 33 years old today he name is Phillip Jack Brooks or as many of you know him as CM Punk. He started on the backyard wrestling scene in a local company. Where he wrestled until moving on IWA-MS an indy company owned by IAN Rottan where he won the Jr. Heavyweightght title & the World Title. He also had show stealer's with friends of his Chris Hero he had a 90 minute TLC Match with & many other matches, & vs Colt Cabana which Colt was and still is Punk's friend maybe even best friend. Because the two of them trained  together at the Steel Domino training academy in Chicago. He really didn't reach main stream success till his feud with Raven which took place in Ring Of Honor were he won the ROH World Title & Tag team titles. Before winning the gold he had show stealer's in ROH with future TNA Star Samoa Joe 2 time limit draws and one where Joe won and that set of matches are 3 of the best matches in ROH history. Speaking of TNA the work he did in ROH got him discovered by TNA who brought him a part of the new Raven's Flock until both him and Julio Dinero quit. By this time Punk is back in ROH and hunting for the title well he gets it by defeating A double Austin Aries. He won the gold and held for 55 short days well because it was then that the WWE offered him a developmental deal then on ROH shows he kept saying he was going to leave with the ROH world title sound familiar it should. Well Punk eventually lost the gold to former WWE star at that point James Gibson more known to people as Jamie Knoble. While in OVW Punk won every title there was to win their from the TV to the tag team to the world title and was called up by the middle of 2006 and was on the ECW brand.
While on the ECW brand Punk got over better than most would have expected winning the world title in around a year from John Morrison before he knew it he won the money in the bank in 2008 and made it to RAW. He joined Raw by winning the World Title from Edge in 2008 however losing it 4 months later after being kicked in the head by Randy Orton. From that point till mid 2010 Punk would win the Tag Belts with Kofi Kingston, IC Title, Money in the Bank, & another 2 World titles. He also feuded with Jeff Hardy in a very personal feud which even had Punk dress up like Hardy and mock his drug problems also sending Jeff out of WWE after beating him in a cage match. Also having a feud with Rey Mysterio in which he sang happy birthday to rey's daughter. Punk however didnt win another World title until july of 2011 which was 2 years from his last regin this year punk became a megastar cutting the first worked shoot on WWE programing ever. Also became the first person to "leave" with the WWE title only to comeback. I do admit punk flame has burnt dim in the last couple of months but still is destined to be a huge star.

Happy 33rd Birthday to CM Punk

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
