This day in Westling History
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
