CM Punk otherwise known as Phil Brooks was one of the best, most captivating and most talked about wrestlers in the world.

CM Punk was controversy, CM Punk was anti authority, CM Punk connected with millions of fans all over the world.

I loved and still do love CM Punk Character it really connected with me and I brought the Cm Punk T shirts, DVDs and even fleece jackets. I even flew from London to New York to see Wrestlemaina 29 and see CM Punk vs Undertaker in 2013 live with Pro Wrestling Report Dameon Nelson and David Herro and my best friend Dominic.

My friend Dominic was a lapsed wrestling fan in 2013 but once he saw CM Punk vs Undertaker, he was jumping out of his seat at near falls and got caught up in the drama of the match at the end of it he said to me "I realise now why you love this so much, that CM Punk is bloody good what a match" - that was the power CM Punk had and how good CM Punk was he made my friend a fan again.

A few months later In 2014 CM Punk decided that he had enough of wrestling and of WWE and decided to leave (after he was served his release papers by WWE on his wedding day). It was a decision that shocked the whole of the wrestling world and fans have be clamouring for his return for years since.

CM Punk had fallen out of love with wrestling, he was frustrated, injured and completely burnt out by what he was doing. 

Wrestling was what CM Punk Loved he did it for years and had a passion for it, but that passion died away and suddenly, the thing he loved the most became the thing he despised the most.

Some fans don't understand it but now having some life experience I understand it 100% although in my case a completely different way. 

Having been in a job since I was 18 years old, something I loved and had a passion for I left after 14 years last year and I was miserable.

 I had been worked too hard for too long, with lack of support and help I ended up off work for a few months and needed alot of help and support emotionally to help me move forward.

 Ultimately I ended up leaving that job. 

After 14 years, the thing I loved doing was now the thing I despised and I had to leave it in order to be happy. 

I could still do that job now and be back in that industry but thinking about it makes me feel so unhappy i don't want to go back to that, it doesn't motivate me or make me feel any passion in my heart. (Side Note - I'm much happier now in 2019 and life and work is great)

CM Punk (Phil Brooks) Left what made him unhappy and hasn't been back to wrestling since (well maybe under a mask maybe......) he then went on to move into UFC and to have 2 fights in UFC, Write comic books and also to commentate on MMA he went and followed his passions and the thing that he loved, that made him happy and feel better.

If CM Punk does come back to wrestling (AEW) there will be no one happier than me, of course I want to see it, to me CM Punk vs Kenny Omega is a match that needs to happen, and would be one of the best matches in wrestling history in my opinion.

However if CM Punk thinks of Wrestling and it makes him feel unhappy and doesn't fulfil him then he shouldn't do it. 

If wrestling makes him happy and its something he has a passion for again then follow your heart 

I'm a fan but my best advice....... just do in life what you love.

Thanks for Reading

WWE Royal Rumble 2013 Ziggler is Lucky Number 1 (or 2) Dolph Ziggler This Sunday 27th January 2013 WWE Royal Rumble will air. Generally One of the best WWE PPV's of the year. This year 30 Man Royal Rumble match has alot of intrigue built into it most people are of the opinion that John Cena will be winning this years event and then go on to face The Rock at Wrestlemania.

WWE TV in UK 2024 Will it Stay on TNT Sports, Move Back to Sky or Somewhere new?

In 2020 WWE signed a multi year deal with TNT Sports (BT Sport at the time) to air WWE programming WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and WWE NXT.  Channel 5 also airs highlights of WWE RAW and WWE Smackdown but on a week delay - Channel 5 is a free to air channel here in the UK.  Last week I received an email as a WWE Network subscriber here in the UK to inform me that I could now watch WWE NXT every week on WWE Network from 3rd Jan 2024. So this email got me thinking - is the WWE/TNT Sports UK TV deal coming up soon? it looks possible. Looking at the original story of the deal being made in 2020 multiple sources claim that it is a "multi year deal" See below  ( https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28113145/wwe-smackdown-raw-watch-uk-tv-bt-sport/)     I could not find how many specific years that was., However I thought i'd give my opinion on where WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown could end up in 2024, The rights fee's obviously are alot less than there are in ...

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018   Hello Wrestling fans! Welcome to the first ever Strike Wrestling Results blog!  I went to Bournemouth and took x2 trains and a bus to get there and it was well worth the effort. Before I get to the wrestling a bit about Bournemouth Bournemouth is a beautiful town it was a sunny hot day. I managed to go to the beach and see the pier and get a great view from Bournemouth on top of the cliffs, where there were also many of great restaurants and places to eat. Check out my on the road video on Strike Wrestling by clicking the video below! This was my first show at Strike Wrestling and Strike is an over 18’s show so I was expecting a different vibe, feel and presentation to family orientated wrestling that I have attended in the past. Strike wrestling is high paced, hard hitting, fast action but with a huge streak of entertainment, fun and having a great time.   Fr...
