Was that CM Punk or PG Punk on TV last night?
Let’s get one thing straight. CM Punk is one of the most gifted wrestlers of his time. He’s also one of the absolute legends on the pro wrestling microphone. Put a microphone in his hand, and watch out. He will speak his mind, no matter where the shrapnel flies. Trust me. When you’re known for…

Before this blog post gets underway, I need to explain a few wrestling terms. A “work” is when two wrestlers look like they want to beat the shit out of each other in the ring, but it’s all scripted action and both men are working together to achieve the result. A “shoot” is when one…

Max Caster and Anthony Bowens come to the ring with one of the coolest entrances – Caster throws diss tracks at the opponents, while Bowens hypes up the crowd with shouts of “The Acclaimed Have Arrived!” Don’t believe me?

Anthony Bowens could have been just another up-and-coming professional wrestler. He also competed in several independent programs, and even had a match or two on the WWE’s developmental NXT…
