CM Punk hates Colt Cabana now - the bromance is DEAD

[slik]

Wrestling Inc. reader Jake Murray recently sent us an email noting that CM Punk and Colt Cabana no longer follow each other on Twitter. I didn't think too much of it, however apparently there is more to it. MMA insider Front Row Brian, who has broken many MMA stories in the past, noted today that Punk is apparently upset with Cabana for going backstage at an episode of Monday Night RAW. As noted, WWE's Dr. Chris Amann filed a lawsuit in February of 2015 against Punk and Cabana due to comments made on Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast in 2014. Amann claims that his reputation has suffered as a result of the comments made by Punk and is seeking more than $1 million in compensatory damages as well as an undetermined amount of punitive damages. Punk apparently felt that Cabana going to the WWE event hurts his defense against Amann.

Also, Hornswoggle recently revealed that CM Punk stopped talking to him because Hornswoggle had asked him for a mutual friend's phone number. Hornswoggle said that it was for someone that Punk is best friends with until this day, and Punk thought that Hornswoggle was using him, even though they had "rode together for years."


Hornswoggle also talked about first meeting The Rock, and The Rock thinking that he was a Make-A-Wish kid on the first night that he returned to be revealed as the host of WrestleMania 27. "I was very excited to meet The Rock, obviously he's one of the biggest stars in entertainment and wrestling," Hornswoggle said. He said that he wore a suit jacket and had his bag and waited for Rock in Gorilla. The Rock then came back, patted Hornswoggle on the back and asked, "did you have a good time tonight, buddy?" Then Rock walked off and realized it, and said to Big Show, 'Hornswoggle thinks I thought he was a Make a Wish kid, and I did think he was.'"

[Black Widow]

Completely Miserable Punk.

Needs to be concerned with his massacre coming up.

[Droford]

Maybe he thought dropping Colt Cabana would help him lose the 20 lbs he needs to lose in the next 7 days in order to make weight for his fight.

[Evil Vito]

I get the sense that CM Punk will end up being more secluded from society than Brock Lesnar before all is said and done.

It's a very CM Punk morning. #MorningOfPunk

[Emperor Smeat]

From what I've read, the source himself has a lot of credibility issues since he's been wrong a lot in the past for stories.

Possible those two don't hang out as much now due to Punk's UFC stuff but if its true, pretty dumb thing Colt did considering the circumstances.

[Innovator]

Front Row Brian is full of shit the overwhelming majority of the time

[Destor]

Only guy who could out bitter Bret Hart

[Heisenberg]

This is not the KC and JoJo thread, I'll be on my way. My apologies

[Rammsteinmad]

I don't really care about this lawsuit or who's right or wrong or whatever.

But fuck, it always irks me when I read about someone demanding millions and millions due to their "reputation being damaged".

How is it dumb, though? Should Colt not be able to hang out backstage at Raw? He was probably just visiting friends. Did he take pictures with the doctor or even speak to him? Just because Punk broke the news on Colt's show, I don't see how that should keep Colt away. Is there something I'm missing here?

I'd imagine if it's just based on Cabana being present, then it's because Punk alleged an unsafe or dangerous environment and by appearing there, Cabana, as Punk's close friend whom he spoke with at length about WWE's enivornment, could substantially hurt this allegation. In addition, where they wouldn't be able to without Cabana speaking with them, anyone in WWE whom Cabana spoke with can be called to counter or dispute any of Caban's claims or testimony regarding the environment of WWE.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought he meant that WORKING there was unsafe or dangerous. Not the catering.

[Innovator]

Well Cabana is also a Defendant in the suit. Why go to the place that is funding a lawsuit of one of their employees against you and your friend?

[BigCrippyZ]

But fuck, it always irks me when I read about someone demanding millions and millions due to their "reputation being damaged".

Why? The reputation of doctors, lawyers, executives, entertainers, celebrities, athletes, politicians, etc. have substantial monetary value because of the impact their reputations have on their careers and earnings.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why would DX show up at Nitro? Because suck it, that's why. Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation.

[BigCrippyZ]

I thought he meant that WORKING there was unsafe or dangerous. Not the catering.

IF Punk's alleging the working environment is unsafe, that includes any part or the environment, including functions or procedures that are typically used or utilized by employees, such as catering in this case. It's the environment as a whole that's unsafe or harmful to employees or anyone else present, not the act of working there that's dangerous in itself. I.e., Working in the ring may be safe but catering may be dangerous because of employees fighting over food, or slipping and falling on spilled food or, as in this case, employees, including doctors, allegedly not examining and treating a patient within the legal standard of care they're required to.

[Frank Drebin]

From Punk's point of view as well as anyone on his legal team, what good could come of Colt visiting? Would be best to stay away until it goes through litigation.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I guess that all makes enough sense. Really sad to see everything coming down to this for all parties involved.

[Frank Drebin]

Looking foward to Punk's return for WM in 2019.

[BigCrippyZ]

From Punk's point of view as well as anyone on his legal team, what good could come of Colt visiting? Would be best to stay away until it goes through litigation.

Absolutely right. Not a damn thing good can happen from a legal perspective. Obviously, Cabana may simply not care. It's just stupid to have any actual interaction or communication between the parties, or even risk any potential for it to occur or be alleged to have occurred. Everything should be done through each party's attorneys.

[Frank Drebin]

Huge swerve incoming when Colt drops out of the suit and agrees to testify on behalf of WWE.

WWE lawyer: "If the working conditions are so bad, why did this man return to said environment? He even talked to (so and so) and was offered a position with the company."

[Anybody Thrilla]

Scotty Goldman is tagging with Curt Hawkins to face The Headbangers on Main Event.

[Stickman]

It seems like CM Punk has one of the worst attitudes of all time. Sounds like he can't get along with anybody and is miserable.

[Cool King]

Scotty Goldman is tagging with Curt Hawkins to face The Headbangers on Main Event.

Is it bad that I would actually watch that if it happened?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nah, I totally would too. They're only one ingredient away from it.

[Tom Guycott]

1) Love how "not following eachother on twitter anymore" automatically equates to "ZOMG, NUCLEAR HEAT! SO MUCH HATE!!,1!"

2) Everyone here missed a layup with an "in the doghouse" joke. How disappointing.
