ByEvan F. Moore @evanFmoore | email
After fighting together on the same side and winning a defamation lawsuit two months ago, Colt Cabana and CM Punk are now on opposite sides of a legal battle.
Cabana, whose real name is Scott Colton, is suing UFC fighter CM Punk, whose real name is Phillip Jack Brooks, for breach of contract and fraud in Cook County Circuit Court.
Cabana and Punk have close friends since their days in Chicago’s independent pro wrestling circuit.
Cabana’s lawsuit contends Punk promised to help him out with the legal bills they amassed fighting the defamation lawsuit. Cabana claims Punk told him in a text that he would be “100% covered.”
Punk has failed to keep that promise, leaving him with unpaid legal bills totaling $513,736, according to the lawsuit.
Punk asked Cabana to pay half of the legal fees, which comes out to $256,868, saying “You are on your own.”
Cabana is asking for $200,000 in general damages, along with $1 million in punitive and exemplary damages, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims “Brooks acted with fraud, malice and oppression toward Colton, with the deliberate intention of causing Colton harm.”
Cabana is the host of “The Art of Wrestling,” a podcast where he discuss issues surrounding wrestling, along having fellow pro wrestlers on the show as guests.
Punk, a former wrestler, was Cabana’s guest on an episode, where he addressed the litany of issues he had during his time with the WWE, most notably his issue with his medical treatment.
The former world champion addressed a misdiagnosis of a staph infection and wrestling in the immediate aftermath of a concussion.

Depends on the state and most of the time would require an additional suit against the loser, I believe.
CM Punk getting sued by Colt Cabana is a better storyline than anything happening in WWE r/n tbh

I think his anger is going the wrong way, CM Punk is the piece of shit here.
CM Punk got Colt into this mess.
CM Punk won the court case in part due to Colt.
CM Punk said he would pay the legal bills.
CM Punk SHOULD pay the legal bills.
CM Punk is a miserable person who has ever only been good at one think in his life, and he quit cause he wasn't as big of a star as he thought he was. Backstabbing his "friend" over $250k is bogus. Dude made three times that much in his UFC fight. Maybe if he was so concerned about money he shouldn't have quit the job making millions a year cause Vince and Hunter wouldn't let him main event Wrestlemania.
Instead he decides to stab his friend in the back.
Now that I've read more about it I think Colt will lose.
If all the evidence of Punk agreeing to pay for legal costs was a text and not a contract of any kind, I can't see how it would 'hold up' in Court

Chicago Sun-Times report has a lot more details with the biggest being it seems Cabana was never that interested in being involved in the defamation lawsuit to begin with and a big reason why he had a meeting with WWE behind Punk's back in late 2016.
Report also revealed their falling out as friends actually occurred a lot earlier and Punk felt Cabana was no longer trust worthy in his case.
However, Cabana alleges that he received an April 2016 email from Punk regarding a financial billing Punk had received from his legal representatives, Loeb & Loeb, with Punk writing, "To date I have spent $513,736 dollars on this Amman lawsuit. My outstanding bill is at least 300K. Half of all this is yours. Divide the 513,736 by 2 that is what you owe me and what I expect you to pay me. Starting now, I will no longer be paying your bills. You are on your own. Whatever my bill is currently, will be cut in half and half will be yours. If you choose to make this all ugly, that's fine too. I hope you won't, but I gave up on you doing what is right a long time ago."
Also seems Punk's contract breach revolves around the legal fees for Cabana's own lawyers after he got dropped by Punk's legal team and not what Punk owed him prior to the dropping.

They have a signed agreement from what I read. Punk paid for a year then changed him mind, probably after Gall whipped his ass and Phil realized he wasn't gonna be a huge UFC Star.

Also, from the start Punk convinced Colt not to comply with Ahmans lawyers, and said his lawyers would handle it.
Seems he got dragged into the proceedings because he lawyered up with Punk.
That makes a lot of sense to me as why Colt was even in the defamation case, because he was nothing but a interviewer. Well now we know it's because he got roped into it by Punk, Punks lawyer, and became a participant in the ongoing lawsuit.
I wonder about the timing of the WWE meeting in comparison to when Punk changed his mind about paying.
If Punk backed out AFTER Colt met with WWE, it is still not legal but at least it gives a reason.
If Punk backed out FIRST, which I'm guessing is what happened because Colt had his own lawyers then, well that makes the most sense. An independent lawyer not tied to Punk would immediately advise Colt to take whatever meetings he could to try and get himself removed from the lawsuit.
In fact, I think Punks lawyers for in touch with Colt after the WWE meeting and got him to come back to their legal team at that time. Colt was again told at that point all the billing would be Punks responsibility, not Colts.
Punk made nice with Colt so Colt remained part of the lawsuit instead of getting himself removed. I think keeping them together was why Ahman lost, because no matter what was said, the courts were never gonna agree freedom of the press would be sacrificed over a podcast about wrestling.
The fact that Punk immediately balked at the bill as soon as the lawsuit was dismissed shows he was planning on defrauding Colt likely since the 2016 email about Colt being in his own.
Thus, I stuck with my initial assessnent, CM Punk is a miserable person. I hope Colt wins

Dr. Amman is the one who brought Colt into the lawsuit as a co-defendant with Punk. Punk (allegedly) simply offered to pay the legal fees on Colt's behalf, probably because it would benefit him in the lawsuit to have shared defense counsel.
WWE wasn't even a party to the lawsuit. This was a lawsuit between the individual people Dr. Amman and Colt & Punk. Thus, Colt meeting with WWE reps would have had no legal impact re: settling the previous case with Dr. Amman.
It sounds like Colt simply was promised to have his legal fees covered by Punk when it looked better for Punk to have a shared defense. This makes sense because if Punk was paying for shared legal counsel with Colt, Colt could not assert any cross-claims against Punk or attempt to prove that Punk was solely liable for Dr. Amman's defamation. For whatever reason, Punk allegedly later changed his mind on paying Colt's legal fees.

Colt even said if he would have not listened to Punk and just took down the podcast, he wouldn't have had any legal fees.
He didnt respond because Punk told him not to, and that let my lawyers handle it, and you are 100% covered.

Didn't CM Punk buy Joey Mercury's house for him so he wouldn't be out on the street? Punk's a complicated person, and he does seem like a narcissistic ass, but I don't think he's an evil son of a bitch. There is probably more going on here, as there is when a lot of friendships explode.
Reading Colt's side, and I might be off on the legal particulars, but I know I wouldn't expect anyone to pay my court fees. Like, I'd maybe go after Amann for them, if anyone, since he's the one who sued me. But it sounds like Colt is a bit...naive? It does also sound desperate to go after a friend to pay your court stuff by using the court system. I guess the indies aren't paying Colt too well right now.
But if it drives Punk into working for ROH, then I'm all for it. I'm still bitter at the guy for suggesting Luke Gallows has talent.

You know what's petty, Noid? Getting excited at the possibility of Punk working for ROH after being sued by the person he considered his best friend. I recently shared a small portion of my family member's interaction with him. Not the nicest guy to do business with. In my personal opinion, he's a bit of a narcissist. Has an unreasonable opinion on folks who don't want to have tattoos and left the Joey Mercury bit in the documentary although he had a sizable amount of creative control for the project.

Punk paid to keep it from being foreclosed on, he didn't buy him the house is though. Mercury had to pay it back. Pretty sure that's why he was even brought back to TV to be in the Straight Edge Society, so Punk could get paid back.
Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Colt Punks chances of losing that lawsuit would have been much worse. Cabana probably saved Phil from losing upwards of three million dollars. Phil should have been bending over backwards to cover the court costs.
Since he is a prick though, he went back on his word to screw his "best friend" over $200,000??? 3 million minus 200k, Punk comes out WAY ahead, but he is a pretty miserable asshole.
I hope his greedy vengeful actions do cost him an additional million on top of the 200k he tried to Welch on.

That's still an awesome thing to do for someone. I don't think CM Punk was booking WWE in 2010, but I might be wrong about that. He may have suggested Joey Mercury for the group, but I think it's a bit of a projection to suggest that he helped out Mercury to have a legit slave. He could have helped out a much bigger star if he wanted that.
Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Punk, no one would give a fuck about who Colt Cabana is in the first place.

Punk definitely suggested Mercury for the Straight Edge Society. He was attempting to get several of his friends into the group. Cliff Compton has said he was also set to come back to the group in late 2009/early 2010. Domino would've been discovered "down on his luck" and Punk would've "saved" him and shaved his hair like the rest.
Punk also got Cabana a dark match against Wade Barrett in 2011 right as Punk was getting red hot. It didn't result in Cabana getting signed back up but Punk still did go to bat for him. I'm a big fan of Colt and don't know enough about this situation to know whether or not the lawsuit is fair, but it's not like Punk was always a cock to him. Sad situation.

Yeah, I remember Punk going to bat for his friends. I think he even got Ace Steel into developmental for a while there. Or maybe they were just there at the same time? Anyway, I just don't buy the "Punk is always an asshole" narrative. The dude has been very vocal about who he supports in wrestling, and he's gone out of his way to get those people over.
There is probably more to the story, and I'm sure Punk has his part in it, but trying to spin his entire history to always be this 100% self-serving asshole is a bit much. He's a narcissist and an egomaniac that overrates his talent, skill and creativity though, don't get me wrong.

I don't think Punk was always this bad, but let's be honest, he made a hell of a mistake walking out on WWE.
I'm sure he regrets it, but he won't admit it. Especially now that he has failed in UFC, failed at a Reality TV show (which by the way was hosted by Miz, who unlike Punk HAS Main Evented Mania), which I'm sure irritated him too.
He is such a miserable person that he even keeps his wife from going back. If you believe anything AJ Lee said before she got with Punk, that wrestling was her dream, that it meant so much to her to be champion she got the date tattooed on her neck, then you can't tell me she wouldn't want to come back for all these big woman's events like Royal Rumble or Evolution.

So, a person's statements are more credible before they were married then after they were married simply because of who they married?
If so, why are AJ's statements prior to her marriage to Punk "more credible" than the statements she made after her marriage to Punk simply because she married Punk? Simply because of Punk's statements?
I could understand that if she'd married a legit diagnosed "crazy" person or a convicted criminal, but we're talking about a person who was (at least) arguably "screwed" by a corporation and/or the persons running the corporation. The legitimacy of his arguments are obviously up for debate, but you can't automatically use his statements to necessarily impugn her prior statements simply because they were married.

That is not what I was saying. I was saying I think Punk regrets walking away, even though he won't ever admit that. Punk has dug in so hard against pro wrestling that not only will he stay away, but his supportive wife will too, even if she would like to go back, obviously she sides with her spouse. Not faulting AJ for siding with her husband one bit.

08-12-2018, 02:53 AM
I think you're doing a lot of supposition there, xrod. Punk was going to be figured into a match against Triple H at WrestleMania XXX. He walked out because he wanted to. The door is open for him to go back any time. The crowd would call him a "hypocrite" all they want, he'll just rub it all in their faces -- "don't trust a snake." SmackDown could really use a heel to go against AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan...
He failed to launch a successful career in UFC win-loss wise, but I'm sure he got paid out the ass for those fights. Just like I'm sure he's been paid out the ass for the shitty comics he wrote and that reality TV appearance. Not sure why you're holding The Miz headlining WrestleMania over Punk as some sort of trophy or whatever. That's kind of the bullshit Punk was rallying against. And Punk basically stole The Miz's push out from under him when he cut down dudes who have shitty catchphrases that time on Raw. The Miz hasn't sniffed a legit main event since that year, by the way.
You kind of did say that AJ Lee would want to go back if it weren't for Punk, which is not necessarily the case. She was outspoken about a lot of issues there too, and publicly called out Stephanie McMahon on some shit. She's free to leave Punk and free to return on her own to the company. She's not a prisoner. Punk and Lee will both probably end up back working with them again. Or they'll take massive Sinclair contracts at some point. They're just fed up with the circus and doing shit they want to do right now, because they have a certain level of financial independence.
Punk just doesn't want to give money to Colt Cabana for some reason. Maybe he feels he's a spineless twat and doesn't feel obliged? Maybe he feels that Cabana has sapped too much off him in the past? Maybe he just figures he needs to stop giving hand-outs to his friends? All of this can be true independently of whether or not he is a dick.

Given that Cabana is being litigious here (now for some supposition of my own), I imagine that the friendship has eroded a while ago, because friends don't really sue friends. So there's obviously more to this story than Punk deciding to ruin a friendship out of the blue.
At Progress Chicago: Jim mentioned Chicago as the home of CM Punk. The WHOLE crowd booed and started a "Colt Cabana" chant.

I think Punk is/was pissed about the meeting between Colt and WWE during the lead up to the trial. Punk comes across as someone that could easily react out of “spite” when he feels he’s been crossed. It’s a shame because they were so close.

AJ Lee retired due to a neck injury not because of Punk.
Probably also due to having her own bad feelings towards the WWE and pretty much achieved everything possible for her career there.
Made it clear on at least one occasion, she wasn't fond of Stephanie's online PR antics. Legit called out the company for paying their female workers terrible wages and giving them next to nothing to work with for tv time.
Career-wise, she pretty much left at the best time possible. Bellas were already starting to stranglehold the division and she didn't seem to be too fond of them while the incoming Women's Revolution was going to push her to the side even more. Also retired right around the time most women wrestlers do since their careers tend to be a lot shorter for various reasons.

I think Punk is/was pissed about the meeting between Colt and WWE during the lead up to the trial. Punk comes across as someone that could easily react out of “spite” when he feels he’s been crossed. It’s a shame because they were so close.
Paranoid and vengeful.
Supposition on my part, but it seems like he figures "You're going to side with them and expect me to help you pay for shit, backstabber? Fuck that!" even if that meeting wasn't about all that.

Y'all making up a whole lot of shit though, haha. Was it about that meeting? Or is that just one public thing in these people's lives that you are latching onto? I'm sure Punk was pissed at the idea of Cabana selling him out. Who wouldn't be? If Disney decided to sue me (just a random example), and my best friend who was benefiting from my legal team decided to have a meeting to smooth things over on their end, I'd be livid. I wouldn't consider that "spiteful" at all. I'm not even trying to say that Punk isn't spiteful. It doesn't matter if he is or isn't -- Colt seems like a wormy fuck desperate for a buck, to be honest. He's the one suing.
