Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania X-7

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin def. The Rock (c) in a No Disqualifications Match for the WWF World Championship in 28:08

The “My Way” package to set us up here and it’s famously great. JR is surprised at the No DQ stipulation as Stone Cold makes his way to the ring. The Texas crowd love Stone Cold and they hate Rock, kind of by obligation though because they love the hometown boy. What a clash this one is! The two biggest stars at the culmination of arguably the most iconic era in WWE history.

Austin attacks the second Rock finishes his entrance, and then hits him with the belt. Lou Thesz Press and they go back and forth at a million miles an hour. Rock Bottom attempt, Stunner attempt, Stunner attempt from Rock, and Austin sends him outside. They brawl and fight into the crowd briefly before coming back to the announce table. Back and forth with big blows and then back in the ring. This is a fast paced start. Austin lifts Rock up top and hits a superplex for two. Austin exposes the turnbuckle and Rock fights his way back into it, leading to a big flying clothesline and arm drag. He sends him outside and they have the crowd eating out of their hands. This one’s a spectacle without trying. Rock smashes Austin into the timekeeper’s table and Austin comes back with a ring bell to the face. Austin has the upper hand and Rock is bleeding. Rock clambers onto the announce table while referee Hebner speaks with Austin, and the table collapses, which was very funny. Austin sends him inside and is lining up every punch. He tries to smash him into the turnbuckle but Rock stops him. He gets a bit of offense in and the crowd boo loudly, but Austin counters and the crowd are elated. He stomps a mudhole in the Rock and walks it dry as he is one to do to his opponents, and then grinds the knee into the face. Austin briefly lashes out at Hebner and comes out of the corner with a big clothesline. He hits another and a flurry into the corner, then throwing him into the exposed turnbuckle. He grabs the ring bell and hits Stone Cold, who’s now bleeding too, but he kicks out! Rock hits punches as Austin staggers all over the ring. Rock attacks Austin as he hangs over the apron and he falls to the flaw. Austin fights back at the barricade and catapults the Rock into the ring post. Austin hits Rock with a monitor and these two are a wreck right now. Back inside but only a two-count. They get up, middle fingers to Rock, but he spins around the Stunner and locks in the Sharpshooter! Austin is similarly bloody to his bout with Bret Hart! Austin eventually gets to the ropes, which breaks the hold, which kind of doesn’t make sense but oh well. Austin reverses another Sharpshooter attempt and Austin locks it in himself! The blood is absurd here, and Rock powers out but Austin stays on top. Austin locks it in again but Rock gets the ropes. Austin flips off Hebner and eventually lets go of the hold. Austin locks in the Million Dollar Dream! Now that’s another great callback! Arm drop spot but Rock is alive and is able to use the corner to get the pin for a nice two-count, breaking the hold. Austin beats on Rock but Rock hits the Stunner! 2-count! Mr. McMahon comes down to the ring and Rock has control until Stone Cold hits the spinebuster for a 2-count. Rock is able to hit one of his own and then the People’s Elbow but McMahon pulls Rock off of Austin! Rock is shocked and chases after Vince but runs into an Austin Rock Bottom! He goes for a Stunner but Rock throws him into Hebner. Austin hits a low blow and asks McMahon for a chair. Vince hits Rock with it, he wakes up Hebner, but Rock kicks out! Austin goes for another chair shot but Rock Bottom! Vince distracts Hebner, Rock attacks him, Stone Cold Stunner, but Rock kicks out! Austin gets the chair again from Vince, over Rock’s head, but kick out! Austin destroys Rock with the chair like a maniac, and Rock finally stays down. Austin has sided with McMahon and the crowd don’t really know what to feel as they share a beer. He leaves Rock a beer as they drink over him. Austin then attacks Rock with the title. 

Pros: Hot crowd, high energy, quick-paced clash, brutal, great callbacks, big fight feel Cons: Muddled finish

This match had everything. Smart story moments, high octane brawling, brutal offense, big fight feel, invested crowd, but all it lacked was a good finish. The way Vince siding with Austin was very spread out and not a big emphatic moment, it was a very wishy washy involvement that didn’t really fit where the story would go even just in the aftermath. I think maybe Austin working with Vince, being caught with the Rock Bottom, and losing would work, with him maybe going berserk and joining Vince full-on like he did, showing he has gone to the dark side. Or perhaps it was more resigned to one big chair shot after they can’t put each other away with their finishers, and Stone Cold reluctantly leans on Vince to win because he will do anything to win. I don’t know, but say what you will about heel Austin from a booking perspective, I think this finish was a little muddled personally for what it wanted to achieve. Also, it did not capitalise on the most frenetic crowd I’ve seen in a long time, because they were electric. Everything Austin did became thunderous and everything Rock did had a second of cheers because everyone loves Rocky, followed by a chorus of boos when they remembered he was fighting Austin. It was amazing, but they lost so much hype when that finish came because I think they were confused, and maybe you like that, but here I wanted thunderous cheers or boos. It sounds like I didn’t like this match in the end, but I loved it. I thought everything besides the finish was expertly done by two all time greats, and I just don’t know what to say that hasn’t been said before. Amazing stuff, but the finish was a tad blundered in my opinion. 

Also, VKM is a horrible man and I hope those hurt by him get everything the need.

Hi love 💕 can you please write reader x damian where she has like a chronic illness \ pain and she has some of those days where all she wants is to be taken care of? thank you 💗💗💗

wrote this with high fever so probably not the best :(

damian priest x reader

one of those days

being in that car accident when you were seven really fucked up your life. you were lucky to even be still alive, only getting out of it with bad injuries but nothing worse. expect your dream of being a wrestler fading away.

you grew up watching wrestling with your family. your dad was a fan. your mom was a fan too and you grew being a fan too. you remember asking wrestlemania tickets every year for christmas, nothing more.

but you knew that after being stuck in bed for over a year did nothing but more damage to your body.

it was a really bad accident, leaving you with the worst back pain you’ve ever felt. you thought it was going to go away but it never did. growing up the pain became stronger to the point you had to stay weeks away from school because you couldn’t even move. your dream of being a wrestler completely faded away but your lucky star made your wish come true anyway.

you were a sport journalist and even if you worked for hockey, baseball, football and basketball somehow you ended up hosting a wwe post game show. and that was everything you ever dreamed of.

you had the chance to meet amazing people, new friends and even the love of your life.

at first it was scary having to host interviews with the judgment day but in the end you found out they were the most caring and loving people you’ve ever met. you and rhea bonded immediately. she was the first to know about your pain and about the accident that happened and she made you promise to always call her in case you needed anything. same thing happened with finn and dom. with damian things were a little different. he fell in love with you the moment he saw you and he wanted everyone to know that he was in love. he started from giving you coffee in the morning to offering you lunches and dinners. he loved picking you up in the morning and taking you back home at night. he just loved being in your presence.

and you ended up falling for him too.

he always took care of you in a way no one ever did. not only about the physical pain. he knew you. he knew how to listen to you. he knew how to read you and that was all that mattered to you.

it was one of those morning where you were lucky you didn’t have to leave the house for work that day because you just spent the worst sleepless night ever.

your back was hurting once again and you couldn’t even move your legs to go to the bathroom.

“is everything okay princesa?” damian asked when he saw you trying to move your position in bed.

“just one of those days…”

“here let me help you” he smiled at you, moving his arms under your back, making sure to not hit the spot that hurts you. he helped you sitting more comfortably in bed, positioning some pillows under your back and under your head.

“thank you” you smiled at him.

“it’s my pleasure, do you need anything else? water? something to eat?” he asked softly, making sure he wasn’t overwhelming you.

“i’m okay, thanks” you whispered ���can you just hug me?” you shyly asked him.

his heart melted at the sound of your soft and sweet voice “of course love” he said, helping you moving towards his body so now you were laying on his chest while his hands went to your back, gently massaging it.

“does it hurt?” he asked.

“today more than yesterday…it’s normal tho…i just have bad days too”

“i know…i just wish you didn’t have those days…whatever you need i’m here, food, water, a hot bath, just say it and i’ll make everything possible” he smiled at you.

“can we just stay like this forever?”

“as you wish my queen” he laughed making you laugh too.

“i just love you so much damian…thank you for always being here for me”

“te amo mi amor…so much” he whispered when he saw you relaxing against his chest and closing your eyes once again.

he never thought he would find love but you came and proved him wrong.

WWF RAW MAGAZINE: February 2002

DIVA OF THE YEAR:

LITA (Fearless Beyond Belief)

To the eastern world, 2001 was recognized as the Chinese Year of the Snake, but here in the World Wrestling Federation, 2001 was the year of the daredevil WWF Diva Lita.

During2000, Lita began her meteoric rise to the top of the industry as she won the WWF Women’s Championship, and her popularity grew by leaps and bounds. Yet once she reached her crest, she was forced to share the limelight with other prominent Divas who were willing to do anything to preserve their spot. In 2001 however, Lita was able to overcome those obstacles to become not only the No. 1 Diva in sports-entertainment but perhaps the greatest of all time. Whether she was in the ring, on the cover of mainstream magazines or living it up outside the WWF as the company’s spokeswoman, Lita did it all and hooked millions of adoring fans in the process.

One of the secrets to Lita’s success is her fearless attitude; she has shown that she will fight anybody despite size or even gender differences. Lita’s athleticism is unmatched by any Superstar in the WWF, male or female. Having served as the Hardy Boyz’ eclectic valet, and also as an outside partner whenever the Hardys needed assistance, she has proven on numerous occasions that not even Superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin or Triple H can intimidate her. From bombshell blondes to technical masters to amazon women, Lita fought all comers in 2001 and broke barriers in sports-entertainment. 

[With or without the Hardy Boyz, Lita was a tremendous presence in the Federation in 2001.]

Looking back, this past year was a groundbreaking, roller-coaster ride for her. The year started off normal enough for the eXtreme Diva, as she faithfully followed her longtime friends the Hardys to the ring. It wasn’t until shortly after Valentine’s Day that Lita’s career took off in a new direction. A series of stalkings by Dean Malenko wore down her resolve, making her life in the Federation a living nightmare. Whole Matt and Jeff were extremely protective of her, Lita’s independent nature made it nearly impossible for them to keep her safe. Eventually she agreed to fight Malenko one on one with the understanding that if she defeated him, their dispute would be over.

Matt proved his love for her by assisting her victory in this important match. Matt and Lita embraced, ecstatic over her monumental victory, but the post-match celebration took a stunning twist. Caught up in the moment, Matt snagged Lita in a lip-lock that caught her off-guard. When he ran away, thinking he had made a huge mistake, she ran after him and reciprocated his kiss, revealing that she too felt the same way. Lita’s romance with the elder Hardy became evident when public displays of affection graced the television screens of millions of viewers worldwide. Fans were turning in each week to see the budding romance between the pair.

Lita’s first WrestleMania was full of excitement and intrigue. In the days leading up to the spring classic, she attended a pep rally at Ft. Hood, Texas, where hundreds of soldiers and World Wrestling Federation fans converged to meet their favorite WWF Superstars. At WrestleMania X-Seven, Lita involved herself in the TLC (Tables Ladders & Chairs) II Match, and wound up receiving a Dudley Death Drop for her efforts.

Although the Hardys failed to capture the Tag Team titles, Lita helped them even the odds and made the match a little more fair.

The weeks following WrestleMania were tumultuous for her; her loyalty to Matt and Jeff wound up costing her a beating at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hoping to send a message to the world about just how sadistic he could be, Austin struck a helpless Lita repeatedly with a steel chair. Despite the severe thrashing she received at the hands of the Texas Rattlesnake, she persevered and even began working her way up the ladder in the Women's Division. 

At Judgment Day, Lita battled Chyna for the WWF Women’s Championship. In a hard fought contest, Lita came just short of upending the “Ninth Wonder of the World,” and wound up on the losing end via a powerbomb. Not long after, Lita’s attention turned to another battle–against WCW. When the invasion began in early summer, Lita was at the front line, defending the WWF against the interlopers. In fact, she and Trish Stratus put aside their differences and teamed to battle Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson. In the end, it was Lita’s toughness that secured an important victory for the Federation and proved that the WWF’s Divas reigned supreme.

[Although their love affair was torn apart at the end of the year, the Lita/Matt Hardy pairing wowed fans in 2001.]

Throughout the year, Matt and Lita further endeared themselves to fans each time their trials and tribulations became public domain. But the audience was completely captivated as their love turned to tension. Toward the end of the year, Matt began showing interest in other women and was occasionally caught sneaking peeks at the other Divas’ goods. But when he began to wonder if his intentions were sincere. It seemed as though Matt’s personality was changing and that his love for the business was overpowering his effort toward their relationship. Not only did Matt begin mistreating Lita, he also began having frequent disagreements with his younger brother Jeff, leading to a match between the brothers at Vengeance. 

Lita has proven that with or without Matt by her side, she is still capable of being the No. 1 Diva and an invaluable asset to anyone she assists. 

No woman in the history of the WWF has been blessed with as much charm, talent, charisma and athletic ability as this fiery-haired fox, Fans across the globe are so mesmerized by her eXtreme beauty, that they demand her presence. This past year, Lita made several trips to the United Kingdom to spread cheer and goodwill among her loyal British fans. While in London, Lita donned a splendid “High Street” outfit and toured the town while a photographer chased after her snapping shots of the glamorous vixen. 

[No woman in the history of the WWF has been blessed with as much charm, talent, charisma and athletic ability as the fiery-haired Lita. Fans are so mesmerized by her eXtreme beauty that they demanded her presence.]

When it came time to choose a Diva to grace the cover of the WWF Divas 2001 Swimsuit Magazine, Lita earned the honor. Of all the gorgeous women to appear in the special issue, she was featured prominently in what turned out to be one of the best-selling WWF items of the year.

During the summer, World Wrestling Federation Magazine created an entire special, entitled eXtreme Magazine, dedicated to Lita and the Hardy Boyz. The collectors edition featured articles about Matt, Jeff and Lita’s life outside the squared circle and let fans in on how the trio spends their time while traveling on the road. Once again, a magazine featuring Lita on the cover became a bestseller. Not surprisingly, other publications took notice of the eXtreme beauty as well. This past November, Lita appeared on the cover of the Canadian TV Guide and earlier in the year, she and the Hardys posed for a special photo shoot for Rolling Stone.

Lita and the Hardys’ popularity have also managed to reach an audience outside of sports-entertainment. In March, Matt, Jeff and Lita appeared on MTV’s Spring Break coverage, where they helped judge a bikini contest.

The trio have become so popular among teens that it’s no wonder they were asked to film a commercial for Chef Boyardee. In the ad, they had no problem demonstrating what they do best: Showing off their eXtreme style in the ring.

[Lita’s message is clear: If you believe in yourself and take advantage of opportunities, there is nothing that you cannot accomplish. After a short time in the Federation, she has risen to the top as its supreme Diva.]

In October, Lita appeared on The Weakest Link and stood her ground against some of the brightest Superstars the WWF has to offer. During the broadcast, she proved that the WWF Divas possess more than just beauty and athleticism; they also are extremely intelligent. Just recently, the Hardys and Lita appeared on Fear Factor, demonstrating how both in and out of the ring, fear is just a four-letter word. 

With all that Lita has accomplished in 2001, the coming year looks to be even brighter. Now that she is widely recognized as the premier woman in sports-entertainment, it’s impossible to tell what may be next in her career. Surely she will be seen more on the airwaves as she continues to make an impact on her loyal fans. 

With every Litacanrana and moonsault she executes, Lita sets an example for young women around the world. Her message is clear: if you believe in yourself and take advantage of opportunities, there is nothing that you cannot accomplish. Lita believed in herself, and after a short time in the Federation, she has risen to the top as its supreme Diva.

The Best Room They Have Is The Last Room You Want

(Brad Vickers x FEM!reader)

Warnings; sexual jokes, Brad being a little perv, no real smut, barely edited.

Summary; Brad and readers normal nights together as a married couple.

Title from The Best Room by Modest Mouse

Brad sighed, late shifts in the office were always boring and repetitive. He just wanted to go home, crack open some cheap beer, and eat dinner with you. God, just the thought of you sent him into a spiraling frenzy of emotions. Lust, happiness, and longing mostly.

The brunet missed you, even if he saw you everyday and spent every night with you; he'd still miss you dearly. With a small huff, he continued his mind-numbing paperwork and waited for the time to pass.

~~~

Brad parked his small 1997 Honda Civic, white, a little dinged up. But Brad loved it, it was his pride and joy. Pocketing his keys, Brad opened the driver's side door and climbed out, closing it behind him. He walked up the small concrete walkway, humming to himself when he noted that he needed to cut the grass again.

Brad groaned in annoyance when he realized that he could not have put his keys away, and that he had to now use his house key. Fishing the bundle of keys out, he slotted the house key in, a bright pink finish on it. You had insisted on it, as he always lost his keys, and now his keys were all embarrassingly colorful.

Brad snorted and shook his head when he heard the dog come running towards the door, the dog's tail beating against the floor while he waited for his favorite person to walk in. Brad smiled when he heard you talking to the dog, asking if Brad was finally home.

After unlocking the door and opening it, the canine excitedly jumped when Brad walked in. Brad chuckled and rubbed the chocolate lab's head, before walking into the living room where he assumed that you were.

Fuck.

You sat on the couch, only in a baggy shirt and a pair of his boxers. You had insisted on it, if he got to wear your socks; you got to wear his and his boxers.

Brad really needs to thank Joseph for daring him to buy a Hooters T-shirt from said breastaurant. Now Brad gets to see you wear the loose T-shirt around the house, sometimes just it and a pair of panties.

Shaking the dirty thoughts from his head, Brad walked over and sat next to you, leaning over and pecking your lips. Brad toed his boots off, and peeled his socks off, wiggling his now free toes. “How was work?”

You glanced up from your magazine, and smiled at him, “Fine. Still cute as always. The kids got really excited when I told them about the possum in the backyard last night.”

You worked as an elementary school teacher, you taught second grade language arts. You always came back with cute little stories about your class.

“Yeah? That's cute.” Brad replied, looking over at the TV. “WrestleMania? You like wrestling?”

“Wanted some background noise while I cleaned up around the house.” You shrugged, looking back down at the PlayGirl magazine.

Brad shook his head fondly at you, a bit jealous that you were looking at porn right in front of him. But, then again, you seemed bored looking at it.

“You know, I'm kinda jealous that you get to work around a bunch of little seven year-olds and teach them to spell n’ stuff.” Brad sighed, folding his arms across his chest and leaning back in the old couch. “I have to work with brawly guys.”

“Hey, what about Jill?” You asked, tossing the magazine on the coffee table.

“She counts too. She beat everyone at arm wrestling and thumb wrestling.” Brad mumbled, his bottom lip jutting out in a tiny pout.

“Aw, is Brad jealous that I get to work with a bunch of cute kids?” You teased, leaning towards him with a cheeky smirk. “‘Cause it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Just yesterday I had to help one of the kids clean puke off of his shirt.”

Brad grimaced, a look of disgust across his face, “Ew…”

“Yeah.” You hummed, pecking his cheek and leaning back against the arm of the couch.

“My point still stands, I'd rather deal with puke than some grown man with his boner.” Brad muttered, not realizing how lewd it sounded.

“Brad, are…are you giving sexual favors?” You asked with a shocked look, unable to hide the childish grin.

Brad's head snapped up, and looked at you with a bright blush across his cheeks. “W-what?! No!”

“You sure?” You giggled, staring at him with amusement while you rested your feet in his lap. Brad gave you a side-eye, and a little sneer.

Before Brad could open his mouth and give a rebuttal, the doorbell rung. You stood up and walked walked over to the front door, Brad shamefully watching your hips sway with each stride. With a small groan, Brad grabbed a throw pillow and laid it on his lap, covering his semi-hard bulge.

You came back with a take-out bag in hand, fondly rolling your eyes when you saw his lap-pillow. You set the bag next to the magazine on the coffee table, walking to the kitchen and opening the refrigerator.

“What do you want?” You called out to Brad, listening to him excavate through the bag of Chinese food.

“Beer.” Brad called back, letting out a small ‘yes!’ when he found crab rangoon.

You walked back with a beer bottle and Pepsi, setting them down on the little table. You plopped down next to Brad, reaching down and grabbing the orange chicken and the plastic fork, along with the fried rice.

After the two of you ate dinner, let the dog out, and shared a cigarette on the back porch, you guys were back in your bathroom.

Brad was taking a leak, while you brushed your teeth over the sink. With the toothbrush in your mouth, you looked over at Brad and down at the toilet.

“Is it awys tht crlor?” You asked, your words muffled with toothpaste.

Brad looked up from his dick, and at you with a small glare, “My urine is a normal color.”

You rolled your eyes playfully and leaned over the sink, spitting the glob of foam out of your mouth. You gargled some water and spat it out, wiping your mouth after and moving to the side when Brad walked over to wash his hands.

Brad brushed his teeth and watched you apply face cream and moisturizer on, his eyes were full of love and pure awe. Brad always wondered how he got such a gorgeous woman to date him, let alone marry him.

God he was lucky.

Brad smiled around the toothbrush when he watched you leave the bathroom, listening to the sheets rustle when you climbed in bed. After Brad finished up in the bathroom, he changed into sweats and a plain, white t-shirt.

Crawling into bed, Brad wrapped his arms around you and nuzzled his face in the crook of your neck, leaving a soft kiss against your skin. Basking in the way you curled back into him, Brad smiled brightly and closed his eyes.

“I love you.”

“Love you too.”

In 2012, Cm Punk attracted me to pro wrestling for the first time since I was a child. I came in right around the Punk/Daniel Bryan feud over AJ Lee. I stuck with it for a few years, largely culminating with Wrestlemania 30 and Daniel Bryan’s incredible double win. After that, my interest petered out, but I kept an eye on the scene via Botchamania.

In 2021 I was brought back into wrestling via my now fiancé expressing interest in the whole scene. I had heard of AEW as it spun up, but I paid little attention until August of that year. Rumors abound of CM Punk returning to wrestling as AEW visited Chicago just ahead of All Out. Then it happened, everybody kinda knew it would, but it was still intense, one of the loudest pops in the history of pro wrestling. Seeing Phil Brooks walk out to an arena full of folks cheering his name, it felt like a person returning home. It really grabbed me, and when my partner asked what’s this pro wrestling thing about, I knew AEW was gonna be the shows we followed.

Since then I watch AEW programming three times a week, keeping an eye on certain WWE talent and storyline here and there. I’ve gained a dozen new favorite wrestlers, with folks like Orange Cassidy, Hangman Adam Page, and Jon Moxley topping that list. The 2022 All Out incident, “Brawl Out,” soured my opinion of Punk for a while. I still liked the guy, but just the way things went down in that press conference and beyond knocked him down my roster a few rungs. Mox put the company on his back for a few months, proving how indispensable he is. (Like for real, if Jon Moxley isn’t getting a seven figure salary from good old Tony Khan, what the fuck are we doing?)

Eventually, Punk is back, with his own show even. A soft roster split occurs as AEW Collision gets off the ground as a way to both separate Punk from the people he got into a physical altercation with months prior and to feature more of the top talent in AEW. Things seem to be going well, Punk introduces his so-called “Real” World Championship by pulling it out of bag and spray painting a large straight-edge X across the center. Ok, now there’s two World Champs in AEW, makes some sense if there’s a brand/roster split, gotta have two top titles like the other guys right?

Punk rides the line between babyface and heel every episode of Collision, largely dependent on the crowd reaction it seems. The show feels different, not necessarily in a bad way, slightly different pacing, but still good, if just a little off? He keeps a few people known to affiliate with The Elite, the group he had an actual fist fight with, out of his shows, including the company’s head of talent relations. Not a good sign. He makes an after-show shot at Hangman Page, again someone he’d had real beef with just 6 months prior. It felt weird and half-hearted, like why even comment? He apologizes reportedly. An argument with Jungle Boy Jack Perry about use of real glass in spot happens and then leaked out weeks later. Weirder and weirder.

2023, at the biggest pro wrestling show ever, All In Wembley, CM Punk gets into a physical fight with Jack Perry just before Punk is to have the biggest match of his career against longtime rival Samoa Joe. Things are BAD. Joe and Punk do their match, it’s pretty damn good. An investigation into the fight happens. Just under a week later, on September 2, CM Punk is released from AEW, right before All Out 2023. Almost a year to the day from when Punk got into a fight with the executive vice presidents of AEW, he gets into another physical fight over a comment from Jack Perry about real glass. Tony Khan does the right thing and lets Phil Brooks go on his way. And you know what? I think I’ve typed all of this up, at like 2am, to do the same. As much as I like CM Punk from a decade ago now, I’ve moved on. He’s still an incredible talent, and certainly one of the better folks in the wrestling business from politics side of things, but his temper, his inability to just let little things go has got me looking elsewhere.

So goodbye Phil Brooks. Goodbye CM Punk. I hope you just take some time off. Spend it with your wife and dog. Chill in Chicago and maybe just work on comics or movies and shows once the strikes are over. I really do wish you the best, and I guess I want to thank you for reigniting my interest in wrestling. It’s something that my soon-to-be wife and I have bonded over, so thank you and goodbye.
