Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

When Will Brock Lesnar Actually Retire?

Brock Lesnar appeared to retire at WrestleMania this past April. He took off the boots after he lost to Oba Femi and it appeared to fans that he retired. Brock however returned on last week’s Raw and attacked Oba Femi. Shocking the wrestling community. Brock and Femi’s rematch has been confirmed for this weekend at Clash in Italy. When will Brock Lesnar actually retire? The most obvious place and time is SummerSlam on the first weekend in August from U.S Bank Stadium in Brock’s (billed from) hometown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The stadium can sit almost 73,000 people. In order to fill a venue this big you have to have marquee matches. Brock Lesnar’s retirement would put butts in seats. He’s one of the biggest draws in combat sports history, and one of the most polarizing figures in wrestling. Brock’s star-making moment happened at SummerSlam 2002 when he beat The Rock to become the youngest WWE Champion in history. The next choice is this Sunday in Turin, Italy. Maybe Brock bea...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...
