Cabana MITB discusses success of CM Punk, be happy without further & WWE
Marc Middleton
On July 15, 2011 - 12: 03: 37 PM - Colt Cabana was interviewed by Alex Marvez of Scripps news this week about WWE, CM Punk and much more. Below are some highlights:
The situation of CM Punk:
"I am more interested as a fan to see what happens." There is so much buzz around this. Punk has caused a great stir which has not happened in wrestling for a long time. "I am very excited to see what is going down and, more important still, seeing my best friend in his last WWE match."
Be happy now without WWE:
"I love where my career and my life is in." Don't get me wrong: I love to be with WWE and working with CM Punk. It would be surprising. But I've also seen many guys can say goodbye to the WWE and then sit around waiting for a call back that normally doesn't come. Its value falls until they do not have any following. I cannot sit and wait. "All the projects I make me creatively and monetarily happy."
The money after the Bank:
"If the rate of purchase for this show is high, basically says that CM Punk was only responsible for doing this kind of money." And that because of the things said, that people want to see something different and they have gotten into the car. If WWE realizes that perhaps it is time for a change, the possibility of is there. Yes, this will inevitably all put much money in the pockets of McMahon. "But it also puts too much power in the hands of CM Punk."

Happy Mother's Day
By Rey Ca$h
May 8, 2011 - 7:40:48 PM 
Happy Mother's Day!
Well, probably not expecting to see me here, were you. Regardless, I've been called up to the big show, and I'm estatic. If you guys don't know who I am, they call me Rey Ca$h. Why? Well, because my nickname is Rey, and I like money. Get it? Anyway, it's been a long, hard journey to get here, and I'm thankful for everybody who's ever read anything I've written. Be it a post or a column, you all made me who I am, and I sincerely thank you.
Anyway, since it's Mother's Day, I figured I'd do something a bit different for my debut. I was raised by my mother and my grandmother, and they're the reasons I am who I am today. I owe them everything, and I'm thankful that they're in my life. So, I'm going to do an interview of sorts with the both of them, and let you get to know me through them. We'll start off with my grandma.
My grandmother, better known as Nana, is truly the matriarch of the family. Along with my grandfather, Boogie (RIP), raised all three of their kids, and my cousin and me. Nana isn't your average grandmother. She just turned 77 on Thursday, but she acts and looks every bit of 50. She's a huge Laker fan (boo!), watches every new movie she can get her hands on, and has a Facebook page. Yes, my grandma has a Facebook page. Anyway, I asked her a few questions earlier today about wrestling.
Rey: When did you start watching wrestling?
Nana: *Laughs* My goodness. I started watching wrestling around about 1950 or so. I was still at home.
Rey: Who is your favorite wrestler?
Nana: You know I like Stone Cold, and I like John Cena. Way back, there was a guy named Rito Romero. That was back during the '40s.
Rey: What do you think of me being such a huge wrestling fan?
Nana: Oh my goodness, outstanding. It's one of your top priorities in sports. You don't miss it. You're a PPV freak! *Laughs*
Rey: What's one major storyline or thing you remember the most?
Nana: Dick Murdoch and Ted DiBiase....when Paul Boesch was over Houston Wrestling. Stone Cold and Vince
Rey: WWE has changed lately, in that they have made their programming PG. That means very little cussing, no sexual situations, and a focus on in-ring action and less on violence. Being a mother, how do you think that changes your perception of the company?
Nana: It's excellent. I agree 100%. It's the right thing for them to do for the days we're living in.
Rey: Is there one thing you want to say to the people?
Nana: I wish you all well in your efforts and your careers. God bless you all.
I was raised mainly by my grandparents, but that's because they were retired. My Mom on the other hand, she worked. We've had a lot of bumps along the way, and we still bump heads to this day, but at the end of it, she always supports me. Funny thing is, she hates wrestling. She really hates wrestling. Let me let you see the interview I gave her earlier.
Rey: You always hated wrestling and me watching it. Why?
Mom: Because I thoiught wrestling was too wild and too inappropriate for your age.
Rey: What did you think of Nana and Boogie watching wrestling just as much as me?
Mom: I grew up with them watching the original wrestling, so it wasn't a big problem with them.
Rey: You just said that you watched wrestling with the family when you were younger, so what changed?
Mom: It became to commercialized. It wasn't about family anymore. It became about sex, and I really didn't like that.
Rey: What is it exactly about wrestling that you don't like?
Mom: It's too much about sex and doesn't focus enough on sports. It doesn't hit any of the values that I believe in.
Rey: WWE has changed lately, in that they have made their programming PG. That means very little cussing, no sexual situations, and a focus on in-ring action and less on violence. Being a mother, how do you think that changes your perception of the company?
Mom: I have to see an episode, and then I can tell you.
Rey: Is there one thing you want to say to the people?
Mom: I'll probably never like wrestling, but that's just who I am. But I know you love it, and as long as you keep your values, I support you in it, and your writing.
I wasn't trying to go completely in depth with these interviews, but I just wanted you all to know where I came from. I know this wasn't the longest piece in the world, but it's bigger than that. To me, and for me, wrestling is a generational thing. I've had to fight my mom my whole life to watch it, but my grandparents always supported it. Regardless, I wouldn't be where I was in life if my Mom and my Nana weren't there for me. So to them, thank you and I love you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, we're almost done here. As all of you know, I came from the Columns Forum at www.LOPForums.com, just like all of us did. A lot of people showcase that place on their columns here, as I will too. There's a lot of great talent down there that hasn't gotten a chance to be showcased on here. I want to do it a bit differently, however. Instead of me introducing a column, I'll let the writer do it themselves. I mean, who else can do their column justice but the person who wrote it, right? Anyway, I'd like to introduce you to the newest writer in the CF, Mizfan!
Hellooooo out there! Your friendly neighborhood mizfan here.
Except this isn’t my old neighborhood, and I’m not Mr Rogers anyway. This is the big time, the big wide scary world of the MP. I guess I have to introduce myself!
I’m Mizfan. And I’m pretty much a huge deal. ;)
No, in all seriousness I’m very honored to be here in any way shape or form. Never did I imagine my number crunching would be placed in view of the whole wide world… or at least whoever bothers to click on this link.
But now to business, new mizfan fans. What follows is a humble example of my work in the hallowed hall of the Columns Forum. This particular example is regarding the recent controversial WWE draft, and how it affects everyone involved, whether they were raptured away to wear a different color shirt or tragically left behind in their original clothes. I hope whoever reads this enjoys themselves, and maybe come further in to check out some of the great work lurking just a little deeper in the forum.
Without further ado, the Mizfan Minute presents: Who Got F*cked, Where, and There Were How Many Jelly Beans?

Mickie James Discusses Whether's She's Happy In TNA, Edge's Retirement, More
Busted Open satellite radio show with Mickie James
Hosts: Dave LaGreca and Doug Mortman
Airs Mondays and Wednesdays on Sirius 125 and XM 241 from 2-4 ET
Visit Facebook.com/bustedopen for more information.
James on her match at Lockdown and wrestling with a separated shoulder: "I’m really excited about it. I’m going in there with a separated shoulder and hopefully be able to tough through the match. I’m feeling better every day honestly and trying to get more range of motion back and I definitely hope physically to be 100 percent. I don’t think my shoulder will be 100 percent but luckily it’s my left shoulder and I’m a righty, so that kind of helps."
James reflects on the tremendous cage match she had with Tara on Impact a few months back: "That match with Tara was the first cage match I’ve ever been in. That was definitely a very scary thing. I don’t think I thought about it beforehand how high the cage actually is and how scary it is. You see the guys do the crazy stuff like that all the time and its like they think nothing of it…..or maybe the same things running through their mind when actually they get up there and they go ‘Oh God, this is really high!’. There definitely is a lot of pressure because it was such an amazing match in itself…..to be able to compete against myself in the same kind of match and going in kind of injured anyways, it’s definitely one of those things that I have to be aware of and be careful of."
James thoughts on Edge’s retirement due to injury: "He’s really just a genuinely nice guy. I have nothing but the upmost respect for him and what he’s done in this industry and the legacy he has built for himself. Before him, the whole ladders match thing with him and the Hardys and that Edge and Christian phase….that was really a raising the bar level on that whole deal and just everything he’s done since then.
"It’s sad that due to injured he has to retire due to the fact that it has taken a huge toll on his body but at least I think it’s very intelligent of him and it’s a huge pride swallowing thing to recognize the fact that ‘I can’t physically do this, I’m putting my life on the line, it’s not just my body anymore.’. And for him to have to do that and I’m sure its not something that he wanted to do at this moment in time and it was something that we all have to come to terms with, we all can’t wrestle forever…..but I think that he is so talented that theres many other things that he can do that’s gonna continue to keep him out and about and doing things."
James on Kurt Angle re-signing with TNA: "I love Kurt. He’s awesome. He’s got so much going for him with the Angle Foods thing and that’s starting to take off and it’s a really cool thing. He has such a name for himself anyways and to be the only male to hold an Olympic gold medal, everything he’s already done……I’m sure he doesn’t have to continue to wrestle but he just loves it so much. He has such a huge passion and love for this business. It’s just amazing. I think we’re very honored to have him as a part of the roster."
James' mid-term report card on TNA (with her being on the roster for about six months or so now): "I’m having a blast. It was definitely something that I was still on the fence whether or not I should go or not and what I was going to be able to bring or do that is different than anybody else has already done. It’s been a fun journey, a cool locker room, I’ve made some cool friends and I’ve been able to do some really compelling stuff and raise the bar even for myself. To be able to main event Impact, and do my first cage match, and have a cool storyline with Tara go on to Madison and have a compelling storyline with her as well…..I think it’s really…..brought a different spice to the show. Hopefully, they (TNA) feel the same."

Beth Phoenix Drafted To RAW To Keep CM Punk Happy?
As we reported this week, RAW superstar CM Punk is said to be unhappy in WWE and is considering leaving the company when his contract expires later this year. Punk is burned out from five years on the road and is not happy with other stars such as The Miz and Alberto Del Rio getting pushed over him.
WWE wants to keep Punk on the roster and have offered him a new longterm deal, which he's yet to sign. It's interesting to note that CM Punk's real-life girlfriend Beth Phoenix was traded to the RAW brand during Tuesday's Supplemental Draft - which could be seen as a move to make life better for Punk on the road.
Punk's possible departure from WWE later this year has been one of the main topics of discussion behind the scenes this week. Punk has been dating Beth Phoenix for the past several months and the two are reportedly a serious couple.
WWE has made roster trades in the past to keep superstar-diva couples together - with the most notable example being Michelle McCool being moved to SmackDown a few years ago so she could travel with her husband, The Undertaker.

GLAAD Not Happy With WWE - Details Inside
"We reached out to WWE Incorporated, which responded swiftly and positively," said the statement. "The incidents were particularly troubling because WWE recently began promoting itself as PG-rated entertainment marketed primarily towards adolescent males," the statement continued. "And there was wrestling superstar John Cena performing what amounted to scripted homophobic bullying of other wrestlers on a nationally broadcast show for kids."
WWE assured GLAAD that such incidents won't happen again and issued an apology. "WWE takes this issue very seriously, and has already spoken with our talent about these incidents. We are taking steps and working with GLAAD to ensure that our fans know that WWE is against bullying or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. We strongly value our fans in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and apologize to them for these incidents."
