CM Punk's loss is our (my) win


I missed CM Punk's WWE run (and pro wrestling career, for that matter) almost entirely. I've since gone back and watched a few of his matches and his famous (or infamous), pipebomb (it's great, go watch it if you haven't already), so I was curious about his debut at UFC 203.

CWC's The Brian Kendrick vs Kota Ibushi is all I want from wrestling

I've kicking around the idea of writing about wrestling for a while now. There's been some absolutely spectacular matches in the last calendar year and also plenty of unpopular booking decisions that just make one's fingers itch.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the CWC quarterfinals, which is my absolute favorite wrestling program right now. Of all the matches in this round my favorite one saw The Brian Kendrick facing Kota Ibushi, a match that probably everybody knew was going to be won by Ibushi, except that... halfway through the match I started to doubt myself thinking that Brian Kendrick could actually come out on top and achieve the biggest upset of the tournament. That's right. The match was THAT good.
