Just heard that myself. Sad news. He was a funny guy. I wonder if someone else will take up his mantle and make a daily tweet saying "f**k Hulk Hogan".

Even I know who the Iron Sheik was. He was a Twitter legend.

It went viral

The people Sheik had run his Twitter always operated like the way he did in the interview

So fancy owning some second-hand wrestling gear? If not it seems there are plenty of people who do.

There's a pretty good short documentary about him on Peacock.

I'd heard about Funk and that was expected. The Wyatt one shocked me although I know he's been ill for a long time now. The second member of the Wyatt Family stable to pass away early. He had 4 kids and was supposed to get married before the end of the year.

We watched Saturday night's 'Collision' before the 'All In' event from London. It was interesting to hear the boo's drowning out the cheers for the first one whenever CM Punk stepped in the ring. I couldn't tell which reaction was more dominant during the PPV. It didn't come as any surprise when I heard that Punk had been involved in an altercation (yet again) with another wrestler (Jack (Luke's son) Perry) prior to 'All In'. While I am not privy to what is happening back stage, the more of these things happen the more my thinking moves towards Punk being the problem.

While I am not privy to what is happening back stage, the more of these things happen the more my thinking moves towards Punk being the problem.

From what I've heard, Jack wanted to do a spot in a match a week or two ago on Collision, featuring the use of real glass, and executives said "No." They wanted candy glass, like the type used in film. They argued with Jack, and Punk was asked to talk to Perry as the locker room leader. Punk agreed with management, as using real glass can be dangerous (severed arteries, etc). Perry was upset and felt they and Punk were wrong and "old school."

Then at All In, as Punk was about to have a match, Perry alluded to "Real Glass" within earshot of Punk, who got hot.

Granted Punk shouldn't have had an altercation with him over it, when the owners and executives day no to something, take it at that. Also, real glass for a wrestling match is dumb.

The Bucks, Perry, Page, not a fan. They're the worst.

Fact is, Punk is a draw and the biggest one they have. In terms of ratings and merch sales and the like. The network studies the numbers of ratings and even YouTube views. Punk generally has the upper hand there. Why get rid of him? He's been right.
