“I could see that this guy believed in himself. I think that’s the number one thing that leads to success in this business, is that belief in yourself. If you don’t you’re just going to get eaten alive and you’re going to sink… Punk obviously has done the opposite of that, because he’s always known how good he is and how talented he is and he’s never doubted that. He’s always believed that he should be on top, and that’s exactly where he deserves to be. And he’s worked very hard to get to that point.”

Pro Wrestler Colt Cabana talks WWE, ‘Art of Wrestling’ podcast, CM Punk and more
by Mark Bazer | Nov. 15, 2011
Whether you’re into pro wrestling or you couldn’t name a wrestler since Hulk Hogan, you’ll find a lot to like about Colt Cabana. The Chicago-based pro indy wrestler (he grew up in Deerfield) is funny, gracious and absolutely passionate about what he does — whether, as he puts it, he’s wrestling in front of 6,000 people in an arena or in front of 40 people on a baseball field.
Cabana (real name Scott Colton) talks here about his time in the WWE, his popular Art of Wrestling podcast (think Marc Maron’s WTF for the wrestling community), his close friendship with WWE star CM Punk and more.

Jim Ross failed The Michael Cole Challenge
Is anyone in the WWE Universe surprised that The Michael Cole Challenge was a sham? After weeks of threats, the sniveling announcer finally subjected J.R. to three tests for the opportunity to take over his announcing position. First, the Sooner beat Cole in an arm wrestling match. Then, J.R. schooled him in a dance competition. But the WWE Hall of Famer couldn’t pass the final challenge — a comparison to see who weighed less.
Cole may have been entertained by his swerve, but he was the only one. Outraged by what he described as a colossal waste of time, CM Punk stormed the ring and vowed to make Raw interesting again. Of course, he was quickly interrupted by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis who announced a huge bout for tonight — CM Punk & Big Show vs. WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio & World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry.
Unimpressed by the GM’s declaration, The “Voice of the Voiceless” immediately went about making Monday night more entertaining by locking Cole in a brutal Anaconda Vise.
WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio & World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry def. CM Punk & Big Show
Before teaming with Big Show in an exciting preview of Sunday’s two World Title bouts, CM Punk was ambushed in the locker room by the vicious Alberto Del Rio and stomped into the ground. Bravely, The Straight Edge Superstar still made it out for his match, but he couldn’t stop The Mexican Aristocrat in his weakened state and was pinned by the WWE Champion. After the bell, Del Rio continued his assault, punishing Punk with the cross armbreaker.
In this WWE.com exclusive, Punk discusses one of his favorite Stone Cold matches and gives his thoughts on Austin’s WWE debut.
