When a man named Phillip Brooks walked out of the job that he hated back in January, it caused a storm throughout the whole community, both online and in person. Because Phillip Brooks is no ordinary man, and his job happened to not be an ordinary field of profession either. For the man who also went by the name Cm Punk, the day he walked out of the WWE (and therefore the wrestling business altogether) was the day that internet got one more thing to talk about, and boy has it done that in spades.
Speculation has run rife for half of 2014 over Punk’s future, and what drove him to quit the company that made him a superstar. Pay, creative direction, injuries, coworkers, and so much more have all been tossed around by dirtsheets and those ‘in the know’. Truthfully, the only people that really know are...

WWE wrestler and former World Champion Cm Punk has successfully obtained a restraining order against his own mother. Punk, real name Phillip Brooks, filed for the restraining order after what he claims were "repeated financial demands and years of abusive, harassing and threatening behavior."
TMZ obtained the documents that were filed, in which Brooks says he's given his mother more than $100,000, but eventually cut her off. According to the wrestler, she then sent him a string of harsh emails, including one that reads, "You don't give a s*** about us. You just care about your money and money hungry/fame hungry friends. You would sell us for a nickel."
Brooks also says his mother has threatened to share information about her son's past, which may be embarrassing. He suggests that it could be connected to arrests from his high school days. He further claims she told him she would commit...

The members of the MTV Newsroom are enthusiastic about a number of different entertainment avenues. Music, obviously, tops that list. Movies are right up there, of course. Sports are important, as are art galleries and theatrical performances. And then there are also a handful of us who quite enjoy professional wrestling. That's why we couldn't let the day go by without wishing Cm Punk, one of the best performers currently working on the WWE circuit, an extremely happy birthday. The man born Phillip Brooks turns 32 years old today.
Punk is notable for a number of reasons. He doesn't have a traditional professional wrestling look (he is obviously in good shape but would never be mistaken for a professional bodybuilder the way stars like John Cena or Triple H might) and has a totally unique character (he is straight edge, a lifestyle he actually subscribes to in real life). Despite all the piercings,...
