CM Punk was fired from the WWE in June of 2014. Circumstances surrounding this were very muddled and few knew the whole story at the time.

That all changed when the Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast with CM Punk was released. CM Punk revealed that he was fired on his wedding day, as well as numerous medical and safety issues he dealt with because of WWE’s poor management.

Vince McMahon only denied that firing him on his wedding day was purposeful, and has not commented on anything else.

Christian gave himself the nickname “Captain Charisma” when he debuted his new heel persona in 2004. Despite multiple face and heel turns after the fact, the nickname has stuck with him.

The nickname calls reference to his talent on the mic as well as his ability to captivate a crowd in the ring.

Wrestler: Jack Swagger

Swagger’s finisher is a falling variant of the gutwrench powerbomb. Like the Meat Hook Clothesline, the finisher is self-descriptive.

Jack had a successful NCAA wrestling career, so the Gutwrench Powerbomb fits his style. The move is very technical and requires a lot of power.

Wrestler: Ryback

Ryback’s Meat-Hook Clothesline has no fancy name. It’s self descriptive.

Ryback does add his own flair to the move though, as he winds up in the corner reminiscent of Shawn Michaels. Where HBK stomps his foot, Ryback pumps his arm.

Ryback’s clothesline will often cause the recipient to completely flip over, showcasing just how powerful the move is. This move is commonly known as a lariat.

Wrestler: Rusev

The Accolade is a camel clutch submission maneuver. Rusev will often stomp on a downed wrestler a few times right before locking in the accolade. The entire method in which he employs The Accolade can be described as “imposing.”

Rusev’s entire persona is built around dominance, and his finisher is certainly no different. Camel clutch submission moves are almost always used by large, dominant wrestlers.

Wrestler: Carlito

The Backstabber is a double knee backbreaker, and is one of the most painful looking finishers ever used in the WWE.

Carlito spent a majority of his time in the WWE as a heel, so a move like the Backstabber made sense. It’s a sneaky looking move and was semi-versatile.
