Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis.
John Cena, Multi-Talented Mega Celebrity John Cena isn’t just a 16-time world heavyweight
champion and leader of the Cenation; he’s also a successful movie star, a platinum recording
artist and, of course, the holder of a doctorate degree in Thuganomics from the University
of Cultural Appropriation.
And now Cena is adding another profession to his already stacked LinkedIn page: an author
of children’s books: “Big dreams can be scary, but that's okay.
Never be afraid to put in the work...sometimes all it takes is a little #ElbowGrease.
So happy to bring this story with wonderful illustrations from Howard McWilliam.
Excited for you all to enjoy.”
The book is promoted as being authored by “multi-talented mega celebrity John Cena”
and is about “a little monster truck [called Elbow Grease] with a big problem!
He’s smaller than his four brothers, but wants to prove that he has the guts and the
grit to do big things.”
Wrestling personalities have a remarkable track record when it comes to publishing.
Mick Foley’s series of autobiographies are best sellers, Austin Aries wrote a guide to
being vegan, and AJ Lee’s recent book Crazy is My Superpower is being adapted into a TV
show.
But for me, the greatest wrestling book of all time...is WWE Novel Big Apple Take Down
from 2006, where the superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment double as a covert black ops
group for the government.
I’m going to read a random bit of the book.
Shane McMahon DVD Cancelled!
But
while Cena announces children’s books, poor old Shane McMahon can’t even get one DVD
release - as his long-in-development Craziest Matches compilation has been cancelled yet
again.

CM Punk UFC Return Revealed?
Last month marked the four year anniversary since CM Punk walked out of WWE because of
creative differences, personal differences, alleged medical misdiagnoses and the fact
that he came up with The Shield, dammit, and he still seems resolute in never wanting to
work for Vince McMahon or Triple H again.
Instead, he’s still pursuing his mixed martial arts dream by competing in the UFC.
But following his 2 minute 14 second loss to Mickey Gall at UFC 203 in 2016, there were
rumors that Dana White wasn’t interested in booking him again - despite Punk’s multi-fight
contract.
That was until the promotion announced UFC 225 would take place in Punk’s beloved home
city of Chicago, which Punk reposted with CURIOUS EYES EMOJI, PONDERING FACE EMOJI!
MMA Fighting are now reporting that “the UFC is currently discussing booking CM Punk
vs. Mike Jackson for the UFC 225 card on June 9 in Chicago”, although these talks are
“in the early stages with no final decision made just yet.”
Jackson was almost Punk’s UFC debut opponent, losing to Mickel Gall in a fight for the right
to have Punk’s first match back in 2016.
He’s since called out Punk in the form of an 80s-style wrestling promo.
Jackson’s loss to Gall is his only professional fight.
