WWE's Dr. Chris Amann filed a lawsuit today against CM Punk and Colt Cabana due to comments made on Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast last year.
The Cook County Record in Illinois reports that Amann is claiming that his reputation has suffered as a result of the comments made by Punk.
Amann is seeking more than $1 million in compensatory damages as well as an undetermined amount of punitive damages.
Amann says in his suit that Punk's claims about him are false. Cabana is included for helping Punk "falsely depict" Amann.
Even with CM Punk having a number of detractors in WWE, Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com was told that virtually everybody in WWE who listened to the recent Art of Wrestling podcast with Colt Cabana "thought it was awesome."
Colt Cabana wrote the following to his mailing list in regards to why CM Punk addressed his WWE departure on Colt's Art of Wrestling podcast this week:
"Punk has had this incredible story basically kept to himself for a long time now. There’s been so many people bugging and pushing and intruding. I hope this gives HIM closure & I hope it gives YOU closure."
Former WWE Superstar CM Punk has finally spoken out about his WWE departure on the latest episode of Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast. It's a very in-depth interview with Punk going into detail about his health, last few months with WWE, his departure and what happened after that. The full interview is available on iTunes now.
