Iconic Irish wrestler Sheamus was displaying some colour in last nights WWE SmackDown live event when an unexpected visitor in the form of Daniel Bryan came smacked him on the head with the World Heavyweight Title during his bout with Mark Henry.

Even though Sheamus experienced a gash to the head, he continued his bout and won the match before the clean up operation could begin. We hope you saw and enjoyed all the action!

InkedMag.com caught up with CM Punk this week who gave a candid interview about his life at WWE and his love for past wrestling greats. The WWE Champion shared his respect for Macho Man Randy Savage and the time he wore WrestleMania III Macho Man tights to pay homage to the great wrestler when he died. Punk declared Macho Man ‘cooler than anyone around today, myself included’.

Punk told the mag wrestling alongside his own wrestling heroes blows his mind and getting the support of the likes of Mick Foley, is bigger than his biggest pay check. He said ‘That’s validation from people who are as close to being my heroes as you can get’.

Punk explained that even as Champion he can still feel like an outsider in a world that is all about image. But Punk lets his skills define who he is. ‘Who cares if I don’t look like you want me to? That’s something I’ve been dealing with my entire life.’

The Trans-South Wresting promotion has become even more interesting this week with Matt Hardy and Reby announcing they will appear on 7th April 2012 at the Union County Fairgrounds. One to watch out for we think!

WrestleMania 28 has a new mascot in the form of Hornswoggle. He has tweeted that he will be the official mascot for Team Long when Wrestlemania comes to town against Team Laurinaitis, which is expected to be represented by The Bella Twins.

After his acceptance into the Hall Of Fame, Arn Anderson talked to Mike Mooneyham about what he calls the golden years of wrestling ‘Both the WWF and NWA were thriving. Just to be pretty prominently figured into that group of guys is something you can tell your great grandkids about.’

But Anderson did challenge the stamina of the competitors of today. “By the time I got in the spot I had in ‘85, I had three really intensive years of 300-plus matches a year. How good would guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or Batista have been if they would have had 900 matches in their first three years?”

Now a successful WWE Producer, Anderson says he is desperate to get back in the ring when he sees a bout going wrong or sometimes when it is going so right he wants to join in. But Anderson’s biggest concern is that he lived in the wrong time. ‘What kind of value do you reckon Arn Anderson would have to this industry if I walked in the door right now with the knowledge I had at 30 years old and healthy?’ But the only response we have Arn, is that we’ll never know.
