    Influential pundit Stephen A. Smith labelled youngest brother Jake a ‘joke’ on Christmas Eve after he called out pound-for-pound star Canelo Alvarez.
    But WWE legend and ex-UFC star Punk said he was impressed by the brothers’ showmanship as they pulled in the viewers.
    He told Cageside Seats: “If you’re making money, you’re technically not really doing anything wrong.
    “I think everything’s entertainment. I think some people conflate being a fighter with being an entertainer, but when it makes dollars, it makes sense. 
    “And what the Paul brothers are doing, I think for the lack of a better term, it’s old school pro wrestling, right?
    “You could say they’re crossing over, but there’s so many similarities between the two businesses. They command attention.

    “People want to see them get knocked out. They know this, but they’re putting themselves out there. They’re putting themselves on the line.”
    Jake recently scored a knockout win over former UFC champ Tyron Woodley after Britain’s Tommy Fury withdrew from their scheduled bout.
    Older brother Logan has faced the great Floyd Mayweather inside the ropes.
    And Punk admitted he was impressed by the hard work put in by the Pauls – even if they’re not to everyone’s liking.
    He added: “I’ll never criticiSe in a negative way or fashion anybody who makes the walk, anybody who trains their ass off. Because I did it and I know what it takes. 
    “And you put yourself out there, you put yourself on the line, you know? And a lot of the times, a lot of the sacrifice goes unnoticed. But it’s what it is.” More

      Jericho defeated The Pinnacle’s Dax Harwood in singles action, with Tyson acting as the ‘Special Enforcer’ for the match.
      During the clash, the heavyweight icon planted one of his trademark right hands on Cash Wheeler, who was laid out.
      The 54-year-old looks in sensational shape as he continues his comeback trail in the ring.
      Tyson in November came out of retirement, 15 years after his last fight, to face fellow legend Roy Jones Jr, 52.
      The pair boxed to a draw over eight exhibition rounds and both are already planning to fight again.
      But still Tyson is set to make a run in AEW and could even one day end up facing Jericho, who he rivalled in WWE.
      Jericho, 50, told Digital Spy: “It’s not to say that Mike and I won’t fight each other again in the future.
      “We’ve been feuding with each other on-and-off since 2010, so it’s been a decade as it stands.

      “He loves AEW, he respects wrestling and we feel the same way, so I have no doubt in my mind that Mike will be back in AEW whenever he feels like he wants to come back.”
      Jericho is also hoping to team up with the two-time heavyweight champion in a tag match.
      He said: “Mike Tyson means viewers, Mike Tyson means Box Office and, you know, he looks great, he looks the part, he’s very believable.
      “Last week I told him, ‘Nobody is better at being Mike Tyson than you are, so just be Mike’. He’s going to go do whatever he feels.
      “That’s one of the reasons why we love having him – he’s very unpredictable, and that’s exactly what you expect and what you want when you work with him.”

      Anthony Ogogo WINS debut pro wrestling match on AEW Dynamite in devastating fashion with brutal KO

      by

      FORMER boxer Anthony Ogogo made a stunning AEW debut with a devastating win against Cole Karter.Ogogo, a Team GB Olympian, was forced to give up on his pro boxing dreams after suffering sickening eye injuries.

      Karter was in a world of pain and the fight was waved offCredit: Instagram / @allelitewrestling
      He had NINE operations in total – and once shared a gruesome photo of his eye BLEEDING when he was out and about.
      But the 32-year-old is back on the winning path – in wrestling.
      Ogogo has always been a WWE fan, and now he is taking steps into the sports entertainment with AEW.
      The Lowestoft fighter has joined QT Marshall’s new stable – and they will have been impressed with what they saw.
      Ogogo delivered a brutal body shot that left Karter crumpled in a heap and unable to continue.
      The referee waved off the fight and Ogogo’s hand was raised in triumph.
      Ogogo, having won all 11 professional fights, was well on his way to the top in boxing until he came up against fellow Brit Craig Cunningham in Birmingham five years ago.
      It was a huge shock when he was stopped in the eighth round.

      Cunningham — with one blow — shattered his eye socket which resulted in him suffering severe double vision.
      Though he did not realise it as he walked back to his dressing room, Ogogo’s career was over at 26.
      Reluctantly, he was then forced to announce his retirement from boxing.
      Even before his eye problems, he had to overcome a series of injuries that would have filled at least a couple of pages of medical journal The Lancet.
      He had eight operations on a troublesome Achilles, plus three shoulder  dislocations, broken bones in his hands, cracked ribs and damaged ligaments and tendons.
      But now he is adjusting to life in a new ring – a wrestling one.

      Brit Olympian Anthony Ogogo turns heel on AEW and delivers huge body punch in first big appearance in wrestling career

      He then transitioned into commentary and featured alongside pro wrestling legend Tazz.
      Now it seems his in-ring debut is drawing closer as he attacked Cody Rhodes and cut a heel promo on Twitter.
      He captioned a video of the incident: “The crunch of a mans ribs beneath your knuckles, the involuntary noise he makes as air leaves his body, the wince on his face as he crumbles in pain.
      “I am everything you don’t want to see standing across from you in a ring. I am violence, with a smile. I am The Guv’nor.”
      Ogogo won bronze at the London Games in 2012 and made a smooth transitions into the pros following his 2013 debut.
      He then won all 11 fights when he faced fellow Brit Craig Cunningham in Birmingham in 2016.
      Ogogo was stopped in eight round and handed the first defeat of his career.
      But it would also be his last, having shattered his eye socket which resulted in him suffering severe double vision.

      Ogogo over two years had NINE eye operations in an attempt to restore his sight to the British Boxing Board of Control’s high safety standards.
      But ultimately he did not prevail and would instead embark on a pro wrestling career.
      And last year, Ogogo revealed he turned down WWE in favour of newbies AEW.
      He told the Evening Standard: “I had a choice of WWE and AEW and I chose AEW. I loved the company and loved Cody’s (Rhodes) vision.
      “But I want to be part of something really special. The choice was simple.
      “I’ve got things I want to achieve in my life that I wasn’t able to achieve in boxing. But I still want to achieve those things. 
      “Now I can look to achieve them in a slightly different arena in the world of professional wrestling.”
