On November 27, 2014 (this can't have happened four years ago, time sucks), Colt Cabana (Scott Colton) had CM Punk (Philip Jack Brooks) on The Art of Wrestling Podcast, where Punk said a bunch of things about WWE's Dr. Christopher Amann. Amann was very unhappy about this and sued them. Punk and Cabana won, the heroes reigns triumphant, and the day was saved.

Then Punk demanded a little over $250,000 from Cabana for legal costs, which Cabana is claiming Punk agreed to cover.

And here we are.

If anyone has a better summary of the case (or if anything in this post is misrepresenting it, or if new evidence arises), go for it and I'll add it to the OP.

Here are publicly available documents regarding the case, including Cabana's complaint, his demands (approximately 1.25 million + legal fees for this case), and evidence. Effectively, these documents, at the moment, are Colt Cabana's case against Punk. These were accquired by David Bixenspan, and his work in getting these documents is appreciated.

The Complaint: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753906-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Original.html
Exhibit A: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753907-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-A.html
Exhibit B (Colt/Punk texts after getting the Amann demand email): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753908-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-B.html
Exhibit C (Colt/Punk texts after getting the Amann demand physical copy): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753909-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-C.html
Exhibit D (Colt/Punk agreement with Punk's lawyers, which Colt claims says Punk is responsible for any legal fees): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753910-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-D.html
Exhibit E (Part of the Punk e-mail where he demands Cabana pay for legal fees): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753911-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-E.html
Exhibit F (Colt changing representation from Punk's team to Carey Stein): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753912-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-F.html
Exhibit G (E-mail chain between Cabana and Sunny Brenner of the firm representing Punk regarding the status of representation and legal fees going forward): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753913-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-G.html
Exhibit H (Punk's legal team withdrawing themselves as Cabana's counsel): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4753914-08-07-2018-Colton-Complaint-Exhibit-H.html

I'm sure as this progresses we'll see more and more evidence and drama, and I'm not making this thread to keep it all in here, but this at least acts as a spot where we can keep things semi-organized.
