The Chicago Tribune is reporting that WWE Champion CM Punk and Colt Cabana will take part in an event in Lakeview on Wednesday to help benefit the Sam Thompson Memorial Fund at the ComedySportz Theatre.
“Thompson, brother of ComedySportz ensemble member Zach Thompson, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 9 months old, underwent a lung transplant and later was diagnosed with stomach cancer before dying in June. “(Sam was) a die-hard wrestling fan. All the bills added up, and we’re trying to raise money to help out.”
