WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart spoke with Sports Illustrated recently and revealed that he doesn’t see Daniel Bryan ever wrestling again. Hart opened up about several other topics, including Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. You can read the highlights below:

Daniel Bryan being done in WWE:

“Daniel Bryan is finished. He’ll never wrestle again. I don’t think he knows it yet. I feel terrible about Daniel Bryan. For all intents and purposes, he had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to me after Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head. One day, you learn it’s over. Doctors tell you that you can’t wrestle and you’ll never wrestle again. I lost millions of dollars because of that. I pray that it’s not the same for Daniel Bryan.”

His feelings on Seth Rollins:

“Seth Rollins is one of the hardest working wrestlers I’ve ever seen. He’s one of those rare guys in the industry today who is an innovator and a guy who creates new ideas, moves, and psychology. I know I got really excited about wrestling again after watching CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, but now neither one of those guys is around, and Seth Rollins is going to carry the company. His timing is impeccable and he does a lot of challenging, creative, complex stuff.”

Roman Reigns not getting over:

“It was so manufactured that it hurt someone who was naturally getting over on his own. As soon as the company decided they were going to make him the star, people started to sour on him. Roman Reigns is a really good wrestler and he’ll find his path. He turned the corner at WrestleMania when the fans accepted him on his own merit just ’cause he had a great match. But, in the creation of Roman Reigns, he seems to now be a lot like Triple H’s character. Long hair, indestructible, no facials, he’s always angry, and there’s no softness in his eyes, so it’s very hard to get sympathy. All of that was poorly thought out.

Hart also goes on to criticize WWE’s creative team, as well as offering some final words for Dusty Rhodes. You can read the full Sports Illustrated interview at this link.

– FOX Sports has an article here about CM Punk appearing at the Chicago Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup parade yesterday. They noted that he appeared to have had a blast at the event.

– FOX Sports also posted an article about Punk appearing on the Anik and Florian podcast and talking about possibly delaying his UFC debut, that we mentioned earlier this week.

“I’m learning a lot every day. I hear people saying training for a fight is harder than the actual fight,” Punk said. “If that’s true, then once I step in the Octagon, I will have no problem whatsoever. … I know Duke has told me, and I think he’s been public with it, that he would like me for a full 12 months before he’d sign off on me fighting.

“I think a lot of people are antsy. There’s people on Twitter saying, ‘Oh, you’re never gonna fight.’ This was just announced in what, November, December? I’ve been training full time for like six months. As bad as I have the itch to get in there, I want to be as prepared as possible. I wouldn’t be upset if it got pushed to 2016.”

– Yet another story from FOX Sports at this link about CM Punk and UFC President Dana White commenting on his debut during a Periscope Q&A session today. White said that Punk will make his UFC debut when he’s ready.

“CM Punk is training hard, he’s getting a lot of respect from fighters and trainers in the business,” White said. “He’s going to let me know when he’s ready.”

– In the final bit of Punk news, he confirmed on Twitter that he will be at UFC Fight Week next month:

The Rock appeared on The Dan Patrick Show to promote the premiere of Ballers on HBO this Sunday. During the interview, The Rock talked about playing with Warren Sapp at Miami, and Sapp taking his spot on the team.

“He looked at me and said, I gotta tell you man, I’m taking your spot,” Rock recalled. “I said you ain’t taking my spot. And then about six months later he took my spot.”

Rock was also asked if Sapp or Ray Lewis would have made a better pro wrestler. Rock revealed that there were plans for Lewis to wrestle during the Attitude Era. He said that WWE was really close to booking a big tag team match pitting Lewis and himself at WrestleMania against “whoever the top heels at the time – probably Triple H and someone else.” He said that the match was very close to happening, but fell through due to scheduling.

Rock also talked about suffering a wardrobe malfunction during his first match. He said that in his first WWE match he borrowed trunks from King Tonga, and noted that Tonga’s trunks were a lot bigger than his waist and “there was a little bit of a malfunction” with things popping out.

Indie wrestlers Dustin and Derek Mehl, who are twin brothers that work as the Suburban Commandos in California and Nevada, worked day 1 of the recent WWE tryouts at the Performance Center in Orlando but did not return for day 2. Apparently day 2 was the hardest of the week because it was cardio day.

There were a lot of wrestlers upset because WWE pays for transportation and lodging when talents are brought in for tryout camps and most of the talents working the camp knew other wrestlers who would have done anything to be there. Dustin and Derek, who have worked for Hoodslam recently, were seen as two guys who blew the camp off after one day and took spots away from others.

CM Punk Blasts Hulk Hogan Again

As noted earlier,CM Punk appeared in the video above last week and blasted Hulk Hogan for his recent comments regarding the Tampa Bay Lightning taking on Punk’s Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.

“Normally the less said about Hulk Hogan the better, but he spoke my name first,” Punk exclaimed. “The Tampa Bay organization should be embarrassed for hitching their trailer to such a piece of garbage that pronounced the captain’s name wrong, and then called coach John Cooper, John Connor! Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in Chicago and we’re real hockey fans and we want the cup! Tampa Bay’s going down!”

Hogan and Punk then had a bit of a Twitter fight, leading to Punk calling Hogan a “hack” and writing, “shut the f-ck up or I’ll wreck you @HulkHogan”

Punk ripped into Hogan again this afternoon as a member of the CSN Chicago panel for the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup parade. Punk’s feud was Hogan was mentioned, and it was noted by Pat Boyle on the panel that Hogan was a “Tampa Bay Lightning fan.”

“No he’s not,” Punk replied (props to Yahoo! Sports for the transcription). “That’s the problem I have with that. If I’m a Lightning fan, I’m embarrassed they hitched their wagon to a guy like that. Doesn’t know Stamkos’s name, the captain’s name. Icing to him is something he eats three times a day.

“My love for hockey supersedes anything else and I would just like to see people tune in and understand the game and appreciate the game for what it is. You put something on there like that, it kind of lowers it a little… If I’m a Lightning fan, I want someone to better represent my team. They’re a hell of an organization. That paints them in the wrong light.”
