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.”
