CM Punk Angry With Hulk Hogan Over Stanley Cup Trash Talk

It's all about the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals.

CM Punk has been lashing out on Twitter against WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, who mentioned Punk's name first as it relates to the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals. Punk's favorite team the Chicago Blackhawks are against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Hogan is from Tampa, so he decided to bring Punk's name up, which has apparently infuriated the former WWE star who is now training for a career in UFC. It started with Hogan doing an interview with ESPN that was shared online with Hogan saying: "Chicago's in a lot of trouble. I'm going home this week, and I think I'm going to have a little talk with some of the Lightning guys. Chicago's in a whole bunch of trouble, brother." CM Punk fired back at Hogan: "Normally the less said about Hulk Hogan the better, but he spoke my name first. 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!" Then fans around him chanted "We Want The Cup" and it felt like it was all in good fun. Following Tampa Bay's 3-2 win last night in Chicago (Punk was at the game) to take a 2-1 series lead, Hogan did a tweet where he celebrated the win while also taking a hot at CM Punk going home, which is a reference to when Punk walked out of WWE in 2014. https://twitter.com/HulkHogan/status/608126616993202176 Less than an hour after that, Punk fired back at Hogan with some very harsh words. https://twitter.com/CMPunk/status/608136997249654784
