WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 14)
4. Punk The Punk
Punk, come on, just chill out a bit man! Yes, Hulk Hogan is a hack, but everyone knows that! Its not like its a secret of any sort. Give the man a few bucks, and hell shill everything and anything you want him to. But hes harmless. So threatening to beat him up because he doesn't like a different hockey team as much as you do is juvenile. Sure, Hulk may not be a huge fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and yeah, he screwed up the name of their coach, but he has done publicity for the organization for over a decade now. That should count for something. It all started with a TV host asking Hogan about Punks Chicago Blackhawks. Hogan smiled his way through his standard Hoganesque promo, and basically said his team would beat Punks. Pretty standard, inoffensive stuff. Youd think Punk could have a little bit of fun with it, or just shake his head and move on. Nope. Of course not! This is old Crabby Pants Punk were talking about. He took this thing to the next level, brother. Youre a hack. Shut the f**k up or Ill wreck you. He Tweeted at Hogan. Holy hell! What kind of overreaction is that? Hogan is 25 years his senior, with legendarily terrible back problems, so the explosive response is flat-out bizarre. I want to miss this guy in a WWE ring, but he makes it so hard.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
