"Hogan is a piece of..." - CM Punk takes massive shot at WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan
CM Punk had some strong words for Hulk Hogan during a recent interview and it's safe to say he's not a fan.
CM Punk spoke to Barstool Rasslin', and when his 'pop' on AEW was compared to Stone Cold Steve Austin, he commented that Austin was a bigger star than Hogan, whom he said was also a piece of 's***.'
"There has always been people that have gotten to a certain level, and they're almost thought, and the culture is fostered for them to believe that they need to make sure that nobody else gets to that level. CM Punk said. They don't want anybody 'to steal their spot.' You throwing my name with somebody like Steve Austin, who is arguably the biggest star the business has ever seen. A lot of this is subjective, though, right? Like you can make the argument, that, oh no, Hulk Hogan is a bigger star than Steve Austin, but then you look at business periods and eras and box office receipts and like all that other stuff. I think Hogan is a piece of s***. So, obviously, I'm going to be like Steve Austin, yay, but that's another podcast."
