WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recently shared that he is a huge supporter of former WWE Champion CM Punk, who made his shocking return to WWE last year after nearly a decade away. Punk has also become a major attraction in the promotion. He has been involved in top storylines with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, and his rivalry with McIntyre is turning out to be one of the best of this year.
Recently, on WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre again claimed CM Punk’s fan-made bracelet. However, the situation became tense when he tore the bracelet and forced Punk to swallow it. With the bracelet destroyed, their rivalry has now become even more heated.
Since his return, CM Punk has continued to deliver standout performances. His outspoken personality has resonated deeply with fans, and he has consistently used the platform to address both personal and professional issues.
Whether speaking out about industry politics, challenging the higher-ups, or sharing his personal struggles, his straightforwardness has made him a top figure in professional wrestling. It appears that, despite making himself a polarizing figure, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has appreciated these qualities.
Hulk Hogan praises CM Punk for speaking the truth & being direct
WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recently shared his thoughts on CM Punk with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestlebinge. He praised Punk’s authenticity and credibility in the ring, noting that Punk has a genuine, rebellious attitude. He admired how Punk openly expresses his opinions and addresses issues others might avoid, calling him a “truth-teller.”
He stated, “First off, he’s very believable. He’s very, very believable in the ring. He just seems real. He’s got that outlaw mentality. But the cool part about him is that he speaks the truth and he’s very opinionated and a lot of people agree with his opinion.”
“It’s kind of like a lot of stuff that people are afraid to say, he’ll say it. He’s like a truth-teller. So he really has it figured out which is cool, which is why I’d really like him to stay healthy and not have any more accidents because I want to see this CM Punk last for years,” Hogan continued.
While Hogan is a fan of CM Punk, the feelings aren’t mutual. Recently, an old video of Punk surfaced online in which he expressed that he isn’t a fan of Hulkamania.
