Hulk Hogan calls out CM Punk on Twitter following Lightning's Game 3 victory
The biggest feud developing in the Stanley Cup Final isn't even happening on the ice.
Professional wrestlers Hulk Hogan and CM Punk have made their allegiances known in the series, with Hogan backing the Tampa Bay Lightning and Punk rooting for his hometown Chicago Blackhawks, and the trash talk hit new levels following Tampa Bay's Game 3 victory.
Like I said the Blackhawks are in a whole lot of trouble,they should take their puck"punk" and go home,CM can show them the way brother HH

For his part, Punk has actively chirped Lightning netminder Ben Bishop over Twitter, seizing on Bishop's alleged Game 2 bathroom break in a series of tweets:
Did Bishop shit himself or what?

Bishop totally shit himself.

Really hoping to see some sort of bootleg "bishop pooped his pants" merch being sold outside the @UnitedCenter

Oscar worth dive by Bishop at the end there. #shitpants

Punk has yet to respond to Hogan's incendiary subtweet, but he could be waiting for the Blackhawks to respond in a way that matters in Game 4 on Wednesday.
