The Stanley Cup Final may be over, but the war of words between CM Punk and Hulk Hogan isn't.

Punk, a former WWE Superstar-turned-UFC fighter and Hogan, a WWE Hall of Famer, got into it during the Stanley Cup Final when Hogan called The Best in the World out on Twitter and made an allusion to him walking out on the WWE.
Punk is a well known supporter of the Chicago Blackhawks while Hogan rooted for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Following Hogan's comments, Punk blasted the founder of Hulkamania on Twitter and in a video.
The war of words continued when Punk was at the Blackhawks Stanley Cup championship parade on Thursday, three days after Chicago hoisted its third Cup in the last six years.
Punk was on the CSN Chicago panel to ring in the parade and when one of his co-workers alluded to Hogan being a Lightning fan, the former WWE Champion set the record straight.
"No he's not," Punk said, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com. "That's the problem I have with that. If I'm a Lightning fan, I'm embarrassed they hitched their wagon to a guy like that. Doesn't know [captain Steven] Stamkos's name, the captain's name. Icing to him is something he eats three times a day."
Punk said Hogan's not a real fan, unlike him.
"My love for hockey supersedes anything else and I would just like to see people tune in and understand the game and appreciate the game for what it is," he said. "You put something on there like that, it kind of lowers it a little... If I'm a Lightning fan, I want someone to better represent my team. They're a hell of an organization. That paints them in the wrong light."
Hogan took to Twitter after Game 3 of the series, where the Lightning took a 2-1 lead, blasting Punk and the Blackhawks.
"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," Hogan tweeted.
Punk, who attended Game 3, responded on Twitter.
"You mispronounced the team captain's name and didn't even know the coaches name," Punk wrote. "You're a hack. Shut the f--k up or I'll wreck you @HulkHogan."
The Best in the World then decided to shoot a video where he ripped on The Hulkster further.
"Hey everybody, this is CM Punk and obviously I'm live and in living color here at the Madhouse on Madison in front of all of these Blackhawks fans," Punk says in the video. "And we want the Cup. Now normally, the less said about Hulk Hogan the better, but he spoke my name first. So I'd like to point out that the Tampa Bay organization as a whole should be embarrassed for hitching their trailer to such a piece of garbage that pronounced the captain's name wrong [Steven Stamkos] and then called coach Jon Cooper, Jon Connor. Ladies and gentlemen, we're in Chicago and we're real hockey fans and we want the Cup. Tampa Bay's going down."
The Blackhawks took the series in six games, as they did in 2010 and 2013, but they celebrated with the Cup on home ice for the first time since 1938.
