WWE Legend Eric Bischoff Gives an Interesting Reply After Fan Compares CM Punk With Hulk Hogan Amidst Recent Controversies

Hulk Hogan was and is one of the most popular pro wrestlers ever. His charismatic nature and physique became one of the main factors behind his huge success in every company he was in. Hogan was a crowd drawer, and he became the face of WWF during the Golden era.

The 1980s and the early 90s saw Hogan as a driving force behind WWF/WWE’s success. The Golden era comprised several top wrestlers. Fans still fondly remember his bouts with The Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, and Randy Savage. When Hulk Hogan left WWE and joined WCW, he became one of the top stars even there as well.

Recently, after the AEW All Out Media Scrum and CM Punk’s controversial comments, one Twitter user compared him with Hollywood Hogan.
