WWE Hall of Famer Felt That a “Rock and Hogan” Moment Could Have Been “Replicated” at Forbidden Door – “Could You Imagine”

AEW’s PPV ‘Forbidden Door’ received a widely positive response from the fans with 15,000 of them packing the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Fans thronged the event to catch their favorite wrestlers in action.

One particular match got the entire stadium erupting in chaos when hardcore heavyweights Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley entered the ring to face each other. The match in contention was a 10-man tag team match which Eddie’s team eventually won. But the match between AEW’s CM Punk and NJPW’s Satoshi Kojima that night got more attention for other reasons.

CM Punk poked fun at Hulk Hogan by doing his signature leg drop

This match was special as it was Punk’s first pay-per-view match after being away for 10 months due to a torn tricep injury. Also, it was the first-round match in the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament. Punk eventually won the match by locking in the ‘Anaconda Vice’ submission move.

While fans thoroughly enjoyed the match because of Punk’s in-ring athleticism. He also did something to mock two-time Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan. During the match, while Kojima was on the floor. He mimicked Hogan while trying to hear the fans and then did his signature leg drop. Displeased fans started booing him.

But Hall Of Famer Bully Ray felt that Hogan’s leg drop clubbed with another famous wrestler’s move would definitely get the fans electrified. On a recent episode of the ‘Busted Open’ podcast, Bully said, “I don’t even know if I would have thought about this beforehand, could you imagine if Kojima and Punk. Because Punk is doing the Hogan leg drop, could you imagine if Kojima and Punk would have replicated Rock and Hogan for a moment? If Kojima would have done you know a Rock Bottom, kicking out one-two, then the leg drop, imagine they would have taken that portion of Rock and Hogan from WrestleMania and replicated it.”

Obviously, fans would find this major throwback to WrestleMania 18 as very entertaining. But this was not the first time that Punk took an open dig at The Hulkster.

CM Punk mocked Hulk Hogan on a podcast in 2021

This incident took place in 2021 when CM Punk was a guest on the podcast ‘Barstool Rasslin’. So when the host asked him how he felt when fans went crazy for him as only two great superstars might know that feeling, Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk.

In response to that comparison, Punk replied that Austin is the biggest star in pro wrestling and said it is subjective while calling Hogan a “piece of s**t”

So it definitely seems like CM Punk doesn’t have a soft spot for Hogan. And looking at his in-ring antics, seems like he might be ready to taunt The Hulkster once again. We still have to see what Hogan has to say in response to this. But do you feel CM Punk was right in making fun of Hogan by doing his signature leg drop?
