Blackhawks fan CM Punk relentlessly trolls Kings mascot for missing playoffs
CM Punk is considered by many, including himself, to be the best pro wrestler in the world. He’s also a really, really big Chicago Blackhawks fan.
The wrestler-turned-UFC fighter is living the dream right now. After a messy divorce from the WWE, Punk is gearing up for his UFC debut later this year. He also gets to spend more time with his wife, former WWE diva AJ Lee, after she retired earlier this month.
Perhaps above all of that, though, Punk is a happy guy because it’s Stanley Cup playoff time. Punk is a hardcore hockey fan to the point where his Twitter avatar is Paul Newman’s Reggie Dunlop character from the famous hockey movie “Slap Shot”. Being a Chicago native, Punk obviously is a huge 'Hawks fan, which means he also can’t stand stand the Los Angeles Kings.
Punk and the Kings have a bit of a history, which led to this vicious attack from Bailey, the Kings’ mascot.
Punk also once lost a bet with Bailey, which left the wrestler wearing a Kings sweater.
With the Blackhawks in the playoffs and the Kings on the outside looking in, Punk isn’t ready to let go of his grudge. He sent a series of tweets Wednesday night to remind the Kings and Bailey of that very fact.
.@BaileyLAKings oh I just puked in my mouth. Acting like that after 20 minutes? You must not watch much hockey...just like most @kings fans

I'll take comments from any other bug eyed mascot, but not one that didn't even make the playoffs. @BaileyLAKings

I know why you live in LA. Fair weather. Just like you and the @LAKings fans. @BaileyLAKings

How many @AnaheimDucks games are you going to in this lovely post season? @BaileyLAKings

I heard the @LAKings were on their way to a new golf course called "playoffs" today but they got lost going there. @BaileyLAKings

I picture you naked and alone in a basement beating your drum, staring at a pic of @AnzeKopitar while the sad Incredible Hulk music plays.

That last one was for @BaileyLAKings but I couldn't get his name in the tweet just like the @LAKings couldn't get into the playoffs.

Next season the ice at the staples center will be made out of frozen tears from @LAKings fans. If they can find enough fans. @BaileyLAKings

Take it away, Jim Ross.
That verbal beatdown finally got to Bailey, who sent this tweet after Punk’s relentless Twitter badgering.
Dear @cmpunk I will live to fight another day #youwinthisbattlebutnotthewar pic.twitter.com/QzIMDcuvYj

Punk also got the last laugh regarding what happened on the ice, too, as the Blackhawks erased a three-goal deficit to beat the Nashville Predators in overtime.
