Hulk Hogan and Superstar Billy Graham react to CM Punk promo:
Hulk Hogan was positive in his reaction to Raw's closing segment...
“I think CM PUNK has stepped up and proved he can hold his own with anybody in the ring and anybody on the mic,he’s on a roll. HH.”
Fellow WWE Hall Of Famer Superstar Billy Graham offered a very different take on it, he he claims it was a jab at Bruno Sammartino, who he says will not go into the Hall Of Fame this year...
“IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CM PUNK
I watch the last hour of WWE Raw last night. It was the worst excuse for a show I have ever seen! My agent Scott is tight with legendary World Champion Bruno Sammartino. Scott has told me that WWE has been calling Brunno regularly begging him to go into the Hall of Fame. Bruno has been polite but has always said no thank you.
Tonight on RAW for the last 45 minutes of the show all they did was have CM PUNK talk, talk and more talk! The killer line came when Vince had Punk putting over his 314 straight days as world champ and then said and I quote, ” you had people like Burno Sammartino , only wrestled in Madison Square Garden only wrestled one a month.”
This was by far the biggest put down of Bruno ever. Why would WWE have Punk say that about someone they have been begging to go into the Hall of Fame for untold years? When that teenager looking CM Punk made that statement he was also talking about me, Ivan Koloff , Stan Hanson etc. Find the re run and listen closely and answer me this my Facebook friends – How can they justify putting down a real icon like this, and not get called out on it?
Any news sites can quote me on my statement below:
CM Punk, I have lost all respect for you for nor saying no to the writers of the WWE for saying Bruno Sammartino only wrestled once a month in Madison Square Garden. You talk about one of the greatest icons ever in pro wrestling like he was a JOBBER??? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the self-dignity to say NO to the writers on that line. That line you delivered indicates that I am a big loser like Bruno as well and insults me as I wrestled in the same era as Bruno. This only confirms more that I want my name out of the WWE Hall of Fame.
How many monthly sell outs have you yourself drawn at Madison Square Garden? Not a PPV or the Raw TV show. Quit talking trash about Bruno. It’s an insult to him and all the wrestlers of his era including myself!
Superstar Billy Graham”
Paul Heyman responded via his Twitter...
“I think @CMPunk should defend the title on Hall of Fame Night at #MSG against Superstar Billy Graham! Hey Vince … Be the FLESH PEDDLING PROMOTER we all know you are … BOOK IT!!! Hogan. Flair. Superstar. All great. @CMPunk #BestInTheWorld. That includes you, @TheRock! @WWE #Rumble”
Chris Jericho, who has had his problems with Graham in the past, also tweeted his opinion on this...
''Dear Superstar Billy Graham, Shut the hell up and stop being such a mark. Your Pal, Chris Jericho''

I'm not looking to hang the boots up anytime soon."
