CM Punk goes off on Crosby, Malkin, and Francis following PPV win
Noted hockey fan CM Punk may have been happy about winning his match at AEW's All Out pay-per-view Sunday night, but that didn't do much to stifle his hatred of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Punk was giving a post-match interview at All Out, which took place in his hometown of Chicago, when a reporter asked the Blackhawks superfan his thoughts on Sidney Crosby. Punk let 'er rip.
"F--k Sidney Crosby, f--k [Evgeni] Malkin, f--k, wait, you know what, you know what? F--k Ron Francis, how about that? I'm still f--kin' pissed about..." said Punk, before getting up and walking out.
The Ron Francis crack likely had something to do with this video below. The Penguins and the Blackhawks met up in the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, with both teams not having a lost a game in the previous round. Chicago would get swept in four straight games, with Francis getting what would serve as the game winner in the last game of the series
Punk has let his love of hockey shine several times throughout his pro wrestling career. It's no trouble to tell he actually loves and follows the game. He would have been around 13 at the time of the 92 Stanley Cup Final. A perfect age for a lifelong hatred of a rival team to set in.
