Bret Hart Calls CM Punk One Of His Favourite Wrestlers, Wants To Plan A Match With Him

Bret Hart may not be enamoured with the general direction of professional wrestling in 2023, but he has always had a lot of time for CM Punk.

During a recent interview with the TWC Show, The Hitman gushed over the Straight-Edge Superstar and the idea of simply sitting down and working out a match between them, saying:

"(CM) Punk is one of my favourite workers in the business ever and I might give him my jersey today if I see him. But, he's always been one of my most favourite wrestlers.

"It's fun for me to even imagine (facing Punk). Even if we didn't do the match, I wish we could just sit down and plan the match, and then animate it or something".

Hart and Punk have had some previous on-screen interaction. Bret put Punk in the Sharpshooter when he served as guest referee for a tag match in 2011, and also knocked the then-WWE Champion down with a punch during an in-ring segment in 2012.

Punk has made no secret of his own admiration for the two-time WWE Hall of Famer and often pays tribute to Bret in matches.
