What was a more unexpected, shocking return to WWE — Bret “The Hitman” Hart or “The Best in the World” CM Punk?
If you ask Bully Ray, it is the former.
The Dudley Boyz tag-team member spoke on the latest episode of Busted Open Radio about how “The Hitman” returning to WWE so many years after the Montreal Screwjob was a bigger shock than Punk returning nearly a decade after his public issues with the company.
“I am not buying into this ‘Hell has frozen over,” Ray said. “Oh my God, I can’t believe this happened. This is shocking.’ Yeah, it’s a little shocking for some, but it’s not like we haven’t seen this happen in the world of WWE before. Eric Bischoff stood side by side with Vince McMahon. The Ultimate Warrior came back to WWE. Bret Hart came back to the WWE and shook Shawn Michaels’s hand. You want to talk about ‘Hell freezing over?’ Everybody kissing and making up after the Montreal Screwjob is hell freezing over to me.”
Ray continued, “Time away does things that sometimes are very good. People mature. You’re dealing with a different Triple H, with different responsibilities, and you’re dealing with a different CM Punk.”
