CM Punk has made no secret that Bret Hart is a hero of his, and the Best in the World is never far away from the Hitman. Speaking to GQ Sports, Punk revealed that he always carries a figure of the Canadian wrestling icon with him.
\”He travels in my fanny pack with me because I often will find myself in situations where I ask myself… What would Bret Hart do?\
Calling the figure a \”totem,\” Punk is pleased to have a connection to his \”old-school roots\” with him when he travels. After growing up as a Bret Hart fan, Punk is now honored to have a connection to Bret beyond the figure.
\”Bret\’s a mentor of mine. I can text him right now and ask him what he thinks in the world… I feel fortunate that I am able to do that.\
Bret Hart will soon become WWE\’s first three-time Hall of Famer as his iconic WrestleMania 13 showdown with Steve Austin will be the first \’Immortal Moment\’ inducted. And with Punk being such a fan of the Best there is/was/ever will be, it\’s only fitting that he will be on hand to induct the match on the eve of WrestleMania 41.
