VIDEO: Maple Leafs' Clune cuts WWE-style promo ripping Predators' Bass

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Rich Clune gave one of the best intermission interviews you'll ever see Tuesday night.

Clune told TSN's Mark Masters what he said to Nashville Predators center Cody Bass when the two tough guys got up close and personal during the pregame warmup prior to the Predators' 3-2 win.

It's as close as the NHL gets to cutting WWE-style promos, and it didn't take long for others to make that connection.

Clune might have a future in wrestling when his hockey career is over.
