In a surprising turn of events, FOX Nation is pushing forward with “Real American Freestyle,” the wrestling series co-founded by the legendary Hulk Hogan, even after his recent passing. It seems Hogan’s spirit is too powerful to keep down—much like his signature leg drop. The first event is set to stream on August 30th in Cleveland, and it’s a grand tribute to an icon who inspired millions. The show was already complete before Hogan’s departure, ensuring that fans will still get to see the spectacle he envisioned.
The news has hit the wrestling community hard, with FOX Nation President Lauren Petterson openly mourning Hogan’s contributions to the sport. Petterson reflected on how Hogan shaped the world of professional wrestling. You can just picture her shaking her head, holding back tears, and reminiscing about those colorful bandanas and famous catchphrases. Meanwhile, Chad Bronstein, CEO of “Real American Freestyle,” called Hogan a true champion both in and out of the ring, emphasizing how his legacy will continue to live on through this new venture.
As fans prepare for this major event, it’s hard not to wonder—how will they make it feel special without the larger-than-life figure to cheer for? Wrestling has always been about connections, and Hogan’s fans are hoping this series delivers a fitting tribute. So, what do you think? Can these new wrestlers step up and fill the giant shoes left behind? Let’s hear your thoughts below!
