hulk hogan: WWE vs wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff? Here’s all you need to know about it
13
Pro-wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has officially blown the cover off his latest project, a new wrestling promotion. The WWE Hall of Famer has teamed up with Eric Bischoff, the promoter who steered WCW towards mainstream success before the brand ceased to exist in 2001. Their new venture reimagines the way traditional pro-wrestling promotions function. The Real American Freestyle, as the name suggests, seeks to commercialise amateur-style wrestling. According to Bischoff, it will be “unscripted”.
FAQs
Real American Freestyle: What is it?
Hogan described Real American Freestyle as a “legitimate sports competition”, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Indicating the absence of any predetermined storylines, he stressed that the upcoming promotion will have unmatched “integrity”. However, on the other hand, Hogan has promised that the brand will feature “high-impact moves” that are meant to “captivate” new-age audiences. Only time will tell how well the two ideas coexist in the real world.
The duo teased the freestyle-wrestling league through a series of promotional videos on social media. They also said that the partnership is expected to expand further with Izzy Martinez, who founded Izzy Style Wrestling.
Hulk Hogan’s experiment with freestyle wrestling
Hogan’s leaning towards freestyle wrestling reportedly began after his stepson’s insistence that ultimately led him to enjoy it. As his familiarity with the wrestling style grew with time, the WWE veteran started believing in its potential for profitability, according to the Associated Press. He is slated to lead Real American Freestyle as its commissioner.
Hogan reportedly expects the upcoming league to become an avenue of greater income potential for a sport that has traditionally remained untouched from big bucks. He and Bischoff told The Hollywood Reporter that Real American Wrestling will present amateur wrestlers with an opportunity to earn in “seven figures”.
Real American Freestyle: How will it look?
Another significant deviation that Real American Freestyle will have over the usual pro-wrestling promotions is that it will have different weight classes. The freestyle-wrestling competition will reportedly have eight such categories for men and four for women.
The league’s inaugural event is slated to take place on August 30 this year, AP noted. It will be held in Cleveland. The venues for further events are likely to be announced in coming months.
