Fox Nation has been chosen as the sole broadcaster for Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s Real American Freestyle Wrestling league. The first event, RAF01, is scheduled for August 30th at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Another event, which will also be streamed on Fox News’ subscription video platform, is planned for the fall, with the venue yet to be determined.
The Real American Freestyle (often referred to as RAF by wrestling legends) is a type of wrestling competition, similar to the Olympics but with more professional wrestling drama. It’s not like WWE, but it has its share of flair and showmanship. Chad Bronstein is one of the three partners in this league.
Lauren Petterson, Fox Nation president, expressed excitement about collaborating with the Real American Freestyle team as they craft a groundbreaking brand that reshapes the landscape of wrestling. By combining top-tier athleticism with unprecedented entertainment, it’s a privilege to contribute to the cutting-edge phase of this ancient and legendary sport.
Hogan, head of Real American Freestyle, stated that we’re pioneering uncharted territory, requiring a collaborator who grasps our vision and can help us construct it. Fox Nation aligns seamlessly with our brand, values the significance of making this sport accessible to all, and shares our ambition.
Hogan, known for his lengthy heroic entrance theme “Real American,” clearly embodies this image. He’s supported Trump at multiple gatherings, such as the Republican National Convention, and he’s also one of the founders and endorsers of the beer brand, Real American Beer.
Immediately grasping our concept for Real American Freestyle, Fox Nation emerged as an ideal collaborator for this groundbreaking media rights agreement – the first of its kind in the sport,” Bischoff, ex-WCW creative head and current RAF chief media officer, remarked. “Securing the right broadcast partner is crucial to delivering a top-notch show to fans, and we’re delighted to be teaming up with Fox for this endeavor.
As the mastermind behind Real American Freestyle, I, along with my team, aimed to elevate wrestling from a pastime to a professional sport. Our strategic alliance with Fox Nation is set to establish an ideal stage for our athletes and deliver the electrifying experience of freestyle wrestling straight into the living rooms of our fans.
The league’s head coach is none other than iconic freestyle wrestler Izzy Martinez. Meanwhile, Kurt Angle, a renowned figure in both types of wrestling, has taken on the role of commentator. Additionally, former MMA champions Chael Sonnen and Bubba Jenkins will lend their expertise as analysts during the promotion’s inaugural live event.
So far, the first card features these matches:
* Bo Nickal against Jacob Cardenas
* Yianni Diakomihalis versus Bajrang Punia
* Darrion Caldwell taking on Real Woods
* Austin Gomez battling Lance Palmer
* Kennedy Blades competing with Alejandra Rivera
* Sarah Hildebrandt going up against Zeltzin Hernandez
