Ben Askren recently shared his thoughts on being part of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s new venture, Real American Freestyle Wrestling.
The former UFC fighter took to X to express his excitement about being part of a project that blends the presentation of big-time pro wrestling with high-level freestyle amateur wrestling. Askren noted that he’s previously turned down pitches to work with start-up leagues, but he’s intrigued by the foundation Hogan and Bischoff provide.
He’s looking forward to throwing around young bucks when RAF starts in the Fall.
