AEW issues a statement on the passing of Hulk Hogan, who passed away following a cardiac arrest at the age of 71.

All Elite Wrestling, through Tony Schiavone, paid tribute to the memory of Hulk Hogan on the July 26 AEW Saturday Collision. The speech was focused on Hogan’s achievements in WCW and the fact that Hogan has a family and people who care about him, which Tony issued condolences on behalf of the promotion.

“It was quite a week for all of us who have been in professional wrestling for a long time with the unexpected death of Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan was a man who brought professional wrestling into the mainstream in the 80s and in the 90s, right here on this network, right here on TNT, almost 30 years ago, Hulk Hogan lit the fire that began the Monday Night Wars, and he also put WCW on the cable TV map right here on TNT. Sometimes, we take a look at these stars who are bigger than life and we forget that they are, just like us, human. We forget they have families that care about them. Are condolences go out to Hulk’s family, his children Brooke and Nick, his wife Sky. If you’ve never lost a member of your family, you have no idea they pain they are going through right now. Believe you me, it is intense. From all us here at All Elite Wrestling, RIP, brother,” said Schiavone.
