The event took place at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday (30.08.25) for the Fox Nation wrestling special RAF 01.

Before his death from a heart attack at the age of 71 in July, Hulk had founded the Real American Freestyle group.

Honouring his father at the kick-off event, Nick, 35, said: “Hulk, to me, is an icon, a mentor, my father, and my best friend.

“[He was] a force in the sports entertainment industry that will live forever.”

The wrestling legend teamed up with former World Championship Wrestling executive Eric Bischoff on the special promotion.

The streaming deal also includes the league’s second event, scheduled to take place later in the year.

Fox Nation described the events as an “exhilarating experience, packed with action and an immersive show atmosphere”.

Hulk began his wrestling career in 1977 and achieved global fame in the 1980s with the World Wrestling Federation.

He won the WWF Championship six times, with his longest reign lasting a record 1,474 days.

Hulk also secured the WCW World Heavyweight Championship six times, holding the title for a cumulative 1,177 days, the longest in WCW history.
