The adults of the professional struggle Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff joined the legendary coach Izzy Martinez to launch the real American freestyle in the hope of bringing sport to a consumer audience while its popularity continues to grow in the United States.
Hogan and Bischoff are longtime friends who have helped set fire to the world of sports entertainment when they created the new world order in the world championship fight and have passed the world fight federation in the assessment war for more than 80 weeks. The two bring their narration approach to the center of the carpet for this unique opportunity.

“The Hulkster” told PK Press Club Digital that, like him and his trading partner Chad Bronstein began to explore the idea of creating a larger place for free struggle, they realized that there was “more meat on the bone” and the distribution landscape was hungry for more live sports.
“While we were starting to dig, we found the athletes (were) very interested. We found a partner who really had an influence in this NCAA champions arena, a gold medal that formed almost everyone in the world that is someone and we decided to start moving forward with this idea,” said Hogan. “And once Chad and I started to enter very deep waters, I said:” Boy, we have to call Eric Bischoff “because production and television and knowing the world of amateur struggle himself, he became the perfect partner to jump in it with us.”
Bischoff, although known for his work in sports entertainment, fought in high school in freestyle and Greco-Roman disciplines. He also won his black belt in martial arts.
He said that when he sat for the first time with Hogan and Bronstein about the idea of a free traditional free wrestling league, the “bulbs” began to start in his head.
“We have been very successful together. We have learned a lot together. We had a lot of success. We had challenges. We have gone through all of this, and when you go through this kind of war in terms of trade with someone and you come out of it and you are still looking forward to doing business with them, it’s a special relationship.”
Bischoff said that the amateur struggle is “incredibly popular” in the United States and that the female side of sport is developing faster than the side of men.

“It is a completely poorly served sport, which means that there is no professional league that allows these lovers to evolve as they would in any other sport and it is a market so badly served, and I know having spent some time in the amateur struggle when he was a child, they are unique athletes,” he said.
“Each athlete is engaged, they must be disciplined, but there is something in individual sports, in particular the fight, it’s just another type of version and you have to be wired a little differently to succeed.”

Bischoff said he and Hogan planned to present them in a way that no one could do before.
Hogan and Bischoff used nostalgia to make people speak on sports world before the announcement of the real American freestyle. They made an old NWO vignette and teased a third man who would join them in this company. The third man turned out to be Martinez.
Martinez is one of the most accomplished wrestling coaches in the United States that he had 27-0 in the 157-pound division at North Idaho College. He resulted in several all-Americans from the NCAA as well as the stars of the UFC Holly Holm, Yair Rodriguez and Jon Jones.
The Olympic silver medalist Kennedy Blades, another student from Martinez, is one of the wrestlers on the list. Real American Freestyle said in a press release that Ben Askren and Zahid Valence should also be included.
“I was an athlete and coach in the wrestling sport, and I could not be more proud of what the real American freestyle team built,” added Martinez, the chief of the farm, added in the press release. “Until now, the wrestlers have not had the opportunity to seek a professional career because there was no adequate funding or attention.
Real American Freestyle also has the support of the capital of the left way, something that the free struggle leagues have never had before. Real American Beer, the Hogan drinking brand, is one of the sponsors. Cassius was also appointed as one of the league investors.
The League said that the struggle recently had the highest athletes among major secondary sports for boys and girls teams, according to a study in 2024.

Hogan told PK Press Club Digital that the president had a permanent invitation for the opening evening on August 30 in Cleveland.
“There is certainly, brother,” said Hogan. “We really hope he will come. It just turned on me when I saw him kissing the American athletes who won. It was simply incredible that he was in it.”
Hogan and Bischoff have both agreed that timing is everything and is the right time to call on an audience un served.
