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.
So pumped to be back on the mats and help @rafwrestlingusa blow up!! ---- @HulkHogan @EBischoff pic.twitter.com/zghtlgtvhZ
