On Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, All Elite Wrestling paid tribute to Hulk Hogan. Tony Schiavone said the following about Hogan’s death on commentary:
“It was quite a week for all of us who’ve been in professional wrestling for a long time with the unexpected death of Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan was the man who brought professional wrestling into the mainstream of 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. You know, sometimes we take a look at these stars that are bigger than life and we forget that they are just like us, human. And we forget they have families that care about.
Our condolences go out to Hulk’s family, his children: Brooke and Nick, his wife Sky. And if you’ve never lost a member of your family, you have no idea what the pain they’re going through right now. And believe you me… it is intense. From all of us here at All Elite Wrestling, RIP brother.”
