Real American Freestyle, the new, unscripted freestyle wrestling organization, today announced that the legendary Kurt Angle will serve as live event commentator, analyst and partner for the burgeoning brand.
He joins Chael Sonnen and Bubba Jenkins for RAF01 on August 30 in Cleveland, OH at the Wolstein Center. Tickets for the company’s inaugural event are on-sale now via Ticketmaster.
“Kurt Angle is a living legend. He’s achieved every accomplishment he could in wrestling, so it makes sense that he’s partnering with Real American Freestyle as we actively change the name of the game across the sport,” said Hulk Hogan, Commissioner of Real American Freestyle. “Kurt will provide fire, infamy, and unparalleled experience to the commentary and analysis of our live events. We couldn’t be more excited to have him on the Real American team.”
“I grew up freestyle wrestling, and achieved the highest level of success in the sport. I couldn’t be prouder to support athletes at all levels of their careers and partner with Real American Freestyle to make it happen,” said Kurt Angle. “Chael and Bubba will bring a unique aspect to their analysis given their own backgrounds in combat sports, and I’m excited to join them for RAF01 to bring freestyle wrestling to audiences around the world.”
Angle is a natural fit for the elite storytelling of Real American Freestyle, as the team continues to develop the program ahead of RAF01 August 30 in Cleveland, OH. Offering a dynamic modern approach to coverage of the sport, Angle’s appointment is further emblematic of the innovation Real American Freestyle is pursuing for fans of the sport around the world and will serve as the perfect addition to Jenkins and Sonnen’s commentary.
