info_outlineWelcome to Wrestling Tonight: Chad returns with Acefield Retro for your weekly deep dive into WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and everything in between.
On July 24, 2025, the wrestling world lost its most recognizable icon. Terry Bollea, Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71, leaving behind a legacy as towering as his persona. From Saturday morning cartoons to WrestleMania main events, Hogan was the face that launched wrestling into pop culture. But his story is as complicated as it is influential.
This week, we reflect on the full scope of Hogan’s life, the glory, the controversy, and the impact that can still be felt across every locker room in the world. WWE opened SmackDown with a ten-bell salute. NJPW honored him during G1 Climax. TNA, where he wrestled his final match, dedicated an entire broadcast in his memory. And yet, as the tributes poured in, so did the uncomfortable reminders of the man behind the myth.
We break it all down:
– The reverence and reckoning: how fans, wrestlers, and promoters are responding
– Hogan’s final weeks, his real cause of death, and conflicting reports that preceded it
– A career that spanned generations — from Hulkamania to the nWo and beyond
– A legacy not easily defined, but impossible to ignore
Also this week:
🔥 WWE SummerSlam 2025 Preview – The full two-night card is set, and the tag titles will hang high in a six-team TLC war. We look at every match, from Punk vs. Gunther to Cena vs. Rhodes, and why WWE canceled its late-night crossover event.
💥 G1 Climax Update – Konosuke Takeshita vs. Shingo Takagi delivers a show-stealer, but Gabe Kidd’s injury forces his tournament withdrawal. With B Block tightening, the road to the semifinals just got more unpredictable.
👑 Triplemania Shake-Up – Dominik Mysterio stuns the AAA crowd, inserting himself into the Mega Championship match. Plus: El Grande Mexicano debuts, and Natalya steps into the AAA ring.
🦴 Slammiversary Fallout – Moose may be sidelined after a scary bump during his title defense. What does this mean for TNA’s summer plans and its rising stars like Leon Slater?
📺 AEW’s Wild Summer Continues – Page vs. Moxley II is official for Dynamite with no one allowed ringside. Will Ospreay opens up about a real injury, and MJF is headed to Arena Mexico for a CMLL title challenge.
