AEW generates insane views with Hulk Hogan's tribute video

One of AEW's veteran broadcast personalities recently paid tribute to Hulk Hogan on television days after the latter's passing. A clip of the commentator's remarks about the departed legend has seemingly generated a staggering view count on social media.

On Thursday last week, it was reported that Hulk Hogan had passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest in Clearwater, Florida. Since then, reactions have been pouring in from the Hall of Famer's fans and peers, as well as talent who have been inspired by him. WWE honored The Hulkster with a 10-bell salute last Friday on SmackDown, not to mention the various graphics and video packages the company produced for that purpose.

AEW recently faced criticism from some fans for not paying tribute to Hogan after his passing. However, on AEW Collision this past weekend, veteran announcer Tony Schiavone addressed the former NWO leader's unexpected death, and briefly alluded to Hulk's contributions to pro wrestling, especially during his time in WCW. The "Ineffable" commentator concluded his message by offering condolences to Hogan's surviving family and friends.

All Elite Wrestling shared the clip of Schiavone's remarks on their X/Twitter profile. The video has since then raked in a massive number of views, currently sitting at 1.5 million.

Other All Elite names, including The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, and Sting, have also penned emotional social media posts to honor Hulk Hogan.
