Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who died at 71, received tributes from WWE, TNA, and NJPW. AEW, however, had previously banned Hogan due to past racist remarks. Despite this, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone delivered an on-air eulogy during AEW Collision, acknowledging Hogan's impact on professional wrestling and offering condolences to his family. Schiavone's comments sparked online discussion due to his earlier correction regarding his relationship with Hogan.
