Former Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush to work with WWE legend Hulk Hogan
Former Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush to work with WWE legend Hulk Hogan Former Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush has been named Chief of Staff of the Real American Freestyle organization. The promotion, led by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, former WCW executive Eric Bischoff and Israel Martinez, is a newly created pro wrestling league utilizing freestyle wrestling. In his new role, Wimbush will handle operations and various departments, among other duties, operating across all levels of the organization. Freestyle wrestling is certainly nothing like the scripted kind such as WWE or AEW. Free, along with Greco Roman, is one of the styles in the Summer Olympics. This newly formed league will give wrestlers another chance after college in the sport they love. The company has made waves on social media since its launch a month ago, signing eight wrestlers (including four Olympic medalists) and announcing its first event set for August 30 in Cleveland. "The amalgamation of entrepreneurship and athleticism really resonated with me when I first learned about the position," Wimbush said in a release. "I'm excited to join the likes of Hulk, Eric, Izzy, and Chad, as we work to establish the brand and help these incredible athletes in their careers." During the 2017 season as the starter, Wimbush threw for 1,870 yards with 16 touchdowns against six interceptions. He added 804 yards and 14 scores on the ground. In the team's bowl game against LSU, he was benched in the second quarter in favor of Ian Book, who led ND to a come-from-behind 21-17 victory. Wimbush started for the Irish in 2018 before Book took over in Week 4. He finished his college career at UCF in 2019.
