A representative for WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has officially addressed recent speculation about the wrestling icon’s health, assuring fans that the 71-year-old legend is “by no means on his deathbed.”
Concerns began swirling earlier this week after radio host Bubba the Love Sponge stated on-air that he’d been told Hogan was in such poor condition that family and friends were being called to say their goodbyes. While Bubba described his source as “rock solid,” he did admit the situation could have changed since he received the initial information.
However, TMZ Sports quickly reached out to Hogan’s team, who confirmed that the wrestling legend had been hospitalized, but only for recurring neck and back issues that have plagued him for years. The rep made it clear that Hogan’s situation was not life-threatening and that he is already “back to moving around” following treatment.
The brief hospitalization reportedly followed a successful neck surgery just one month ago, part of an ongoing effort to manage the lasting effects of Hogan’s decades-long in-ring career. Over the years, the former multi-time world champion has undergone numerous surgeries to address wear-and-tear injuries accumulated during his time in the ring.
Hogan’s health has long been a topic of concern among fans, but this latest update makes it clear that while he continues to deal with lingering physical ailments, there is no current emergency.
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief for now — the “Immortal” one is still fighting strong.
