WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart spoke to People about various topics, including his last conversation with the late, great WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan.
Hart said, “I called [Hogan] on Wednesday night, and then Thursday morning is when everything took place. So just…just overnight it all happened, but it was so positive the day before.”
On the last time he saw Hogan in person: “He was great. He had great food to eat that night. He was talking with the fans. He was just phenomenal.”
On Hogan’s health deteriorating quickly: “It just hits so fast. It was like, ‘Oh my God.’ We thought he was doing so well, you know? We didn’t go to see him at the house and didn’t go to see him at the hospital, because we wanted to make sure that he didn’t get any infections or anything else, like if anybody had a cold or brought anything in. So, that’s what we all did.”
“When he went in the hospital, he was feeling numbness in his fingers…”
On Hogan’s various surgeries over the years: “He loved wrestling. He loved it. And he missed being able to do it because his body had been broken up so badly through the years. He had a shoulder replaced. His hip was replaced. He had two knee replacements, just so much stuff. And that’s why, when he went in the hospital, he was feeling numbness in his fingers, and that’s why he went to get that little neck surgery to help him out.”
