WWE legend Hulk Hogan is not on his deathbed, despite recent rumors suggesting otherwise. While the 70-year-old wrestling icon has been hospitalized due to chronic neck and back problems, sources close to him confirm that his condition is not life-threatening.
According to TMZ Sports, Hogan was admitted earlier this week as part of ongoing treatment for long-standing spinal issues resulting from decades in the ring. While he’s reportedly in pain, insiders firmly deny claims that he is in critical condition or “on his last legs.”
The rumors gained traction after Florida radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge stated on-air that Hogan was in “bad shape” and that family members had allegedly been called in to say their goodbyes. However, even Bubba admitted that his information may have been outdated or exaggerated.
A representative for Hogan, who recently turned 71, has since dismissed the speculation, stating that while Hogan is dealing with familiar health struggles, he is mobile and in stable condition. The rep emphasized that there is no cause for alarm and that the WWE Hall of Famer is recovering well.
Hogan reportedly underwent successful neck surgery just last month as part of a broader effort to manage the wear and tear of his wrestling career. Despite numerous surgeries over the years, he continues to show remarkable resilience.
The latest update serves as a reassurance to fans who feared the worst. Hogan remains active and engaged with supporters, and for now, the Hulkster is still standing strong.
