Hogan is reportedly doing well and is already moving around. These updates follow rumors of a severe health scare that spread online earlier in the day. Concerns about the 71-year-old’s condition started after YouTuber and radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge made alarming claims on a livestream. He said that Hogan was seriously ill and close family members were being contacted to say their goodbyes, leading to widespread speculation.
This is not the first time Hogan’s health has come into question in recent months. In May, his rep confirmed to TMZ that he was preparing for a “little fusion procedure.” Hogan himself has spoken openly about the toll wrestling has taken on his body.
In a September 2024 appearance on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, he revealed, “I’ve had like 25 surgeries in the last ten years. 10 of them were back surgeries. I’ve had 10 back surgeries, both knees and both hips replaced, shoulders—everything.”
Hogan remains one of the most well-known figures in professional wrestling. Rising to fame in the 1980s, he became a household name as he faced off against titans like Andre the Giant and The Ultimate Warrior. Outside the ring, Hogan has also made a name for himself in the entertainment world.
