Hulk Hogan Deathbed Rumours Shut Down by Rep: WWE Icon Recovering from Surgery, Not Fighting for Life

Rumours that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is on his deathbed have been firmly denied by his representatives, who confirmed that the WWE Hall of Famer is recovering well from a routine hospital visit. The 70-year-old is “up and moving around,” and his team has called the reports “hugely exaggerated” and “completely false.”

The speculation took off after Florida radio host Bubba the Love Sponge claimed on air that Hogan was in “really bad shape” and that family had been called in to say their goodbyes. The comment quickly ignited a wave of panic online, fuelled by decades of Hogan’s well-documented health struggles.

But it’s worth noting that Bubba and Hogan share a turbulent history. In 2012, the two were embroiled in a high-profile legal dispute after Bubba secretly recorded and leaked a sex tape featuring Hogan. The case was settled, with Bubba agreeing not to publicly speak about or disparage Hogan – a detail casting doubt on the reliability of his latest claims.

Hogan is currently hospitalised for routine treatment relating to chronic back and neck issues. He recently underwent a minor spinal procedure to relieve pressure on nerves—just one of more than 25 surgeries he’s had in the last decade. On Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Hogan revealed he’s had everything from knee and hip replacements to multiple back operations: “Shoulders, back, knees – you name it, I’ve had it replaced.”

Despite these health challenges, Hogan remains a towering figure in American pop culture. From headlining WrestleMania to starring in Hogan Knows Best and Rocky III, he helped transform professional wrestling into global spectacle. In 2024, he re-entered headlines for endorsing Donald Trump and delivering a speech at a campaign rally in Madison Square Garden.

No, Hulkamania isn’t fading – it’s just healing.
