Rumors that Hulk Hogan is on his deathbed have been swirling after WWE legend Hulk Hogan was reportedly hospitalized following heart surgery. But his rep says this is not a life-threatening situation. The panic began after Florida radio host Bubba the Love Sponge claimed it was time to say goodbye to the 71-year-old. “If you did some sniffing around, you might find him in a hospital near you,” he told listeners on June 18. “And it’s not good. “I got some pretty reliable information last night that there are phone calls being made to various family members about getting to town to come say your goodbyes.” Following the report, a rep with Hulk Hogan spoke with TMZ Sports and confirmed that the icon had been hospitalized this week. However, he is only dealing with persistent neck and back issues. The rep also added that Hulk was already up and moving around after his heart surgery. According to US Weekly, a source said that “Hulk had pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago and was doing well afterward” before adding that “It wasn’t a near-death thing.” In May, TMZ Sports reported that Hulk Hogan had a minor neck surgery. The wrestler has dealt with back and neck pain for years. In 2024, he shared that he’d had at least 25 surgeries in the past 10 years. The procedures addressed issues with his back, knees, hips, shoulders, and more. This story’s featured image is by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images.
