Hulk Hogan Recovering After Serious Heart Surgery
According to sources close to Hulk Hogan, the former wrestling superstar had “pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago” but was doing well afterward, and his condition was never critical.
Concerns escalated when radio host Bubba the Love Sponge claimed Hogan was near death and that loved ones were being called in. However, Hogan’s representative told TMZ and other outlets that those claims were exaggerated, and the surgery was related to his existing health issues—not a life-threatening heart condition.
At 71, Hogan has faced significant wear and tear from his wrestling career, reportedly undergoing at least 25 surgeries between 2014 and 2024 (including back, neck, knee, hip, and shoulder procedures). Just last month, he reportedly underwent neck fusion surgery, after which he was already up and moving within 24 hours.
Despite the recent heart procedure, Hogan is now recovering steadily, according to multiple reports. He has begun receiving fans’ supportive messages and is said to be resting comfortably at home, preparing to resume activities tied to his upcoming wrestling league, Real American Freestyle.
Wrestling legends often battle more than just opponents—and Hulk Hogan’s recent heart surgery is a reminder of his personal health journey. While the operation was serious, reassuring updates from his team indicate he is on the mend. With fans rallying behind him and plans underway for his wrestling league, Hogan's resilience continues to define his legacy.
