Last month, a rumor was circulated by Bubba the Love Sponge claiming that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was hospitalized due to heart failure and was on his deathbed. However, this was quickly denied by both Eric Bischoff and Hogan's representative. In reality, Hogan had undergone cervical surgery and was experiencing an "adverse reaction," but he was ultimately fine.
Hogan's wife, Sky, took to her Instagram Stories to share a screenshot of her response to a fan who inquired if the WWE Hall of Famer was in a coma.
This is what Sky wrote, “No, he’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage… none of those rumors are true. He’s been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process. If you look it up, you’ll see what the last six weeks have involved… not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery. We’ve been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery. So truly, there’s no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He’s healing, and we’re taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.”
Updates on Hogan will be shared as they become available. He and Bischoff are preparing to launch their new promotion, Real American Freestyle Wrestling, with the inaugural event scheduled for Saturday, August 30th, at the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio.
