Hulk Hogan’s Rep Addresses Rumors He’s on His Deathbed

by

Hulk Hogan is still standing.

Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer, who is more commonly known as Hulk Hogan (whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea), was admitted to the hospital due to persistent neck and back problems. However, contrary to some rumors, a representative for Hulk assured TopMob News on June 18 that there’s no need to worry.

Over time, it’s been consistently stated that the star of Hogan Knows Best has faced numerous back issues. Notably, he had a neck operation, which fortunately has proven to be effective.

Speculation about the elderly individual’s well-being began to circulate earlier today following comments made by YouTuber Bubba The Love Sponge during a broadcast. He suggested that the wrestler was admitted to the hospital and might not recover.

His rep had previously told TMZ in May that Hulk simply needed a “little fusion procedure.”

Hulk, who got married to Sky Daily in the year 2023 and was previously wedded to Jennifer McDaniel and Linda Hogan, has become accustomed to undergoing multiple surgical procedures. Previously, he mentioned that he’s had approximately 25 operations performed on him.

In a conversation with Jake Paul on the IMPAULSIVE podcast in September 2024, he shared that over the past ten years, he’s undergone approximately 25 surgical procedures. Out of these, about 10 surgeries were related to his back. Additionally, he mentioned that both his knees and hips have been replaced, along with his shoulders – essentially every major joint in his body.

The recent news about the athlete being admitted to the hospital surfaced barely three months after his daughter, Brooke Hogan (who he has alongside Linda and son Nick Hogan, aged 34), publicly discussed the family’s strained relationships.

News about the 71-year-old’s recent hospital stay has emerged, less than three months after his daughter, Brooke Hogan (age 37), who is one of his children with Linda, publicly addressed the family’s strained relationships. Alongside her, their son Nick Hogan (aged 34) is also part of this family.

My lack of contact with my Mom and Dad is not connected to each other; one issue doesn’t affect the other,” she stated in her March 27 Instagram post. “I yearned to find goodness in them, to shield, aid, and rebuild relationships – only to be disrespected repeatedly. I dreamed of a typical family, but my hopes were never realized.

She added, “Their behavior became more painful than their absence.”

37-year-old stated on their March 27 Instagram post that their lack of contact with both their mother and father is unrelated; neither’s absence is due to the other. They deeply desired to find positivity in them, offer support, and start anew, but were repeatedly disrespected. They yearned for a typical family life, yet it remained elusive.

She added, “Their behavior became more painful than their absence.”

Hulk has yet to speak out about the family rift.

Just like Hulk, many other stars have openly discussed their health struggles. To learn more about other celebrities facing similar challenges, keep reading.

In April 2025, a former cast member of “Beverly Hills, 90210” shared that he was on the road to recovery following an appendix operation, as it had come close to rupturing.

Last week, I began experiencing some abdominal discomfort,” Brian explained in his Instagram post. “Consequently, I visited the ER and was diagnosed with an almost-burst appendix. It wasn’t completely ruptured yet.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

11-year-old Adam Devine was struck by a cement truck, an incident which left lasting impacts on his health till the present moment.

In a 2025 episode of the “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast, Devine expressed that it had been an extremely difficult and distressing experience for him. He explained that he has been experiencing spasms throughout his body. Moreover, he shared that doctors had warned him earlier this year that his condition was critical, and he might not survive.

He observed that pain is intermittent, expressing it as, “There seem to be several irregularities and minor issues with my body.

Previously on Bachelor Nation, this former contestant revealed he sought medical attention after enduring excruciating back pain, which worsened during a camping trip in an RV with a buddy, causing him to crawl on all fours to get help.

In the March 2025 episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast, he remarked, “Right now, from my knees to my toes, it’s unusually tingly, which is quite unexpected.” To provide context, let me say, without trying to sound arrogant, but around two or three weeks ago, perhaps a month ago, I was squatting approximately 295 pounds. As of now, I can’t even do a squat on one leg; if I try, I’ll fall. It feels like I’ve had a stroke or something.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

In a game held in December 2024, an AHL player sustained a deep wound from another player’s skate. The injury required 25 stitches to close. Following his son’s full recovery, New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald expressed his gratitude to ESPN, stating, “We consider ourselves fortunate. I wouldn’t wish such an incident on any parent.

In March 2025, Gina Kirschenheiter from “Real Housewives of Orange County” revealed that her former spouse, Matt Kirschenheiter, had experienced a heart attack. Fortunately, he made it through this challenging situation.

30 Rock’s lead actor had a health emergency during a New York Knicks game in March 2025, prompting his removal from Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

On the next day, the entertainer posted an update on his social media platforms, stating it was a case of food poisoning and he was recovering well.

Back in February 2025, the former star of Even Stevens disclosed that she had been accidentally shot in the face during a trip to fire clay pigeons as part of her husband Brendan Rooney’s birthday celebration.

In a post on Instagram, she said that there was another group present who accidentally fired their weapon in the wrong direction, striking her in the face. Immediately, @thebrendanrooney took action, evaluated my condition, and quickly transported me to the hospital. I was hit in five spots, with one being just a mere inch away from hitting me directly in my right eye.

The former star of “Kim Possible” added, “Regrettably, a piece became stuck at the back of my eye and it’s not safe to have surgery to extract it right now. My doctors are keeping a close watch on me, but I can see fine for now.

She expressed her gratitude for still being alive, saying, “I have such a deep affection for my daughters, husband, family, and friends.” She continued, “I caught a glimpse of my life’s memories passing before me, and let me tell you, cherish the people close to you whenever you can. Life has a way of altering unexpectedly in the blink of an eye.

Despite the occasional harshness on the internet, Amy Schumer is grateful for its role in helping her seek medical answers during a confusing time. In an episode of Call Her Daddy from January 2025, she remembered the reactions to her appearance: “After doing a lot of press, I told everyone to calm down, but then doctors started commenting and said my face looked strange, which made me think, ‘I’m being trolled by medical professionals?'”

Upon learning that these doctors suspected she had Cushing syndrome due to elevated cortisol levels or steroid injections, Amy realized she had been receiving such injections to treat her scars. “I’d had a breast reduction, a C-section, and other surgeries, so I was getting these steroid injections,” she explained. “They eventually caused me to develop Cushing syndrome, something I wouldn’t have known about if the internet hadn’t been so critical.”

Now, Amy is grateful for this experience and shared in her February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter that finding out she had a form of Cushing syndrome that would naturally resolve itself was “the best possible news I could have imagined.

Hailey Bieber experienced a terrifying incident in March 2022 during breakfast with husband Justin Bieber, when she suddenly exhibited stroke-like symptoms. Recalling the event on YouTube a month later, Hailey explained that she couldn’t respond to her husband’s questions and struggled to speak or move the right side of her face. After going to the hospital, scans revealed a small blood clot in her brain, categorized as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Further tests at UCLA discovered that she had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), through which the blood clot escaped and traveled to her brain. Hailey underwent a successful PFO closure procedure, and is now feeling well.

In the same year as Hailey’s health emergency, Justin also faced a similar challenge of his own. Specifically, in June 2022, the “Baby” singer announced he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which led to temporary facial paralysis and required him to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour. He explained on Instagram that this condition affected the nerve in his ear and his facial nerves, causing various parts of his face, such as his eye, smile, nostril, and even blinking, to stop functioning. He mentioned it became increasingly difficult for him to eat, but fortunately, the paralysis subsided over time. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin is now doing well and recovering nicely, expressing gratitude that he’s fine.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share my take on Jamie Foxx’s health journey:

In the spring of 2023, just like any other day in Atlanta, I found myself grappling with an excruciating headache. I asked a friend for an aspirin, but before I could even get it, I blacked out. When I regained consciousness, I realized that I had lost twenty days of my life.

In the initial stages, a doctor gave me a cortisone shot and sent me home. However, my sister Deidra Dixon, sensing something was amiss, took me to another hospital where they discovered the source of my trouble – a brain bleed leading to a stroke.

Twenty days later, I woke up on May 4 in a wheelchair, unable to walk. I then moved to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. All I can say is that every prayer offered during those challenging times was essential for my recovery.

In 2019, Emilia Clarke, who played significant battle roles in Game of Thrones, penned an essay titled “A Battle for My Life” for The New Yorker. Describing her ordeal at the gym, she wrote about being struck with a severe headache that led to vomiting profusely. As the pain intensified, she realized her brain was injured.

Rushed to the hospital for a scan, she was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding in the space surrounding the brain. She had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture. The pain during surgery to seal the aneurysm was unbearable, and she struggled with aphasia, speaking nonsensical words.

Recovering from the initial surgery, her speech improved after a week, and she was discharged from the hospital a month later. However, in 2013, a growth on her brain was found to have doubled in size, requiring another operation. She woke up from the procedure in pain as it had failed, and doctors warned that her chances of survival were slim if they didn’t operate again. This time, they needed to access her brain through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia reported that she is now completely recovered.

Cori Broadus, the daughter of famous rapper Snoop Dogg, expresses her gratitude towards her family.

After she experienced a “serious stroke” in January 2024, her loved ones promptly came to support her.

In an interview with TopMob News‘ correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024, she shared, “I informed them about my stroke via text and sent a picture. Everyone rushed to help me.”

Due to additional health issues, Cori’s hospital stay lasted longer than anticipated.

“Initially, I could have gone home after the stroke,” the star of Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story explained. “However, my lupus wasn’t doing well, and my kidneys were failing. There was a lot happening.”

Today, Cori is making progress.

“I’m doing well,” she stated. “I just needed to regain some motor skills. Other than that, I was alright.

In the early part of her twenties, Shailene Woodley’s health took a challenging turn. Her struggles included losing hearing, experiencing fatigue after short walks, and stomach issues with virtually every food she ate. She was diagnosed with a complex set of health problems by various doctors but found no consistent answers or relief.

To find solutions, Shailene, who had a background in holistic medicine and herbalism, sought help from both traditional medical professionals and independent healers. This quest for wellness took a decade, during which she also grappled with physical discomfort that led to fears about food and body image issues such as body dysmorphia and identity confusion.

After focusing on both her physical and mental health, Shailene now feels much better. She shared that this long journey ultimately led to a resolution of her physical symptoms, and she is proud to declare her good health today.
