This news comes just weeks after Hogan’s wife, Sky, denied swirling rumors that the WWE Hall of Famer was in critical condition or a coma.

She had reassured fans that his heart was “strong” as he recovered from recent surgeries, putting to rest earlier speculation about his health.

The rumors of Hogan’s struggle began after radio host Bubba the Love Sponge alleged that the wrestling icon was bedridden and battling difficulties with speaking, citing information from wrestling manager Jimmy Hart.

Hart, however, quickly refuted these claims, later posting on Facebook, “Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!”

Hogan rose to fame in the 1980s as a larger-than-life personality, helping to catapult the WWE into mainstream popularity.

With his unmatched charisma, signature moves, and enduring persona, he became a household name, inspiring fans around the world for decades.
