The History Of Hulk Hogan Disease, Experiences A Drastic Health Reduction To Undergoing Surgery

JAKARTA – World wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at the age of 71 from cardiac arrest in a hospital in Florida, USA on Thursday, July 24, 2025. The man whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea died, after a few days his wife denied rumors Hogan was in a coma.

Although known as the strong icon of WWE with a large and full of energy posture, Hogan has actually experienced a drastic decline in physical condition in recent years. He had lost his sense at the bottom of his body and had to walk with a stick.

Over the years, Hogan has experienced severe neck and back pain, as a result of decades of professional wrestling careers with extreme training and hard collisions in the ring. He also had to undergo various medical procedures to reduce pain and improve his body condition.

In early 2023, his colleague and best friend, Kurt Angle, revealed that Hogan lost all sense in his lower body due to surgery.

“He lost taste from the bottom of the body. So now he has to use a stick to walk,” Angle said in The Kurt Angle Show, quoted from The Sun’s page.

“I think he felt pain on his back. But it turned out he didn’t feel anything. There was no pain, but also no feeling at all,” he continued.

However, the news was denied by representatives of Hogan who stated that the legend did not experience paralysis as mentioned.

“Hogan’s situation is fine. He’s a person who has a high sense of humor,” Hogan’s spokesman told Entertainment Tonight.

In June 2025, just a month before his death, Hogan was rushed back to the hospital and underwent a major operation called Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). This operation is aimed at dealing with pinched nerves in the neck by lifting a damaged bone disk and then uniting the spine to stabilize it.

The wife, Sky Daily, explained that the postoperative recovery process is very heavy and involves many aspects of the body, including the sound band and respiratory system.

“He is recovering after a major four-level ACDF procedure. This is a very complex type of operation and it takes a long and gradual healing time,” Sky wrote via Instagram Story.

If you look for the operation, you will know how heavy the last six weeks are, not only for the spine, but also for sound bands, eating utensils, and breathing devices installed during surgery. ” he continued.

Sky also denied rumors that Hogan was in a coma towards the end of his life.

“No, he’s not in a coma! He’s strong, and there’s no shortage of oxygen or brain damage. All the rumors are not true,” he said.

Despite experiencing a decline in health, Hogan continued to appear in public, and even sang karaoke with his son two days before he died. His manager, Jimmy Hart, had time to convince fans that Hogan was in good condition.

Hulk is in an extraordinary condition! Karaoke last night with Nick was very fun! ” wrote Hart on social media.

But fate said otherwise. Two days after the cheerful moment, on July 25, 2025, Hogan had a heart attack at his residence in Clearwater Beach, Florida. He was handled by a medical team from Clearwater Fire & Rescue before finally being declared dead at the Morton Plant hospital.

WWE mourns the death of the Hall of Fame, Hulk Hogan. As one of the most known figures in pop culture, Hogan helped WWE achieve global fame in the 1980s. We extend deep sorrow to family, friends, and fans,” WWE said in a statement.

Meanwhile, fellow wrestlers also paid their last respects.

Hulk was always there for me, even when I didn’t ask him. He came to see me when I only had 2% chance of life. He also lent money when my son was sick. Nothing like him.” recalled Ric Flair full of emotion.

Hulk Hogan left a big legacy in the world of professional wrestling. Despite his end in the struggle against pain, he remains a hero in the eyes of millions of fans around the world.
