Hulk Hogan Back Surgery Update

Hulk Hogan underwent the knife.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan underwent another back surgery this week and posted a photo on social media of the “hardware” that was removed from his body.

Hogan has reached the highest of heights in the world of professional wrestling. He’s the most famous wrestler of all time, but that success came with a price. The 62-year-old legend has sustained countless injuries and had undergone more than a half dozen back surgeries as a result of all the wear and tear.

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Hogan revealed that he’d be undergoing his latest back surgery this week. Hogan said, “They’re going to fuse six levels together, so we’ll see how I feel after that.”

Hogan posted this photo of the metal screws and rods that were removed:

As of this writing, there’s no word yet on the recovery time from the surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery. 

Hogan has previously pushed for one more match as he wants to end his in-ring career with WWE. In fact, he has gone on record by stating that he wants to have his last match against WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. 

This proposed match would see him take on the WWE boss at WrestleMania 36, which is slated to be held near where he lives.
