The misinformation began spreading after Bubba the Love Sponge claimed on air that Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, was in poor health and might not survive. This rumor quickly escalated, causing concern among Hogan’s friends and family.

Bubba insisted his source was reliable, but this was untrue.

According to TMZ Sports, a representative for Hogan clarified that the 71-year-old is not near death but is continuing to manage long-term health issues. “Hogan’s already moving around,” the report stated.

In discussions a year prior, Hogan revealed the extent of his medical history, mentioning 25 surgeries over a decade, including ten on his back, and replacements for both knees and hips, along with shoulder surgeries.

This news comes a few months after Hogan’s daughter Brooke openly discussed family strains online.

“My lack of contact with my Mom isn’t about my Dad, and vice versa,” Brooke stated on Instagram on March 27. “Despite my efforts for a fresh start, I faced repeated disrespect. I long for a normal family, but it hasn’t happened.”

She added, “The pain from their actions outweighed their absence.”

The former wrestler has not yet responded to these claims.
