00:00Hulk Hogan, 71, undergoes surgery after sparking major health concerns.
00:07The former WWE superstar has had at least 25 operations in the last decade, on the mend.
00:13Hulk Hogan underwent neck surgery earlier this week.
00:18The former WWE wrestler, 71, had a little fusion procedure done in the hopes of feeling a little better, a rep for Hogan told TMZ Sports.
00:28Hogan's camp assured that it was a quick turnaround for the retired athlete, and he's already back on his feet.
00:35Earlier this month, Hogan appeared on an episode of Fox and Friends where he sparked health concerns over his appearance.
00:41What in the fresh hell is going on with his face? One user wrote via X at the time.
00:47He looks unwell, added another. He looks like death, a third user chimed in while a fourth echoed, who am I looking at?
00:54Hogan's rise to fame dates back to the late 70s.
00:59To date, he's been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, and he's a six-time WWWF-WWWE champion.
01:08Of course, after being in the ring for so many years, he's no stranger to surgery.
01:12I've had about 25 surgeries in the last decade. Knee and hip replacements, shoulder and back surgeries, operations on my eyes and abdominals.
01:22Apparently, wrestling is all fake, but I sure didn't get that memo.
01:25Hogan penned for Men's Health in May 2023.
01:31Along with all of the injuries and treatment came the pain, the inflammation, and the prescription drugs.
01:37I just got so sick of the brain fog, the trouble sleeping, feeling tired all the time, and not being myself,
01:44that about a year ago I decided to stop taking all of the pain meds I was on, he added.
01:50Hogan also changed some of his lifestyle habits to improve his health.
01:54When I reduced my use of alcohol and replaced it with CBD products, that kicked everything into high gear, he wrote.
02:03Once the inflammation and pain subsided, I didn't need to wash down the pain pills with alcohol.
