That is serious. While wrestling storylines are pre-determined, the action that you see between the bells is very real. It takes special athleticism and incredible talent to make everything work safely, but there will always be physical issues brought on as a result. This can lead to some serious issues for wrestlers and that is the case again with one of the biggest names of all time.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Got It: WWE Went To Extreme Lengths For Royal Rumble Surprise
Last week’s edition of Monday Night Raw was the Raw XXX special, celebrating thirty years of the show. The show featured a variety of legends from throughout the last thirty years, meaning several legends were present for the show. During a recent edition of the Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle mentioned speaking to Hulk Hogan at the event. Angle revealed that Hogan has undergone another back surgery, which involved nerves being cut from the lower half of his body. As a result, Hogan has no feeling in his legs but is s..

There’s a game changer. It takes a special kind of star to rise to the top of WWE. Getting there is not easy and it often means making moves that hurt some people in the process. This might not be the nicest thing in the world, but it is the kind of thing that happens with almost every top star. Now a former WWE name is telling a story about one of the biggest stars WWE has ever seen.
During the latest episode of his podcast, former WWE star Mario Mancini told a story about then booker George Scott wanting Randy Savage to win the then WWF Title from Hulk Hogan in 1985. According to Mancini, Hogan did not take kindly to the idea and had Vince McMahon fire Scott as a result. Mancini also said that his career would have been very different had Scott remained as booker, though he did not explain why. Savage would go on to win the title three years later at WrestleMania IV.
Opinion: I’m never sure what to think about situations like this, as while it does make Hogan look like he was out f..

That would be a way to go. One of the bigger wrestling stories over the last few weeks has been Ric Flair announcing his return to the ring. This has led to some questions, as the match is expected to be a six man tag, with Flair and FTR teaming with the Rock N Roll Express with a third person to be named. Now we might know who it might be and it could be amazing.
During an appearance on Wrestling Shoot Interviews, former WWE star B. Brian Blair says that he is looking forward to seeing Flair facing Hulk Hogan, suggesting that Hogan will be the sixth man in the match. When directly asked if he knew for sure that Hogan will be the partner, Blair said that he did not know it to be true. Blair is a friend of Hogan’s and was Hogan’s first ever opponent.
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that I could see happening, but at the same time I do not want it to happen. How much of a mess could it be for Hogan to be in the ring with Flair? At the end of the day, this is supposed to be about Fla..

It didn’t go over well. There have been a lot of wrestlers over the years but there are very few who have reached the levels of Hulk Hogan. Over a rather lengthy career, Hogan became one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling and changed the way the industry worked for years to come. Since his retirement, things have not gone so well for him though, and that was the case again this week.
Over the weekend, Hogan suggested that the deaths of celebrities who have recently passed away, including Betty White, Bob Saget and Sidney Poitier, were all due to them having received the Coronavirus vaccine. Hogan’s comments were mentioned on the Tonight Show, with host Jimmy Fallon saying that the jokes made him the Heavyweight Champion of Facebook. Hogan has not yet responded to the joke.
Wrestling has been a part of talk shows before. Check out the joke (with Hogan’s section beginning at 3:00) and some other wrestling talk show interactions:

He’s a big one. There are legends in the wrestling world and then there is Hulk Hogan. While the last few years have not seen him painted in the best light due to some rather bad decisions, Hogan is still one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling and the reason a lot of fans watch today. He still draws some interest today and now it seems that things are not going so well for him.
During the debut episode of his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, Ric Flair revealed that Hulk Hogan is undergoing some serious health issues. While Flair did not elaborate on what was wrong, he did talk about how the two support each other, including Hogan visiting Flair while he was in a coma in 2017. There is no word on what is wrong with Hogan, though he has had several back surgeries over there years.
Flair and Hogan have a longstanding history. Check out what the two have done over the years:

Oh Brother. Like him or not, there are almost no wrestlers in history on Hulk Hogan’s level (and there is a serious case to be made that there is no one on that level). He modernized the wrestling world and turned the WWF into a global phenomenon, only to go to WCW and become one of the greatest heels of all time. That gives him the kind of legendary status that almost no one has approached and it gives him certain respect in wrestling. We almost saw that again this year.
While you may not realize it, we are coming up on forty years since Hulk Hogan first won the WWF World Title. That was quite a long time ago and while it might seem like yesterday that Hulkamania was the strongest force in the universe just a few days ago, Hogan is now in his late 60s and has not wrestled a match in nearly ten years. However, that streak was nearly broken on the big stage.
According to Wrestlingnews.co, Vince McMahon had signed off on the idea of Hogan entering and winning the Andre the Giant Memori..

A take you don’t often hear. I know some people might not be all that fond of him, but there are few stars in the history of wrestling on the same level as Hulk Hogan. He revolutionized wrestling back in the 1980s and his impact is still being felt today. Hogan will still popup in WWE every now and then and that is what he has done again, albeit in a very different way.
One of the things that you don’t often get in wrestling is the perspective from the wrestlers themselves. As strange as it may seem, they have the most unique perspective of anyone watching their matches because they are the only ones who know what it is like to actually get in the ring. That isn’t something everyone else can say and it is interesting to hear what they thought about any given match. That is the case again now.

Title for Title, Icon vs. Icon. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel, in which they show the full match between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior from WrestleMania VI (6). In this match, both the Intercontinental and WWF Championships were on the line.
You can see the match in its entirety below:

From our own Thomas Hall:
They lock up to start and both guys are shoved into the corner. We get the iconic test of strength with Hogan going down first, only to fight back up and take Warrior down. They trade slams but it’s Warrior getting the better of it and clotheslining Hogan to the floor. Hulk comes up holding his knee and says he’s blown it out. He gets back in and Warrior kicks away at the knee but Hulk stops selling it about ten seconds later and it’s never mentioned again.
Hulk comes back with right hands and a clothesline in the corner as the fans are losing their minds over every single move. Off to a front facelock on Warrior (Jesse: “Ask Richard Belzer!” Belze..
