Hulk Hogan 'doing well and is not paralyzed' after back surgery, says rep

According to a representative for the former wrestler, Hulk Hogan's latest back operation did not leave him crippled.

Hogan, 69, was the subject of discussion on Sunday's broadcast of The Kurt Angle Show. According to the presenter, Hogan shared some important information regarding his health during the production of the WWE Monday Night Raw 30th anniversary special, which aired on January 23.

"Hogan had his back surgery again. He had the nerves cut from his lower body," Angle said on his podcast.

"He can't feel his lower body. He has to use his cane to walk around. I thought he was using the cane because he has pain in his back. He doesn't have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can't feel anything. Now he can't feel his legs, so he has to walk with a cane, which is pretty serious."

The former WWE star is able to walk without a cane, is "doing well, and is not paralysed," according to a spokesperson for Hogan, who appeared on the opening segment of the wrestling company's tribute episode without any apparent impairments. However, the Olympic gold medalist expressed concern about Hogan.

"Everything is OK with him," they added. "Hulk is someone with a lot of humor."
