Hulk Hogan denies false claims of being paralyzed after surgery

Hulk Hogan was seen walking with a cane after denying rumours that he was paralysed following back surgery.

As he exited the DMV in Clearwater, Florida, on Friday, the 69-year-old WWE icon was holding the stick in his right hand.

He walked from the DMV to his car with the aid of the stick. He did, however, momentarily pause to wave to a fan and move it to his left hand, barely managing to hold it.

Nick Hogan, the son of the Hulk, was spotted going on an errand with his father and was observed carrying a licence plate and other DMV documentation.

The father and son pair exchanged hugs before getting into a pickup and heading off together.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, wore a black graphic T-shirt, dark blue trousers, black sneakers, black sunglasses, and, of course, his trademark bandana to go about his business.

Since his representative assured Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday that "everything is OK with him" following his operation, Hogan has not been photographed until his trip.

After fellow WWE professional Kurt Angle alleged that Hogan couldn't feel below his waist, the correction quickly followed.
