WWE legend’s condition sparks confusion as conflicting reports emerge on his hospitalization and prognosis
June 19, 2025, 12:57 Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has reportedly been hospitalized this week, leading to widespread speculation about the severity of his condition. A longtime radio personality and former friend, Bubba the Love Sponge, ignited concern during his podcast on Wednesday, claiming that Hogan “might not make it.”
“It’s not good,” Bubba stated ominously. “I got some pretty reliable information last night that there are phone calls being made to various family members about getting to town to say their goodbyes.”
Although the two have had a publicly strained relationship, Bubba insisted his sources were credible, even suggesting that Hogan may be seeking to reconcile with people from his past, including himself, if this is indeed a critical moment.
🔍 Conflicting Reports: Serious or Routine?
Despite the dramatic claims, other media outlets offered a different narrative. According to Us Weekly, Hogan recently underwent serious heart surgery and is in recovery mode. Meanwhile, TMZ reported that the 71-year-old Hall of Famer is in hospital for minor back and neck-related issues, dismissing the “deathbed” rumors.

TMZ further noted Hogan underwent neck surgery last month, adding that he has endured “countless procedures” over the years to mend his body after decades of high-impact wrestling.
📉 Complicated Past With Bubba The Love Sponge
Hogan and Bubba were once close friends, but that changed after the infamous 2012 sex tape scandal, where Hogan accused Bubba of filming and leaking private footage without consent. The scandal led to years of litigation and personal fallout, making the current claims from Bubba a source of controversy.
Nevertheless, the severity of Hogan’s situation remains unclear, with social media flooded with concern and speculation following Bubba’s podcast.
🗣️ Fans Await Official Word
While Hogan’s reps deny that his condition is life-threatening, the lack of clear public statements has only fueled speculation. The wrestling world and fans worldwide remain on edge, hoping for positive confirmation about the legend’s health status.
