Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, known for his iconic red and gold outfits and his time as Hollywood Hogan, is a familiar face for many. He earned acclaim as the most famous wrestler in the 1980s. However, even the greatest wrestlers face challenges once their glory days are over. 

In a recent chat with podcast host Chris Van Vliet, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer shed light on the difficulties wrestlers encounter after leaving the squared circle.

Hogan’s candid words on the challenges of life after the ring

Hogan spoke candidly about how the world of WWE and professional wrestling can sometimes push individuals toward self-destructive behaviors. He admitted that the adrenaline rush and reactions they invoke during wrestling matches can become highly addictive. This makes it hard for wrestlers to transition to a normal life once they step out of the ring.

Hogan also revealed how he’s found his own way to cope with the post-wrestling turbulence. He maintains a personal gym in his house, which he uses to channel his energy and maintain his focus. He said, “Yeah, there that’s why I got a gym in my house because that turbulence sometimes will build up about 10:30 to 11:00 to where I feel like I could go out and be an Axe Murderer. And I go down and I just train myself so hard I’m… I wear myself out you know it’s just weird how you get inundated with that business. Yeah, so you got to find ways to work… work around it.”

Hogan’s insights highlight the challenges that many wrestlers face when they step away from the ring. The addiction to the thrill and the invigorating lifestyle can be a difficult “fix” to overcome. Nevertheless, he didn’t give up, and one recent ‘fix’ for this was exchanging vows for the third time with his fiancée!

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, also known as Terry Gene Bollea, exchanged vows with his fiancée, Sky Daily, in a private ceremony in Florida, according to TMZ. Hogan, who is 70 years old, and Sky Daily, a 45-year-old yoga instructor and accountant, got engaged in July. The wedding was an intimate affair attended only by close family and friends, although his daughter, Brooke, was notably absent.
