Pro wrestlers take a toll on their bodies for the sake of our entertainment. Their decision to put their bodies inside the ring comes with consequences. Hulk Hogan serves as an example of the same. Despite the number of surgeries that he has already had, one or the other problem still turns up, giving him another health scare.

However, the wrestling legend has found a way to deal with these parts of his life efficiently. His words imply that physical health also has a lot to do with the way you ‘perceive’ it. This way, Hogan expects to stay away from his 11th back surgery. He further gave some details that some of his fans might find disturbing.

Hulk Hogan’s ultimate way to stay physically healthy

The Hulkster once revealed that he had a total of around 26 surgeries performed on his body. These include both successful and failed surgeries. 10 of these were performed on his back alone. And now, Hogan fears that the 11th surgery might also be on its way. Muscle and Health Magazine were found recently ‘hanging out’ with Hulk Hogan. In the interview, the host sitting with him asked about his current condition after many surgeries, allowing the wrestler to open up.

According to the Hogan, he has injured the vertebrae above the hardware in his back. This hardware, as he explained, goes through his tailbone to the middle of his shoulder blades. “They say above the hardware, there’s a couple vertebraes that are bad. And that was my fault because I did some crazy stuff in Australia, after I had a back surgery, that I shouldn’t have done, with Ric Flair, our friend,” revealed Hogan.

If the ‘disc’ inside his back is not touching the spinal cord, he wouldn’t need the 11th surgery at all. The former wrestler is afraid of the surgery because “That’s a big surgery. That’s a 10-hour surgery.” So, Hogan has found a way to secure his health from any possible issue. “Right now, I’m praying for no surgery. So I don’t even speak it. You know, I’m in perfect health. You know, godspeed, perfect health, so I refuse to attract that into my life. What you speak about, you bring about,” said Hogan towards the end.

Despite what Hogan thinks can tackle his surgeries, stopping the side effects is not in his hands. So, he had to bear with the consequences and notice the changes that the numerous surgeries brought to his body.

Hulk Hogan claims to have shrunk because of the surgeries

While recently talking to Theo Von, Hogan revealed a number of things about himself. This included a confession that he made regarding his numerous surgeries. He talked about how, when his mother was alive, she used to measure his height. Before filming Rocky 3, the Hollywood star was ‘six foot seven’. However, a few years before his mother’s demise, she had measured him to be ‘six four and a half’.

According to the WWE Hall of Famer, his body shrunk as he aged up. To add to the problem, his surgeries also affected his height, shrinking him further. Even though Hogan likes to keep a positive attitude to not attract negative things in life, he can’t control these events either. Instead, the former wrestler just learned to live with whatever life gave him.
