There have been several superstars throughout the history of professional wrestling, but none have made a greater impact than Hulk Hogan. But unfortunately, it appears that the legendary professional wrestler and entertainer has had some unfortunate health issues lately that have left him in pretty bad shape.
During a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Podcast, fellow professional wrestling legend Kurt Angle revealed that Hulk Hogan “can’t feel his lower body” after having nerves cut from his lower body.
“[He] had the nerves cut from his lower body. He can’t feel his lower body,” Angle said on the podcast, according to Fox News. “He used his cane to walk around. I thought he was using the cane because he had pain in his back. He doesn’t have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can’t feel anything.”
According to Angle, this has severely impacted Hogan’s mobility, as the superstar wrestler has to use a cane to walk around
“So now he can’t feel his legs. So he has to walk with a cane which is, you know, that’s pretty serious, man. I really feel for Hogan. He put his heart and soul into the business and it ate him up.”
It’s a horrible update, and the sports world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.

Despite his real-life flaws, I'm a defender of Hulk Hogan as a performer. A lesser wrestler would've gone through the door instead of climbing over the top right next to it, as the match and the camera setup dictated. Wrestlefest 1988 vs Andre with Bobby Heenan. pic.twitter.com/kVTZTaACEE
