Legendary professional wrestler Hulk Hogan underwent neck surgery after a ragged appearance on Fox News sparked concerns for the 71-year-old’s well being. He told TMZ on Thursday that his recovery from the Wednesday “little fusion procedure” was swift and that he had already returned to work by Thursday. The news came just days after the Donald Trump-supporting wrestler sparked a chorus of concern online by appearing haggard during a Fox News appearance. Fans said he looked “old” after an interview on Fox & Friends, in which his undyed beard and tired-looking eyes jumped out to viewers. The WWE Hall of Famer took numerous beatings in the ring throughout his long career, so it’s no surprise that he needed 25 operations from 2014 to 2024 alone. He’s had ten back surgeries and had his knees, both hips, and shoulders replaced. He’s bounced back from all of them, however, and is preparing for the kickoff of his new wrestling league, American Freestyle, which aims to bring freestyle wrestling to a wider audience. A number of superstar champion wrestlers have already joined the show, including David Carr, Kyle Dake, Trend Hidlay, Kyle Snyder, and Aaron Brooks.
