Kurt Angle, a friend and fellow wrestler, claims that Hulk Hogan can no longer “feel his legs.”
Angle, a former Olympic champion and retired WWE star, said on his podcast that Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, recently informed him he had undergone yet another back surgery and had lost “all feeling” from the waist down.
Angle claimed that Hogan said the things last week behind closed doors at the 30th anniversary of WWE’s Monday Night Raw television program.
Angle reportedly stated that Hogan claimed he had his nerves cut during surgery and is no longer able to feel his lower body, according to Metro UK.
The 1996 Olympic gold medalist told that Hogan now has a cane to get 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,” Angle said.
Hogan has in the past blamed his signature maneuver as the cause of his health issues.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 2019, he said that the reason his back was in such horrible condition was because he had to drop the leg “over 300 times a year.”
