WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan ‘can’t feel his legs’ following back surgery

Hulk Hogan is said to have had surgery that led to him losing feeling in his lower body. 

Kurt Angle commented on Hogan’s condition during an episode of the Kurt Angle Show released Friday. Angle says he spoke with Hogan “for about a half-hour” about their health and injuries backstage at Raw 30. He said Hogan recently “had the nerves cut from his lower body” leading to mobility issues. 

Angle said:

Hogan had back surgery again. He had the nerves cut from his lower body, he can’t feel his lower body. So, he has to use his cane to walk around. I thought he was using the cane because he has pain in his back. He doesn’t have any pain, he has nothing at all. He can’t feel anything. So, now he can’t feel his legs so he has to walk with a cane which is, you know, that’s pretty serious. I mean, I really feel for Hogan. He put his heart and soul into the business and it ate him up. 

Angle also spoke about Hogan opening up Monday’s 30th Anniversary show from Philadelphia. 

If you’re going to kick off the show, the 30th Anniversary of Raw, it should be Hulk Hogan. He’s the name and face of the company. He’s the guy that revolutionized pro wrestling. I have so much respect for him. 

Angle would appear later in the show when he joined D-Generation X during their ring entrance and then seemingly pledged to join the group. The segment eventually led to Teddy Long booking Imperium vs. Seth Rollins & The Street Profits with Angle as referee. 

Angle also underwent surgery recently. He had double knee surgery performed last summer. Describing his recovery process from the procedure, Angle said, “It’s pretty brutal especially when you have both knees done at the same time. I never went through anything this difficult. I also have a little bit of a back problem, so I can’t use my legs but I can’t use my back. So, I’m pretty much useless.”
