Its amazing to me that as limited as Hulk's skillset seems to be, he's as broken down as he is. Really makes me worried for some of these other folks that fly off the ropes. Also, Kurt Angle. It shouldn't be surprising at all. Wrestling is difficult on the body, and Hogan was working 300 days a year at one point and also is in his 4th decade of active wrestling (although he is probably done with it now). As mentioned already the leg drop, which he did probably a million times in his career, impacts the back, spine, and hip. That was legit 300 pounds doing that every night. It is going to take its toll. Just because he wasn't bumping around like Angle or Michaels, doesn't mean his body didn't go through the typical wrestling cycle. Glad Hulk is OK.

Come on he is the Immortal Hulk Hogan. Hogan will look death in the eye, and just when death almost has him Hogan beat. He Hulks up, and hits the big boot, and drops the leg in a force so strong it creates the planet Hulkamania .

Even if he wasn't a wrestler, he's 56 years old and a big man. People at this age tend to develop problems. Hes getting older. Even if he was the most healthy living guy on the planet, its not out of the ordinary.

You also have to consider that Hogan probably took a lot of steroids and is the only roidhead of that REALLY, REALLY, REALLY roided up era (late 80's to early 90's) that is still wrestling today. Warrior actually did not spend a lot time wrestling and most of the others are dead. If Hogan was not lucky enough to be able to work that light he would probably be dead now.

Am I the only one wondering why a Hogan health scare story is bringing up Kurt Angle? I was getting that same feeling. What the hell does Kurt Angle have to do with Hogan? Nothing. But of course there going to say stuff like he is great danger in health still. Like it's still 2006. So people don't believe Angle will live to be 60? When he been healthy his his TNA run. It getting old hearing those kinds of comments about Angle. Like Angle is so clueless about his health and what he is doing.

Its also ntoed that Hulk liked his cocaine too.

It seems Austin will come into the same problems that Hulk has as his finisher also involved him jumping flat onto his ass 300 times a year

The rings they worked in Hogan's day were pretty awful, to be fair. Foley talks about this in his book. A lot of the newer stars will hopefully be in better shape when they're older.

That is good that Hulk's going to be OK. Having a heart problem is serious that's what my dad died from last year.
I don't wish that on anyone. Even though I may not like a lot of the changes that he and Eric Bischoff have made in TNA right now I'm still a fan of his and wish him good health.

yeah man, can you imagine the state kurt will be in in his 60's?? Probably still putting on 5 star clinics. Or being in a clinic, if he continues to ignore his health. I hope he finally gets some much needed recovery.

Even if Hogan has wrestled safely, it doesn't say the same for every one of his opponents. And the guy has been in the business since the 70's. Doing any high impact job for that long will mess your body up.

Doing any high impact job for that long will mess your body up. I also think the rampent use of cocaine in the 80s put a large toll on these wrestlers. Ironically, Kurt Angle is wrestling as if he is in his early 30s, though I am not sure if he is really in good health or not. 10 years ago, Hogan was in such bad condition that you can tell he couldn't pull off an Irish Whip(a really simple wrestling move).

Glad to hear he's ok.
But yes, said move might get him to think he broke his tailbone.
