Hulk Hogan’s death was ruled natural months ago, but a newly surfaced audio clip is giving a pretty unsettling look at what was apparently going on with him just weeks before he died. Hogan can be heard claiming he already knew he’d suffered a stroke — all while Sky Daily was questioning why he was still behind the wheel.
Bubba the Love Sponge dropped the audio on Twitter on November 13, explaining that someone emailed it to him with the pretty ominous title “Hogan’s Last Days.” He then played the short recording for his audience.
“This is an email I got that had an audio attached to it, and it was labeled ‘Hogan’s Last Days.’ That’s what it was labeled. Here you go.”
Once the audio starts, Hogan gets straight to the point and tells Sky he already knew he’d suffered a stroke. Sky’s immediate response was basically the obvious question — why the hell was he driving?
“Here’s the deal, baby. I already knew I had a stroke.”
Sky responded, saying, “Then why are you driving when you had a stroke?” Hogan replied, as he said, “Because I’m trying to drive.” That wasn’t the only thing worrying Sky. She then pointed out that Hogan was apparently having trouble figuring out how to use his razor, something Hogan pushed back on before repeating that he believed the stroke had happened weeks earlier.
“I can. It’s not my razor. First off, I knew I had a stroke probably three weeks ago. I already knew. So that’s why it’s very important that we have a consistent team that knows the difference between…”
And that’s where the audio cuts off. Bubba was left trying to make sense of what Hogan was about to say, but he focused on the fact that Sky was questioning both Hogan’s driving and what appeared to be trouble using the razor.
“That’s it. He said, ‘It’s important that we have a consistent team that knows the difference between…’ Don’t know. He’s driving. She alludes to the fact that he’s driving. She said, ‘If you had a stroke, why are you driving? You can’t even work the razor.’ He goes, ‘It’s not the razor,’ insinuating that it was him, insinuating he was having dexterity issues.”
The timing makes the recording especially eerie. Hulk Hogan died at his Clearwater, Florida home on July 24, 2025, and Bubba presented the audio as coming from roughly three weeks before his death.
There had already been plenty of questions surrounding Hogan’s final days, but police eventually closed the book on the matter. Back in June 2026, the Clearwater Police Department said an approximately 11-month investigation found “no evidence” of criminal wrongdoing and officially classified Hogan’s passing as an “attended natural death.”
Investigators also learned that Hogan had been in rough shape following multiple surgeries. He was at home with Sky and two healthcare workers when he stopped breathing, with Sky calling 911 while one of the medical professionals performed CPR before Hogan was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Of course, Hogan saying he “knew” he’d suffered a stroke isn’t the same thing as a medical diagnosis, and the newly released clip doesn’t change the police ruling on his death. Still, hearing Hogan say it himself while Sky questions why he’s driving and points out what she saw as trouble using a razor paints a pretty troubling picture of what was happening behind closed doors during his final weeks.
