Hulk Hogan’s health situation might be far more serious than anyone’s letting on—at least according to Wrestling Observer Radio. Despite public denials and reassurances from his camp, a new update from Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales has reignited concern.
During the July 20 episode, Gonzales brought up the recent silence surrounding Hogan, pointing out the fact that he hasn’t made any appearances in weeks and there’s been no concrete update. Meltzer didn’t have a direct medical report to share—but said the lack of information speaks volumes.
“I don’t know anything more. He’s obviously been in and out of the hospital. It’s probably not good. We haven’t seen any public appearances or anything in weeks. It’s probably not good.”
Gonzales agreed that the situation feels more serious than what’s been publicly shared.
“Because of who he is, I don’t know that we should know more, but just the hush-hushness about it makes it a little worse than I would think.”
Meltzer echoed the sentiment, suggesting that the quiet approach only fuels speculation.
“I would say the same thing you said. The way it’s all been done makes me feel like it’s worse than we’re being told.”
Back in mid-June, it was Bubba the Love Sponge who first sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, claiming that Hogan was in critical condition after neck surgery. “There are phone calls being made to various family members about getting to town to come say their goodbyes,” he said at the time.
TMZ Sports and Hogan’s rep later shut that down, insisting the WWE Hall of Famer was just recovering from a complicated four-level neck fusion surgery and was already moving around again. Weeks later, Hogan’s wife Sky Daily addressed it on Instagram, saying, “He’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong… He’s healing, and we’re taking it one day at a time.”
Still, with no recent Hogan sightings and now Meltzer himself saying “it’s probably not good,” fans are starting to worry all over again.
