Hulk Hogan has been hospitalized but is recovering well, according to multiple reports.

Rumors of Hogan’s poor health began with radio host Bubba the Love Sponge, who said earlier today that the former pro-wrestler was doing so bad family was being called in to say their goodbyes.

A representative denied the rumors to TMZ, telling the outlet that the surgery was related to previous injuries and ailments.

Last month, the outlet reported Hogan had undergone successful neck surgery.

According to another report from Us Weekly, the surgery Hogan was in the hospital for this time was heart related.

“Hulk had pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago and was doing well afterwards, it wasn’t a near-death thing,” the source explained to the outlet.

They added he is recovering but is not “on death’s door.”

Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, began his career in the WWE (formerly WWF) and earned six titles. He’s also acted in a few films, including “Rocky III” alongside Sylvester Stallone, as well as “No Holds Barred,” “Suburban Commando,” and “Mr. Nanny.”

The wrestling icon is currently embroiled in a fallout with his daughter, Brooke Hogan.

Brooke revealed on Instagram that she decided to distance herself from both her dad and mother, Linda Hogan.

“I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents,” she wrote in March. “No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother.”

She added the decision was made, “based purely on how they have dealt with me directly my entire life.”

The family appeared on a reality show together in 2005, “Hogan Knows Best.” Hogan and Linda later divorced in 2007.
