Hulk Hogan was spotted walking after the false claims of paralysis
Hulk Hogan was seen walking with his son, Nick Hogan, as the two conducted errands in his first public appearance since his agent assured fans that he was alright.
Hogan, real name Terry Gene Bollea, was spotted with his son, wearing his signature bandana. On Friday, the father and son were photographed leaving a DMV in Florida and embracing before getting into their vehicle.
The WWE legend, 69, moved with confidence despite using a walking stick. Hogan didn’t even need the walking stick, which he juggled when he stopped to greet a fan and shake their hand.
Hogan’s representative came on Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday to dispel allegations that the WWE legend was paralyzed and unable to walk following recent back surgery.
Hulk Hogan is recovering and doing well, he is not paralyzed, according to the spokesman.
He said:
“Everything is okay with him. Hulk is someone with a lot of humor.”
Hulk announced karaoke night on his Instagram account on Monday, along with a selfie of himself at the microphone:
“We’re getting this party started at #hoganshangout #clearwaterbeach Monday night #karaoke brother!!!”

Who made the false claim that Hogan’s paralyzed?
Fellow WWE wrestler Kurt Angle said on his podcast, ‘The Kurt Angle Podcast’ that Hulk Hogan could no longer feel his legs.
The former Olympian revealed that last week, backstage at a show, Hogan told him that he had lost all feeling in his lower body.
He said:
“He had the nerves cut from his lower body. He can’t feel his lower body. So let’s use his cane to walk around. I thought he was using the cane because he had pain in his back. He doesn’t have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can’t feel anything.”
He continued:
“So now he can’t feel his legs. So he has to walk with a cane which is, you know, that’s pretty serious, man. I mean, I really feel for Hogan.”
Angle continued:
“He put his heart and soul into the business and ate him up. I mean, if you’re gonna kick off the show, the 30th anniversary of Raw, [it] should be 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.”
