Hulk Hogan goes for a walk after false claims he was paralyzed

The 69-year-old can still walk following back surgery, despite fellow wrestler’s claims that he can no longer feel his legs.

The WWE legend, Hulk Hogan, was seen walking with his son, Nick Hogan, as the two ran errands in the first appearance since his rep told fans that he was fine.

Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, wore his iconic bandana and appeared comfortable and casual out and about with his son. The pair were seen leaving a DMV in Florida on Friday and embracing before getting into their vehicle.

The former wrestler, age 69, used a walking stick but other than that walked with confidence. Hogan didn’t even really rely on the walking stick, as he easily juggled it when he stopped to greet a fan and shake their hand.

Is the Hulk doing okay?

Hulk Hogan’s rep appeared on Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday to clear up some murky rumors that the WWE legend was paralyzed and could no longer walk since the wrestler’s recent back surgery.

The rep said Hogan is in recovery and that the reality television star is “doing well and is not paralyzed.”

“Everything is okay with him,” he said. “Hulk is someone with a lot of humor.”

On Monday, the Hulk posted about karaoke night to his Instagram account, along with a photo of himself at the microphone.

“We’re getting this party started at #hoganshangout #clearwaterbeach Monday night #karaoke brother!!!”

Who said Hulk Hogan was paralyzed?

The clarification was in response to Kurt Angle, WWE wrestler, who said on his podcast Sunday that Hogan was paralyzed.

“Hogan had his back surgery again,” 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.”

“I really feel for Hogan,” Angle continued. “He put his heart and soul into the business and ate him up,” Angle continued.
