Hulk Hogan on his deathbed? – NO, Addresses Rumors
The WWE wrestler Terry Gene Bollea, popularly known as Hulk Hogan, was recently hospitalised because of his ongoing neck and back issues. Due to this reason, a speculation of him being on his deathbed started spreading, and so he shared with 'E! News' on June 18, 'no reasons to panic.
' His rep continued that over the years, the star has for years 'had problems with his back,' adding that he underwent neck surgery and the procedure 'has indeed been successful.'
When did the rumours actually start?
It first started spreading after the social media content creator 'Bubba The Love Sponge' claimed during a stream that the wrestler was "in the hospital" and "might not make it." His rep had previously told 'TMZ' in May that Hulk simply needed a 'little fusion procedure."
He had many surgeries before
Hulk tied the knot with Sky Daily in 2023 and was previously married to Jennifer McDaniel and Linda Hogan. He is no stranger to a procedure or two, as he previously stated he's had around 25 surgeries. He told Jake Paul on the 'Impaulsive' podcast in September 2024, 'I've had like 25 surgeries in the last ten years. 10 of them were back surgeries," further saying, "I've had 10 back surgeries, both knees and both hips replaced, shoulders—everything.
'
This news broke out after less than 3 months of his daughter's statement about the family
Brooke Hogan, with whom he shares Linda along with son Nick Hogan, wrote in a post on social media, '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," wrote on a post of a social media. Further, she had written, 'I so badly wanted to see good in them, protect, help, and start anew-just to be disrespected again and again. I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition.
' She added, "Their behavior became more painful than their absence." Hulk has yet to speak out about the family part and has kept silent excluding the part where he got hospitalised.

Elio movie review: This lifeless coming-of-age drama, the worst from Pixar, lacks self-belief just like its protagonist
In an age where everything is a remake or a sequel, Pixar has developed a reputation as one of the rare Hollywood studios that delivers 'original programming'. Fresh off the success of Inside Out 2, the animation giant comes out with Elio, the tale of a boy who doesn't quite fit in. And strangely enough, the same problem exists with the film as well. It is as tepid as it is predictable, and despite everything going for it, Elio just fails to get off the ground. The film is about the titular Elio, an orphan who lives with his aunt but never quite fits in. Elio dreams about being abducted by aliens, and behold, it does happen. The only issue is that the aliens—a conglomerate of the universe's finest called the Communiverse—assume he is Earth's leader. To stay in the Communiverse, he must negotiate peace with a warmonger named Lord Grigon, an alien warlord. But this may be more than Elio bargained for. Technically, there is hardly anything wrong with Elio. It is a well-animated film with visuals that jump out at you. The alien species look different enough, and yet innocent enough. The animators have even managed to bring the trademark Pixar-cuteness to the warmongering race of aliens. Elio also appears likeable, despite his quirks and pre-teen rebellion. The world-building is solid, with the Communiverse growing on you as the film progresses. But all that is largely on the surface. The film is a breezy feel-good affair that draws a few chuckles here and a few awws there. But Pixar has raised the bar so high over the years that all this feels bare minimum for a film from this stable. The emotional connect, which is the trademark of any good Pixar film, is missing here. We like Elio, but do we relate to him? The emotion of not fitting and feeling alone is so universal that the film should have easily tapped into it. Yet, Elio cannot manage what a non-human robot did over a decade ago (here's the mandatory Wall-e mention in a Pixar story). But even minus the emotional connect, Elio had the chance to be entertaining and engaging. It fumbles that, too, with some dull and lifeless storytelling. Elio gets predictable pretty quickly and resorts to tried-and-tested tropes, never staying ahead of the audience. If you have seen any two Pixar films in your life, or any two films for that matter, you can easily predict the next plot point and the next red herring. That takes the sheen away from what is developing as a solid entertaining film. The only thing going for Elio is its originality. The story may be age-old, but the treatment is new. The concept, however cliched, is presented in a 21st-century manner. Add to that the stunning visuals, and you have at least a watchable film, if not an enjoyable one. Elio takes universal tropes and themes, like all Pixar films, but only scratches the surface while dealing with them. Once you have seen genre-defining treatments of identity crisis (Soul), longing (Finding Nemo), and anxiety (Inside Out), it is hard to settle for just bang average.
