Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan put rumors that he is paralyzed to rest Thursday, filming a viral video of himself performing WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s iconic strut.
The idea that Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, was paralyzed first began to gain traction after fellow WWE icon Kurt Angle spoke about a recent operation Hogan underwent on his podcast, the Kurt Angle Show.
HULK HOGAN TEAM DENIES CLAIM THAT WRESTLING LEGEND ‘CAN’T FEEL LOWER BODY’
“Hogan had his back surgery again. He had the nerves cut from his lower body,” Angle, 54, said. “He can’t feel his lower body. He has to use his cane to walk around. I thought he was using his 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 can’t feel his legs, so he has to walk with a cane, so that’s pretty serious.”
Hogan, 69, slammed the rumors in a video shared by TMZ Friday, showing him performing Ric Flair’s strut without any assistance and no cane in sight.

Hogan has had to work though multiple injuries throughout his legendary career, and has had at least 10 back surgeries, according to a report.
However, his latest video appears to show that no one and nothing is putting him on his back anytime soon.
