10 Wrestlers Who Inflicted The Most Damage To Their Bodies
4. Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan's back!
Yes, that picture is disgusting, but it's more pleasant than those words heralding his return to WWE, no?
"Brother, I went under the knife 100 times, brother!"
This might scan as a trademark Hulk Hogan lie, alongside such luminaries as "I fought MMA fighters before MMA existed as a sport, which makes me harder than Rickson Gracie, Jack!", "Brother, I wasn't in the same country as that made-up dying child, but I felt his prayers telepathically" and "I worked 400 days out of 365 because of that mystical time difference".
And yet, it's true. You might not think it - Hogan as a WWF babyface megastar in the 1980s was hardly a bump machine, and the only time he ever got dumped on his head was a lie that the Undertaker believed for two years - but it's true.
Hogan ravaged his body because he couldn't stop dropping the leg on that old, concrete Fed ring - and, because losing didn't work for the Hulkster, brother, he dropped that leg a great number of times.
A hip-destroyer of a finish, hid knees and hips are as fake as his tall tales, and he once spent 10 hours under the knife to rebuild his back entirely.
