The former friend of Hulk Hogan says he was “right” on the health of the wrestler

One of the former good friends of Hulk Hogan wants the unfortunate credit to be “correct” on the health problems of the legend of the fight.

Bubba The Love Sponge had said since last month that Hogan’s health has decreased, even saying that he was in the USI for six weeks and on his deathbed.

Hogan died Thursday at the age of 71.

“I cannot remove what I have already said, and what I have already planned properly. But I am officially the guy who was the only one to tell the truth about the physical condition of Hulk Hogan”, Bubba the Love Sponge said in his radio show.

“And that made some people say:” You know what, Bubba was right. “No, I wish God that I was not right, because being right means that we have a dead Hulk Hogan.”

The two men have a complicated story. It was Bubba’s wife at the time with which Hogan was involved in a sex tape published by Gawker in 2012. The event led to a possible $ 115 million awarded to Hogan of the media after arguing that the release of the cassette was an invasion of privacy.

Nevertheless, Bubba seemed upset that his reports were rejected by people from the Hogan’s inner circle.

“I do not know if I would say the truth would be so serious if people like his wife (Sky Daily), Brian Blair, Jimmy Hart, Eric Bischoff, Missy Beefcake and all the other hard-hungry dars lasted (calling me),” he said. “I have a special link with this guy who is no longer so special. But, for 15 years, this guy was one of my best friends. We saw each other every day. There are things that I will take in my grave that I know that he and I went through.”

A statement was published on Hogan’s Instagram page on his death.

“It is with a heavy heart and a deep sadness that we confirm that we have lost a legend,” said the post. “Our beloved Terry Bollea, known worldwide under the name of Hulk Hogan, has died today surrounded by his relatives.

“At that time of sorrow, we ask everyone to respect the intimacy of his family and friends. May we all take comfort in the wonderful memories he left for millions of fans in the world of which he touched life for more than four decades. He will miss, but never forgotten.”

Five unforgettable Hulk Hogan games that have defined the history of the struggle

The Superstar Pro Wrestler, whose real name was Terry Bollea, made his debut in the Florida wrestling championship (CWF) in the late 1970s before joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979. However, it is only his return to WWF, now WWE, when he became the superstar that fans came.

Vince McMahon had bought WWF from his father and had chosen Hogan to be the main attraction of the company. He started to fight when he saved Bob Backlund from an attack by wild Samoans. “Hulkamania” has become rage from there.
