Hulk Hogan was a huge part of WWE’s success in the 1980s. Though at 68 years of age he looks in perfect shape, Hogan’s injury issues with his back are well documented, with him undergoing many surgeries for the same.

As he began his recovery process after yet another surgery a couple of years ago, ‘The ‘Hulkster’ complimented a world renowned bodybuilder for his toughness.

Hogan was referring to none other than the bodybuilding great, Ronnie Coleman.

Coleman is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. He has an astonishing 26 IFBB professional titles to his name. He also famously won the prestigious Mr. Olympia title eight years in a row surpassing Arnold.

What Hulk Hogan said about Coleman?

While Hogan has had to get many surgeries to deal with his back issues, Coleman is himself no stranger to extensive surgeries and then working out again.

The former Mr. Olympia revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he has had 13 surgical procedures over the years, on his back, hips, and neck.
