Hulk Hogan's death linked to hectic schedule after surgery while funeral details are yet to be revealed

Terry Bollea, known to the whole wide world as Hulk Hogan , was one of the biggest stars in the world of wrestling. Unfortunately, at the age of 71, he suddenly passed away after a cardiac arrest. The veteran star had quite a few surgeries on his neck and back recently, and overall, had more than 25 surgeries in his lifetime.

But all the health issues did not stop him from traveling around the country and the world to meet fans and show up at events. But now, it is being said that his hectic travel schedule could be the reason behind his sudden passing, especially after his recent surgeries.


Hulk Hogan's travel schedule could have led to his sudden death
Back in May, after Hulk Hogan was reportedly admitted to the hospital for neck and back issues, and had to undergo more than one surgery, it led to a few complications. So much so that rumors were afloat about him being in a coma, and his once-close friend, podcast show host, Bubba, claimed that he was on his deathbed and might not make it.


Now, after Hogan's death, Bubba revealed on the latest episode of his show that it could be his hectic travel schedule that could have led to more complications for him health-wise, and ultimately became the reason for his sudden demise. He said that the doctors had suggested that the Hulkster take rest after his surgeries, but he didn't heed any advice, and was continuously on the road to promote his business and attend various events all over the country.

“Had he slowed down and not thought he had to be, you know, at three or four or five different cities a week—promoting his beer, in New York promoting his new wrestling federation, in New York promoting his new sports bar, at Hogan’s Hangout every Monday night for karaoke, supposed to be at Pigeon Valley, Tennessee for the opening of the new Hogan Surf Shop... Had he slowed down and rested—the only thing that was going to repair his esophagus and the complications they had—was rest.”

If Hulk Hogan had taken the time to rest up and given his body the time it needed to heal, maybe it would not have ended in such a tragedy all of a sudden.


Hulk Hogan's funeral details are yet to be made public
Amid all the speculation about what led to his death, another topic of discussion among the media is about Hulk Hogan's funeral. Fans are also trying to theorise when and where it will take place, and if he will get a state funeral, given his close ties to POTUS Donald Trump . Hulk has always been regarded as an American Hero, and many of his fans are urging for the wrestling legend to be honored with a state funeral.
