Hulk Hogan's Final Days: Bubba's 'Deathbed' Claims Spark Mystery

BOMBSHELL: Hulk Hogan's Shocking Final Days Exposed

In a stunning twist, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge Clem has claimed that wrestling icon Hulk Hogan was on his deathbed just weeks before his passing at 71. The shocking revelation has left fans reeling and begging for answers about the legendary wrestler's final days.

Bubba, a former close friend of Hogan who secretly recorded the sex tape scandal in 2012, made the bombshell claim while speaking live on air. According to Bubba, his "pretty damn reliable" source had told him that Hogan was in such bad health that he "might not make it." However, both Hogan's wife and reputable news outlet TMZ have since shot down these claims as nothing more than rumors.

But what really happened during Hulk Hogan's final days? And how did the wrestling legend, who passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, deal with the trauma of the sex tape scandal that rocked the world?

The Sex Tape Scandal That Changed Everything

It all started back in 2012 when Bubba secretly recorded Hogan having sex with his wife Heather Clem. The video, which was published by gossip news website Gawker (now defunct), depicted Hogan engaging in intimate acts with Heather in their home. But what's even more shocking is that Hogan was the best man at the couple's wedding in 2007.

Gawker claims it got a copy of the sex tape from an anonymous source, but Hogan's attorney has insisted that his client had no idea he was being recorded. The wrestling legend admitted to having consensual sex with Heather, but claimed he didn't know about the security camera.

In October 2012, Hogan brought lawsuits against Bubba, his ex-wife Linda, and Gawker, claiming the video caused "severe and irreparable injury which cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages." The lawsuit was a major embarrassment for Hogan, who had always been known for his family-friendly image.

The Fallout: Hulk Hogan vs. Bubba the Love Sponge

In the aftermath of the sex tape scandal, Hogan's reputation took a hit. But what about his friendship with Bubba? Sources close to the couple revealed that their friendship had been strained for years, but they never thought it would come to this.

Bubba later retracted his comments accusing Hogan of possibly leaking the tape himself. "It is my belief that Hulk is not involved, and has not ever been involved, in trying to release the video, or exploit it, or otherwise gain from the video's release in any way," he said in a statement.

The Final Days: What Really Happened?

So what really happened during Hogan's final days? According to TMZ, the wrestling legend was hospitalized on June 18 to address long-term neck and back issues. But Bubba claimed that Hogan was on his deathbed just weeks before his passing.

Hogan's wife Sky Daily shot down these claims, saying "No, he's definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumours are true."

The wrestling legend had undergone neck surgery in May to alleviate long-term pain. He was back to work just 24 hours after going under the knife while preparing for the launch of his new wrestling league, Real American Freestyle.

As one might expect, Hogan's health has been a concern for years. In fact, he revealed to WWE superstar Logan Paul that he had at least 25 surgeries from 2014 to 2024 alone.

The Legacy Lives On

While Hulk Hogan may be gone, his legacy lives on. Fans around the world are still reeling from the news of his passing, and the wrestling community is mourning the loss of a true icon.

Bubba the Love Sponge Clem has since released a statement expressing his heartbreak over Hogan's passing. "I’m heartbroken to hear of Terry’s passing. As everyone knows we had our issues and those issues were mostly my fault. I loved him as a friend while he was with us, and will continue to love his memory as a friend going forward."

As the news of Hulk Hogan's death breaks, fans are left wondering what really happened during his final days. Was Bubba telling the truth about Hogan's health? And what secrets did Hogan take to his grave?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the wrestling world will never be the same without the iconic Hulk Hogan.
