— Hulk Hogan is said to be “recovering smoothly” after his back surgery on Tuesday. Hogan checked into the hotel Tuesday after his longtime back injuries had worsened. He received spinal fusion, the procedure for which took about ten hours. “We hope he’ll be able to leave the hospital relatively quickly,” said a source. “He’s always taken very good care of himself and in very good physical shape.” Another source told RadarOnline.com, “It was a pretty lengthy surgical procedure. Doctors did some fusion work and rebuilding and restructuring of the spine. But he’s recovering smoothly.” Hogan was married last week in a beachfront ceremony in the backyard of their home in Clearwater, Florida. Congrats to the happy couple. (We think!)
