“I’d turn to dust,” Hulk Hogan reveals if he’s eyeing for one more match at the age of 71
The former 6-time World Champion has accomplished more during his in-ring career than his contemporaries. But does Hulk Hogan plan to do more?

Hulk Hogan has been hogging the limelight for quite a while now. For the good part of 2024, the 71-year-old earnestly politicked for Donald Trump. It more or less snowballed into him getting booed out of the arena on the Netflix premiere of Raw. For someone like Hogan, who’s yearned for an in-ring return quite a few times in recent years, is he finally over it? It seems so.
Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. He outright rejected the idea of working a match with the shape he’s currently in. The Hulkster joked about turning to dust if he were to take a bump in the ring. For the unversed, the retired wrestler has had about 25 surgeries over the past decade.
Hulk made that staggering claim via Logan Paul‘s IMPAULSIVE podcast last year. The Immortal One hasn’t wrestled since January 2012. It appears to be staying the same way. He’s currently signed to WWE on a renewed five-year legends deal that materialized not that long ago.
It ain’t there, bro. One more surgery. If I fall down in the ring, I think I’d turn to dust

As part of their bolstered ties, WWE has even partnered up with Hogan’s Real American Beer brand. Hulk turning up in Los Angeles at Raw on Jan 6 is believed to be linked with it. While speaking to Pat McAfee in the aforementioned interview, The Hulkster admitted that he expected the negative reaction from the live crowd.
The larger-than-life wrestling figure blamed it on his allegiance to the NWO. He claimed that the legendary stable acted as “heels” during their previous WWE appearance in the city of Angels. On top of that, Hogan warned the people of California about the imminent misery if Kamala Harris becomes its governor once again.
Which WWE Superstar recently mocked Hulk Hogan?
For a multitude of obvious reasons, Hulk Hogan isn’t as popular with the present locker room of WWE as he might’ve been in his heyday. One of Mr. America’s biggest antagonists is CM Punk.

On Raw this Monday, The Best in the World trolled the WWE Hall of Famer by doing his signature impression on every side of the ring. Punk apparently went off the cuffs in the lead-up to the Royal Rumble when he claimed that if Hogan’s in the 30-man contest, he’d throw his “dusty a**” over the top rope.
Shortly after that, a resurfaced clip from Punk’s 2015 CBS Chicago appearance went viral. In the video, the 47-year-old, flanked by the Blackhawks fans, could be seen dumping on The Hulkster, calling him a garbage human being.
