Controversial WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has claimed that he can't even straighten his arms anymore, stating that “everything hurts”.
Hogan, 70, hasn't stepped foot in a ring to wrestle since teaming with James Storm and Sting to beat Bobby Roode, Bully Ray and Kurt Angle in Manchester, UK, in 2012. And it looks as if that could be it for the man who has never officially retired.
The bloke who once claimed to have the biggest biceps in the world told acclaimed wrestling interviewer Chris Van Vliet: “I had a physical therapist ask me . . . ‘If you could be out of pain, or you could have a perfect championship walk to the ring which would you rather have?’. And I said ‘I’d rather have the walk.’

“She goes ‘You’re out of your mind!’ and I tell her ‘yes I am' because everything hurts. It’s hard to explain but when I brush my teeth and I lean on the counter to brush my teeth, I can’t push away, so when I’m done brushing my teeth I have to lean in and then pull back.
“I can’t push a glass door open. Even in the gym, it’s short strokes, I can’t straighten my arms out, and it’s the same with my knees and my hips, my back, my neck.
“But that’s because I probably wrestled too long and I didn’t get the memo that that stuff was fake. I'm in pain all the time, but I'm used to it – my go-to in the morning is two cups of coffee and two Tylenols (pain killers) and then that's it, that's as far as I go as far as pain pills go.”

He did admit that he could “probably lose the Tylenols” but that he was only having them out of habit. Hogan wrestled more than 1,500 matches throughout his storied career, winning championships in WWE and WCW.
His last championship run was as one half of the WWE World Tag Team Championships with Edge in 2002. Despite a few sporadic appearances for WWE in recent years – most of which saw the crowd boo him – his last full time on-screen run came with TNA Wrestling from 2009 to 2012.
