Hulk Hogan's Final Interview: Painkiller Addiction & Divorce

0:00On April 22nd, Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24th, 2025, at age 71 from a heart attack. In his last interview before dying, the wrestling legend opened up about doubting massive doses of fentanyl after his divorce from Linda Hogan. By the time he jumped to total non-stop action wrestling in 2009, Hogan had already been through at least 10 major surgeries. His body was breaking down from decades in the ring, leaving him in constant agony. His close friend Eric Bischoff, a former WWE exec, shared how bad it got, often helping Hogan out of bed just a shower before matches. The pain pushed Hogan deep into pain killers to keep going. That same year, his split from Linda sent him spiraling. He confessed to heavy drinking, popping pills, and even putting a gun in his mouth during a dark moment. They shared two kids, Brooke at 37, and Nick at 35. The pharmacist straight warned him, he should be dead from the amounts, patches, lozenges, everything.
