Hulk Hogan can 'feel his hands' again after his neck op
Hulk Hogan can "feel his hands" again after undergoing neck surgery.
The wrestling legend had the procedure last week and his friend Eric Bischoff revealed that the operation has eased the discomfort all over his body.
Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said: "They had to work on the discs in his neck, but they had to go in through the front to get to him to relieve some of the pressure and damage that he was experiencing in his legs and his hands.
"What I heard from one of the people that works closely with him on a daily basis was that coming out of that surgery, for the first time in a long time, he could actually feel his hands.
"He hasn't been able to feel his hands... as soon as he woke up, the first thing he said was, 'I can feel my hands', which I think is really cool."
Bischoff also hit out at online negativity against Hulk, 71, and says it contrasts hugely with his enduring popularity in the real world.
The wrestling executive said: "(The critics are) just bottom feeder, unproductive sheep that tend to want to be the loudest people in the room.
"You go outside of that little bubble, and as you pointed out, it's mind-boggling that kind of response he gives. It's not only at the fan level, but even now... I'm talking to networks, large ones, who are wanting to know how much we're going to be able to use Hulk."
Bischoff and Hogan are preparing to launch a new wrestling league, Real American Freestyle, this summer and he doesn't want to overexpose the retired WWE star in the venture that is separate from "sports entertainment".
He said: "I don't want to see too much Hulk Hogan on TV... because that will make the job of separating ourselves and defining our brand from sports entertainment (harder).
"So the more I see Hulk on TV as a producer, the harder my job becomes, but yet the networks I'm talking to are going, 'Yeah, but can we get a special interview... Can we get Hulk on a pre-show?'"

Dave Bautista wants to be more than 'just a movie star'
Dave Bautista "never wanted to be just a movie star". The former WWE legend has swapped wrestling for Hollywood with roles in the likes of 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'Knock at the Cabin' and 'The Killing Game', and he insisted his movie choices are inspired more by challenging himself as an actor than earning the most money. He told Sports Illustrated: "I never wanted to be just a movie star or chase a paycheque. 'I wanted to prove I could stand on stage with the best actors in the world and hold my own. That's what drives me.' He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of fellow WWE alumni John Cena and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson by simply embracing the "action movie star" tropes. He explained: "I didn't want to just step away from wrestling and become another action movie star. "I wanted to prove I could be an actor. I wanted to be respected by my peers, just like I was in wrestling. "Respect has always meant more to me than accolades... In wrestling, the respect I earned from people like The Undertaker, Triple H, and Eddie Guerrero meant everything to me. "It's the same in Hollywood. I want to feel like I deserve to be here, that I've earned my place among the best.' And now, the former 'James Bond' star is keen to take his love for storytelling behind the camera with producting, while directing is a long term goal. He said: "As an actor, I love telling stories. That passion has transitioned into producing. I want to be involved in creating stories, not just performing them. "I want to make meaningful films, ones that connect with people... Being a producer means I can shape the stories I want to tell. "It's about more than being in front of the camera; it's about contributing to the art as a whole.' The 'Dune' actor previously opened up on how he hopes his star keeps ascending in order for him to "make smaller films". Bautista told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's funny, I want to be a bigger star so I can make smaller films, that's my goal. "Those are the films I love. But the fastest route to that is being a commodity; if you're a big star, you're a commodity. "So that's the thing – people are willing to listen to you, they're willing to hear you out if you can bring something to the table, and you bring something to the table when you're a big star. "So I'm hoping to grow my name and become enough of a star where I can make smaller independent films."
