WWE legend Hulk Hogan remains in top physical shape despite his age and long injury history.

The 70-year-old is considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time and although he stopped taking bumps a long time ago, he still hits the gym.

Hogan's wrestling career kicked off way back in 1977 and took off in 1983 with the birth of Hulkamania, which made him the sport's most popular superstar.

The Hulkster stood at an awesome 6-foot-7, weighing 302 pounds during his glory years, which led him to legendary WWE matches against the likes of Andre The Giant, Randy Savage, The Undertaker, and many more.

The American grappler also changed the game upon his shock move to WCW in 1994 where he formed the historic nWo faction alongside Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.

The 12-time world champion also proved that age is just a number in 2002 when he won his final WWE Championship at the age of 49.

The Immortal continued to make sporadic appearances in the ring with a pair of dream matches against Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton in 2005 and 2006, which was his final WWE match.

Hogan hasn't competed in the ring since 2012 during his time in TNA when he teamed up with Sting and James Storm to defeat Kurt Angle, Bully Ray, and Bobby Roode in Manchester.

However, the ex-WCW Champion retains an incredible physical shape with his 24-inch "pythons" still intact.

That is despite a career marred by injury which has seen his knees, hips, back, and face take a massive toll.

In fact, wrestling fans were alarmed last year when fellow Hall of Famer Angle claimed Hogan was paralyzed from the waist down after undergoing his 11th back surgery.

However, the father of Hulkamania dismissed those rumors, insisting he is still doing well.

The controversial heavyweight hasn't appeared on WWE since January 2023 for RAW's 30th anniversary.
