Hulk Hogan spent the week in the hospital recovering after undergoing a critical surgery to repair ongoing issues with his back Tuesday (Dec 21).

The 57-year-old wrestling icon, who married his much younger girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel earlier this month, has always been plagued with back problems, and he basically had his entire spinal court built “from the ground up” in a surgery that lasted roughly 10 hours!

According to E! Online, Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) was in the hospital as of Wednesday (Dec 22) and was said to be doing well at the time. No word on whether or not he was released in time to spend Christmas with his new wife.
