Hulk Hogan became one of the biggest names in wrestling<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The now 70-year-old Hogan, whose birth name is Terry Gene Bollea, spoke about the physical toll the sports have taken on his body over the decades. He also opened up about his addiction to prescription painkillers<\/a> following a string of surgeries.<\/p>\n

“I had doctors writing me prescription after prescription, and all of a sudden, it became a vicious cycle,” Hogan told “Muscle And Health.”<\/p>\n

Hogan added that he underwent 25 surgeries.<\/p>\n

“I was hitting the pain pills hard because I\u2019d had to endure 25 procedures, including 10 to my back, facial operations from being kicked, knee and hip replacements and abdominal and shoulder surgeries.”<\/p>\n

Hogan also recalled a time when he could barely function.<\/p>\n

“There was a period of time, about five or six years ago, where I was in crazy pain to the extent I couldn\u2019t even function. When you have back surgery, it takes a good year for your body to recover, yet they were cutting on me every four months.<\/p>\n

“I needed pain meds at that stage, that\u2019s for sure. But once things started to wind down, they continued giving me the same meds.”<\/p>\n

The retired professional wrestler and WWE superstar<\/a> later shared details on his decision to stop drinking earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“About seven months ago, I decided not to drink any more alcohol. I was at a New Year\u2019s Eve party, and I saw a bunch of stuff that I didn\u2019t condone or like. I saw myself in this environment and I went, \u2018You know what? I don\u2019t know how I got here, but I\u2019m done,'” Hogan said.<\/p>\n

“I was around people who believed and behaved differently from me and I just said, \u2018I\u2019m out,'” he went on, noting he now feels “clear-headed” and is “no longer tempted to drink.”<\/p>\n

Hogan credits cannabidiol, more widely known as CBD, for helping him reach a turning point in his pain management. Hogan said former wrestling star Ric Flair, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and others introduced him to the possible benefits of CBD.<\/p>\n

“At first, I was confused, because I\u2019d never used CBD. I didn\u2019t understand the health aspects of what it can do for you as far as energy, sleep or getting off hard drugs or pharmaceuticals slowly and winding down are concerned,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hogan noted that CBD “took me to a place where my joints don\u2019t hurt so much when I wake up. \u2026 I can tell as soon as the CBD hits my system, it calms everything down. \u2026 I noticed an immediate change as soon as I started it.”<\/p>\n

Hogan has lost around 40 pounds this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
