Jimmy Hart is good friends with Hulk Hogan and recently talked about his current health status as well as how their friendship began. The WWE Hall of Famer had good things to say.

Jimmy Hart recently spoke to the Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw podcast where he discussed a variety of topics. He explained how he became friends with Huk Hogan in WWE, back when it was called WWF.

“Well, I originally met him in Memphis. I didn’t know him that well. Then we met back in New York. He said, ‘I thought you were coming in to manage me.’ I said, ‘No. I’m coming in as a heel manager.’ I had King Kong Bundy, who I had in Memphis, and Jim Neidhart. Hulk and I didn’t travel a lot together because of the babyface/heel, but we bonded. I went to his house and did the little parties with him and helped set him up. Then we cut a wrestling album together, The Wrestling Boot Band.

“We always bonded doing stuff. Then he would take me along the trips that he would go on. He would say, ‘I want Jimmy Hart to be with me for this’, because he knew I didn’t drink, do drugs, or be around any of that stuff. With Hulk, we would always sit and talk about a certain thing. What do you think about whatever, and then try to make it better.”

Hulk Hogan had some big health issues recently. Jimmy Hart provided an update on the WWE legend.

“Well, he’s doing a lot better. Still, after 12 back surgeries, hips, and knees, he’s doing so much better. He’s been taking this therapy every week and it’s been really improving him more and more so he can get up and get about pretty good now. He still looks good. He always has the hair and has the tan. His upper body is unbelievable. He always looks the part. He can still do an interview at the drop of a hat. He knows what to say and when to say it. He is such a magnet. People love him no matter where we go. It’s crazy.”

It's good to hear that the WWE legend is doing well and still himself. Jimmy Hart will be provided updates on his friend as he gets better.
