TMZ have reported that a flurry of police cars and emergency vehicles were parked outside the wrestling legend's home and he was 'carried on a stretcher into an ambulance'.

The legendary grappler had faced health issues in recent weeks after undergoing numerous surgeries. We reported earlier this week that he was "unable to speak" and was being monitored at home by medical staff after having a bad reaction to surgery.

Hogan, who was hospitalised last month, is said to have been transported home from hospital after an adverse reaction to cervical surgery.

His ex-manager and long-time friend, Jimmy Hart, has said that the WWE Hall of Famer, 71, was unable to talk.

On an episode of ex-pal Bubba The Love Sponge's YouTube channel, co-host Lummy claimed he was told by Hart: "Hogan's not doing well. He he can't speak. His trachea or whatever was damaged and he's having problems and it does not look good. It does not look at all."
