According to prowrestling.net, Hulk Hogan underwent back surgery last week.  This leaves his status for a possible match at WrestleMania XXV unlikely, but still possible.  Two weeks ago, Hogan said he spoke to Vince McMahon about appearing at WrestleMania, but was unable to reach an agreement.
While the type of Hogan's surgery is unknown, doctors generally require a six week recovery time.  Hogan was walking around a few hours following surgery, which is not uncommon, but it would be surprising if his doctor cleared him to work a match at WrestleMania just five weeks after surgery.
In my opinion, this news should put to rest the rumors about Hulk Hogan wrestling a match at WrestleMania.  At Hogan's age and considering his health status, I do not think he will be wrestling a match of any kind at WrestleMania XXV.
The only question now is who will Chris Jericho wrestle at 'Mania since Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin seem to no longer be possibilities at this time.
Let me know who you think will end up wrestling Chris Jericho at WrestleMania XXV.
Thanks for reading,
