Wrestling fans! Hulk Hogan experiencing dental problems

And it isn't pretty. The wrestling legend and former Heavyweight Champion of the world underwent surgery this week because his dentist left a tack in his mouth when Hogan underwent an implant procedure last October. The pain in his mouth became so bad Hogan finally had a CAT scan, which revealed the tack. I won't even go into the stitches here. You can read about that in the article.

Also, here's an interesting blog from a pro wrestling fan about the end of Hogan's career and the wrestling hero as he knew him. The author puts a different spin on Hogan's dental problems. "The news that Hulk Hogan needs oral surgery to keep his implants in place is just a gentle reminder that our king is dead," the blogger writes. The article is full of great descriptions of Hogan's career in his heyday. http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ycn-10823575

Of course I beg to differ that dental implants signal the end of anything. Implants usually signal a healthier and more attractive mouth. And suffice it to say most dentists don't leave tacks in their patients' mouths, or rip their stitches. I assume the wrestler will sue his dentist, though no mention of that was made in the articles I read.
