- He admitted to using extremely high amounts of fentanyl, including 80-milligram patches, 300mg patches, and 1500mg lollipops, which astonished pharmacists who had never seen such usage.
- Hogan joined TNA primarily for financial reasons after his divorce but soon realized he was physically unable to perform at the required level, leading to his heavy reliance on opioids.
- The pain was so intense that Hogan had to sleep sitting in a chair, as even small movements caused severe back spasms and discomfort.
- This interview was Hogan’s final public statement before his unexpected death from a heart attack in July 2025.
