Hogan Ready to Wed After Leaving Hospital

Hulk Hogan has announced plans to marry his girlfriend following his release from hospital on Thursday (09Sep10).

The celebrity wrestler has been battling "excruciating back pain" after injuring himself while picking seashells last weekend (04/05-Sep-10) and he checked into a medical center in Florida on Monday (06Sep10).

Upon his discharge, Hogan insisted his hospital stay had given him a new lease of life and he told reporters the news that he's ready to wed his fiancee, Jennifer.

He told Tmz.com, "Now that I've had a close encounter with the other side, I'm going to move this wedding up. I want to get married to Jennifer right away.

It's true. "I was so far on the other side with all that negative energy... I'm all the way back to the good side. (I want to get) married immediately".
