Hulk Hogan, the 57-year-old wrestling icon, is recovering in a Florida hospital from a 10-hour back surgery on Tuesday, just a week after his wedding.

“Going for broke in six hrs.rollin all the marbles,I bet on me..I love all u maniacs! Se all u guys soon,” Hogan tweeted on Tuesday, Dec. 21.

The operation was set to repair spine injuries sustained in wrestling over the years, which had become worse in recent months, according to Toronto Sun.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, is a six-time World Wrestling Entertainment champion and a six-time World Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight champion.

He married Jennifer McDaniel on Dec. 14.
