TMZ reports that Hulk Hogan underwent successful back surgery on Wednesday, and is already out of the hospital. Hogan had 3-4 hours of surgery, where doctors removed bone spurs that had shaken loose in his back.

The Sun has a new audio interview up with Ric Flair, promoting the 2011 TNA tour of the UK. He discusses Bret Hart’s WWE return, returning to the ring, calling Vince and Shawn to see if they were ok with it, puts over AJ Styles, Kurt Angle and Beer Money, his son Reid signing with TNA and more. You can check that out here. Here are some highlights…

On Shawn Giving His Blessing: “If Shawn hadn’t given me his blessing, I probably wouldn’t have come back — I have that much respect for him. But I knew he would say ‘yes’.”

On Kurt Angle: “Kurt Angle is in a class by himself. He’s got that magic — charisma, a fabulous look, second-to-none credentials and he really loves the business.”

On His Career: “I don’t regret a minute of it, I really don’t. I’ve had a good time. And I wouldn’t have survived 38 years in this business if I didn’t have a good time!”
