Former wrestler Hulk Hogan’s had a scare on his flight to Iceland when the plane he was traveling on ran into difficulties upon landing.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, posted a Facebook Live video stream on Tuesday recounting the incident.
“We are here in Iceland and there’s our plane that we just had a really hard landing on,” Hogan says, panning to the plane. “Blew out the tires and brakes have melted, and that thing’s not going anywhere.”

He added a buddy with the same type of plane had stepped in to transport him to his final destination, Saudi Arabia, for this year’s WWE Crown Jewel event. Hogan did not clarify whether the stop in Iceland was a planned part of his journey.
The video has nearly 70 shares and more than 52,000 views.
Hogan said he would keep his followers updated and let them know when he arrived at his destination (he has since arrived). Fans have flooded the comments wishing Hogan well.
Hogan lost his wrestling career after the release of a sex tape in which he was heard using the N-word. He sued Gawker for publishing portions of the tape online and won, bankrupting the website.
He returned to to the WWE late last year to host its Crown Jewel pay per view event in Saudi Arabia.
