In an emotional interview with The TODAY Show’s Meredith Vieira on Tuesday, legendary professional wrestler Hulk Hogan talks about how a nasty divorce and his son’s accident brought him to the brink of suicide — and how a single conversation with his American Gladiators co-star Laila Ali brought him back.
Hulk weaves a life story filled with cheating, steroids, and chronic body aches on the pages of his explosive new memoir, My Life Outside the Ring.
“I’m ready to open up about everything in my life. And there’s plenty to tell! So I promise to be as open and honest in these pages as I possibly can —occasionally about some heavy stuff that I’m sure you never expected to hear from the Hulkster. I don’t know, maybe you’ll laugh at me. Or maybe you’ll see a little bit of yourself in me. Either way, if you want to read this book for the sheer entertainment value of it, that’s fine by me, too. Let’s face it, brother: My life’s been one hell of a trip, and I’m more than happy to take you along for the ride.”

Linda Hogan Responds To Hulks OJ Simpson Empathizing Interview
Posted on 16. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Linda Hogan is responding to comments her estranged husband, former wrestling star Hulk Hogan, made in an article with Rolling Stone this week.
In the interview, on newsstands Friday, Hulk is quoted as saying, “I could’ve turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody’s throat. You see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, sleeping in your bed, with your wife. I mean, I totally understand O.J.”
The former family man later released a statement insisting his comments were taken out of context.
“Hulk’s serial cheating destroyed our marriage, our family and our future. Sadly, his recent comments remind us that his definition of fair is much different than what the law dictates,” Linda said in response to the controversy Wednesday evening.
A rep for Linda says that the family is “taking these recent comments seriously,” adding that the mother of two is using Hulk’s recent comments as futher evidence that the wrestling legend truly is the psycho she always believed he was.
“We have always maintained that the fear that Linda has had to live with comes from the rage and instability much too often associated with pro wrestlers.”

Hulk Hogan Starts Damage Control On OJ Simpson Statement
Posted on 15. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Hulk Hogan wants to clarify controversial remarks he made in this week’s edition of Rolling Stone, on newsstands Friday, April 17.
While discussing his bitter divorce from wife of 24 years Linda, the wrestling legend told Stone reporters that he could have turned Linda’s life into a “crime scene,” adding “I totally understand O.J.”
Hogan now says his statements were taken out of context.
“Hulk in no way condones the OJ situation. As part of a larger conversation, he referred to it to exemplify his frustration with his own situation,” the athlete’s rep said a statment to the press this afternoon.
Um….we’re not sure that helps, Hulk.

Hulk Hogan Understands Why OJ Killed His Wife.
Posted on 15. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
After 24 years of marriage, a reality show, and a wrestling career, Hulk Hogan and wife Linda called it quits in 2008. Both subsequently began dating much younger people.
After Hulk was tossed out of his $18 million Central Florida mansion and having his estranged wife blow through nearly $400,000 a month as they hash out the details of their split in a bitter divorce battle, Hulk says he now understands why some men go postal and snap their wives’ necks.
“I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat,” Hulk fumed this week in an interview withRolling Stone. “You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it.”
Wow..Wow.. WOW!!! I didn’t think the Hogans could slip any further from the level of disgust I currently feel for the entire family- but now Hulks gone and put it on a whole new playing field. To say such statements publicly about the mother of your children is disgraceful to say the least! I don’t condone violence of any nature and I especially don’t condone people talking about hypothetical violent acts! So disturbing!
I bet Hulks been studying OJ’s ‘If I Did It’..
Hey Linda….you might want to petition the court for an order of protection.

Hulk Hogan Tell-All Book
Posted on 22. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Just in case you didn’t have a big enough window into The Wonderful World of the Hogan’s on their VH1 reality series, wrestling legend Terry Bollea, perhaps best known as Hulk Hogan, has inked a six-figure deal with St. Martin’s Press to pen an account of his life.
According to veteran celebrity snitch Cindy Adams, the 320 page memoir–with a 16-page color photo insert–will cover The Hulk’s humble beginnings as a boy growing up in Tampa, his two-decade marriage to Lina Bollea, and of course, his career as a 12-time World Heavyweight Champ and six-time World Wrestling Federation Champ.
Perhaps most notably, Hulk will discuss his son Nick’s near-fatal car crash that left a young Marine brain-dead. The Hogan’s conduct in the wake of the crash left the family open to public scorn.
Here’s an excerpt from page 52 of the memoir:
“I grasped the side of the car with my hands when I finally saw Nick my only son folded up like an accordion with his head down by the gas pedal. I could see he was alive . . . for a second I was relieved. Then the chaos set in. The noise of engines and sirens. A saw. Paramedics pulling his friend John from the seat. So much blood. I can’t describe how panicked I was. The police and firefighters surrounding us seemed panicked, too. The firefighters started cutting the side of the car open. I’m still standing there when I hear my boy screaming, ‘No, no, no, stop! Stop! You’re gonna cut my legs off. Dad! Just unbuckle the seat belt . . . !’ So I reach in and I push the button on his seat belt, and Nick crawls out.”
“But not John. John wasn’t moving.”
Hulk Hogan’s autobiography goes on sale Oct. 27.
My only guess is that with the release of his tell-all, the never to be out done Linda Hogan’s won’t be far behind!!

Linda Hogan Using Death Threat Against Victims Mom As Her PR Oppurtunity
Posted on 01. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
J
ohn Graziano was left in a permanent vegetative state with literally part of his skull missing after Hulk and Linda Hogan’s son, Nick, got in a car accident in August, 2007 when drunk and drag racing on a public street. Instead of expressing their remorse that their son so carelessly endangered his passenger’s life and left him irreparably damaged, Nick and Linda issued a statement that John wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. The Hogan family continued to talk smack about the victim afterwards, calling him a negative person and making obnoxious statements that the accident was God’s will.
Nick spent a measley 166 days in jail after pleading guilty to reckless driving, which many, including myself- thought it was not enough. He’s out now and the first thing he did was head to Vegas to celebrate.
Victim John Graziano’s father is now under police custody after cops caught him in a sting trying to hire someone to kill his wife, John’s mom. The idiot paid an undercover cop $2,100 plus a $13 pizza gift card to kill his wife in a car accident. Yup, he went ahead and chipped in a pizza gift card to up the anty!
Today, I received an e-mail from Linda Hogan’s PR person informing me about this, with a completely unnecessary statement from Linda. She also used it as an opportunity to slam the family. According to a local newspaper, Linda is also claiming that she was threatened by this guy, which police of course can’t confirm:
Linda’s statement, e-mailed to me:
“Any threat from Ed Graziano would and is being taken very seriously. We all prey [sic] for John’s recovery. This kind of behavior is why John turned to us as a loving family and we made him one of our own. God Bless John.” Linda Bollea
News report, in which Linda claims she’s being threatened too:
Clearwater, Florida — Ed Graziano is behind bars accused of trying to hire someone to kill his wife. But Linda Bollea apparently believes Graziano wanted to hurt her too.
Bollea’s publicist tells 10 Connects “people around the case” have told Hulk Hogan’s estranged wife Graziano also made threats aimed at Bollea. After hearing about the possible threats Bollea’s publicist described her as “scared to death.”
Bollea issued a statement Thursday night saying “Any threat from Ed Graziano would and is being taken very seriously.”
A spokesperson for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office could not confirm the alleged threats aimed at Bollea, but they did detail Graziano’s apparent attempt to kill his wife.
Authorities say Graziano paid $1,100 in cash, a $1,000 personal check and a $13.06 Westshore Pizza gift card to have his wife murdered. According to detectives, Graziano wanted his wife killed in a car accident.
A tipster told officials about Ed Graziano’s plan and an under-cover detective posed as a “go-between” to a “hit-man” as they investigated the case. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office learned about the plot in December and also notified Debra Graziano as a precaution.
Thursday, Ed Graziano was arrested at his home in Palm Harbor and later booked into the Pinellas County jail. He’s expected to make his first court appearance on Friday.
On August 26th, 2007 Ed and Debra Graziano’s son John was seriously injured in a car crash with Hogan’s son Nick Bollea.
STFU Linda Hogan! Your son and your family caused this family enough pain and suffering with your careless actions and words. Now that they’re going through more problems, you want to rub it in!
Linda never should have issued a statement about something that didn’t concern her. Now she’s only made this story get national attention and brought more shame on that family. What a nasty piece of work that woman is.

Posted on 26. Nov, 2008 by CSS.

Hulk Hogan Takes Son Nick Hogan To Las Vegas To Take In A Car Show & Celebrate His Release From Jail.
Posted on 05. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
Nick Hogan recently spent 166 days behind bars after pleading no contest to charges of reckless driving in an accident that left his close friend, John Graziano, critically injured. But clearly young Hogan is making up for lost time. Pop Tarts spies spotted the reality tv stars [including Nick’s dad Hulk Hogan] checking into Sin City’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (they’re booked until Friday) and are poised to make an appearance at SEMA, an automotive trade show.
But according to an insider, the “Hogan Knows Best” father has gone to extra lengths to make sure his son stays out of trouble by having staff book Nick a standard room right beside his VIP executive suite. There is even a mysterious man (believed to be a parole officer) lurking around them at all times.
“Hulk made a big point of saying that this was a relaxing getaway and that Nick will be taking it easy and won’t be partying,” said our source. (Well, we certainly hope by now that Nick has learned the lesson that being underage and alcohol isn’t a good combination.)
But Nick isn’t allowing his post-pokey profile to shield him away from the limelight as he reportedly pranced around the hotel happily posing for pictures, signing autographs for fans and flirting with the hot young ladies that came his way.
-From Fox News-Pop Tarts
In addition to the atrocity of taking his drag racing, fast car obsessed son on a nice little post prison vacation, Hulk was also stupid enough to repeat what he said on Larry King Live, noting, “There are no accidents, God has a plan that unfolds just as he wants it,” when asked about John Graziano. What a lovely way to reassure yourself that your son isn’t an asshole and you’re not a terrible person.
The thought of Nick Hogan having a good time anywhere but a prison shower is horrifying. Clearly his parents will just continue to coddle him and remain as stupid as ever.I mean seriously who goes to Vegas to relax?!?! Certainly not celebrities, that’s just moronic to think that we would even buy that. Is this how you celebrate “vegetating” someone?
Nick Hogan makes me sick.. I have a serious physical reaction when I hear his name or see stories such as this… Good work Hogans, keep it up!
