This may come as a shock, but apparently Hulk Hogan isn’t most famous for his intelligent thought-processes.
And that’s not the only shock. Apparently spending your entire career feigning deafness, ripping a series of deliberately flimsy T-shirts in half and calling everyone ‘Hulkamaniac’ regardless of level of mania might – just might – make you say the occasional ill-advised thing. Like, ooh, that if OJ Simpson killed his wife then you can totally sympathise with him because your ex-wife can be a bit of a bitch sometimes too.
Yes. Hulk Hogan said that. To Rolling Stone magazine. On purpose, presumably. Nice chap.
Things haven’t been going so well for Hulk Hogan lately. His son went to prison for driving so ridiculously that his friend will need permanent care for the rest of his life, his wife has left him for a man less than half his age and his daughter looks like a cross between Paris Hilton and an infected shrapnel wound. What’s more, Hulk Hogan’s arms don’t even look like sausages any more. Well, they do, but they’re the ropey-looking European sausages you buy at Lidl. If anything that’s worse.
So, yes, Hulk Hogan is in a bind. So what’s a man to do? Well, he could always tell a popular magazine that he often fantasises about returning to his family home and murdering everyone in the most bloodthirsty way imaginable, just like OJ Simpson was acquitted of doing all those years ago. We’re being serious here. Hulk Hogan told Rolling Stone:
?I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody?s throat. 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 O.J. I get it.?
Even ignoring the fact that professional wrestlers by nature have a worrying habit of going berserk and murdering their families, this is still a monumentally regrettable thing for Hulk Hogan to say. In fact, it might be the most regrettable thing any wrestler has ever done, right up there alongside Mr Nanny and… wait, no, Mr Nanny is the all-time pinnacle of regrettable wrestler decisions and will be forever. Anyway, at least this has given Hulk Hogan’s reps something to choke on their tea and get into a flap over. One of them told Access Hollywood:
?Hulk in no way condones the O.J. situation. As part of a lager conversation, he referred to it to exemplify his frustration with his own situation.?
So that’s that all sorted out then. There’s not going to be a new reality TV show called Hogan Homicide or The Voices In Hogan’s Head Know Best. As ridiculously moronic as Hulk Hogan’s comments were, we all know deep down that he’d never try to kill his wife. Because, seriously, have you seen his wife? She looks like a Terminator crossed with a bulldog, for crying out loud. Hulk’s probably as terrified of her as we are.

While your last comment about Linda was funny come on dont be so hard on the guy. I was just listening to him on the radio and I kinda feel bad for him. This crazy ex of his is spending up his money so fast that he was asking for a job on the radio show he was interviewing on. He was on Bubba the Love Sponge, apparently they are good friends so it wasn’t like he was begging a stranger for a job. But damn she gets $40,00 a month in cash and he pays all the bills about $300,000 a month and somehow he’s even paying for this little 19 year old punks health insurance. The kid is yelling at those tourist boats that pull up behind the stars homes to get away from “his” property. Well what’s going to be funny is when Linda has spent up all money and there is no more money to fight over her little 19 year old will be gone. Also this story broke conveniently in time for her to say she is fearing for her life and cant go to a court date next week to hand her expense reports over to Hogan’s attorneys. She doesn’t want anyone to see what she is spending his money on. She also cant account for the thousand she is spending on drugs. Hogan did say that he admitted he gave the writer a bone by making the comment. I guess the guy spent like 3 days with Hogan and they talked about a lot of stuff. Hogan said that he can see why people snap like that. But he chose to take a different path in handling the situation with his divorce.

I think it’s really sad when commentary like this is made concerning someone else’s home life and relationship.
Do I agree with the comments that Hulk made? No. Do I understand where they came from, and why he made them yes.
The man has spent his life in a hard career. He finally semi retires from the wrestling world and goes home to his family life. What does he get? A spoiled brat of a wife who doesn’t want him around, just his money. If anyone should be ashamed and embarrassed with their behavior its Linda Hogan. Hopefully a judge will give Hulk a fair settlement when this whole thing finally comes to an end. Linda is spending all Hulk’s hard earned money. Sleeping with a child barely of legal age. She truly is an embarrassment to herself and her children. As for Brooke. lay off. Brooke isn’t responsible for what her parents do or dont do. She really is a good kid. Give her a break.

Rhonda is either a personal friend, a close relative, or a delusional fan who gets all her “information” from a crap-rag such as Us or People.
Horror says
This is how you feel when these things happen though, especially older alpha male guys. It’s in our nature to have aggressive, even murderous, thoughts when people wrong us in such personal, deceitful and hurtful ways. They pass, but you’re a liar if you say you never think like this.
The Hulkster should just leg drop the little punk.
