Divorce for Hulk Hogan

[Ambush]

I thought some people might be interested:

There's not really any good way to hear that your wife wants a divorce, but it's possible that former wrestler and current reality TV star Hulk Hogan found out in the worst way imaginable. Hogan was contacted by a reporter for The St. Petersburg Times on Friday and, when asked what his thoughts were about his wife, Linda Marie Bollea, filing for divorce Tuesday, Hogan was at a loss. The divorce filings were news to him. Shocked, Hogan thanked the reporter for the info, hung up and then called the reporter back five minutes later. The Hulkster, now 55 years old, has been starring in the popular reality series Hogan Knows Best with his family for the last couple years with his wife Linda. Reacting to the news, Hogan said, “You caught me off guard. Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me.”

I suppose it's fairly common that one member of a married couple files for divorce without telling the other, but to hear about it from a reporter (one from The St. Petersburg Times, for that matter) must be jarring. You've got to feel bad for Hulk. Hogan (whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea) was an iconic wrestler for over two decades, most notably as the number one WWF fighter of his era. Aside from Hogan Knows Best, the Hulkster is gearing up to host NBC's prime time reincarnation of American Gladiators, which premieres on the Peacock January 6. Hogan and his wife were seen contemplating a split in a recent episode of their reality series, but the two stayed together. It's not like this news is completely out of the blue.

I think it's safe to say that being filmed for days on end is not good for a family. The Osbournes have had run-ins with law, The Newlyweds broke up, and now the Hulkster is a single man. Hulk and Linda have been married for 24 years, and have two children: Brooke (19) and Nick (17). Hulk has recently been helping Nick with some legal troubles,stemming from a reckless driving arrest following an accident which critically injured Nick's passenger. More details about the divorce should come over time, but for now the Hogans are keeping details private.

take note,ladies. living in a world of violence not good. just remember that. and also I feel bad for him. getting divorced sucks. i didnt see it coming but she decided that some army jerk was better than me.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I've heard about this. Man, after 24 years they have to split up. That totally does suck for him, but we don't really know what caused this. I heard that maybe the whole issue with Nick was a factor.

Thanks for the jab, Joe, I see you've been busy


Anyway. That's awful to find out that way.

[Bigfoot]

I recently saw on TMZ, a street race between Linda and some other guy. She talks about how she gets a thrill from going fast, dodging cars, and ditching cops. I wonder where Nick gets his need for speed. Then on some morning show they busted her out, and she denied that she said it even though there was proof. lol at rich blonde dumba$$es

ps, I still feel bad for the Hulkster, But I am sure he still has groupies.

[Machias Banshee]

Jeez... does anyone else also notice how ALL couples who get into these reality shows ALWAYS end up getting divorced or something??

Poor Hulk... I've always liked him, since I was a kid seeing him on wrestling, day-glo orange and doing 'PastaMania'...

My brother's going through a divorce right now. All I can say is I hope Hulk gets a good lawyer....

[The Stryker]

Thats for Macho Man! ya jerk!

[Mars-Chan]

I would say something.....






...but a WISE rabbit once said: "If you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all...."

I heard that on the radio as well. They had audio of it. Don't you think that, as a parent, you'd set a better example for your kids? Granted, this took place before the accident, but it's still a poor example to set. I also feel bad for Hulk, but I'm sure he'll pull through this.

The bad thing is, Hulk didn't even know Linda filed for divorce until a reporter showed up at his door asking for his reaction to it. Also, the attorney representing the man who was riding with Nick on the day of the crash is claiming that the whole divorce proceedings are a ruse to deflect from the legal ramifications concerning the accident.

I just wonder exactly what made Linda finally decide (since this was apparently a long time coming, considering the marriage counseling) to file for divorce during her 3 week stay in L.A.?

Maybe the show was doing poorly and they needed better ratings.

I've read somewhere that VH1 only needed a handful of episodes to get the show into syndication, where it would prove to be more profitable in the long term ...

The Tampa Tribune newspaper is reporting that Linda Bollea is accusing her husband Hulk Hogan of "legal shenanigans" in a court filing this week. Linda claims that Hulk tried to get her to sign a post-nuptial agreement and says he is hiding $10 million from a 2007 real estate transaction from her.

Linda has asked a judge to freeze Hogan's assets, including any money from the real estate sale transaction in question, which is a residence in FL. Linda has asked for a temporary injunction in her emergency motion filing.

Linda claims that Hulk took her to Tampa attorney Les Barnett last summer with the understanding that Barnett would be helping them to do real estate planning. Instead, she says that Barnett and Hulk presented her with post-nuptial agreement to sign. She says she was duped and gave away confidential divorce information in the session and it led to her filing for divorce from the Hulkster.

She also admitted to removing $1.5 million from their joint bank accounts after noticing what she called "suspicious behavior" by her husband last year.

She also asserts that money that was taken out of their accounts had been placed into a limited liability corporation and the only person who can access the funds is ... Eric Bischoff.

It's the NWO!
