Hulk Hogan finds out he's getting divorced - from a reporter!

Poor Hulk.

Linda filed for divorce on Tuesday and he didn't find out until a reporter talked to him 3 days later. Maybe it's just me, but if you file for divorce, the polite thing to do is advise the other party.

Reached by phone on Friday night, Terry Bollea said he had no idea his wife had filed for divorce. When informed during the call that the paperwork was submitted on Tuesday, Bollea said politely, "Thank you for the great information," and hung up.

He called back about five minutes later.

"I'm kind of shocked," he said. "You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. ... I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here."

What a horrible way to find out you're getting divorced!

I don't know, to me it looked like she just liked spending his money.

When your wife left and is across the country for 3 weeks, I'd assume it's pretty safe to say your probobly getting a divorce, don't you think?

I don't know i have not got married yet so i couldn't say but like when the neighbour wanted to get rid of the dogs and stuff it looked like they were an unstoppable strong team. Oh well guess you never really know what goes on in each others heads.

I could see the problems with their marriage on that show. Hulk is so bossy, and it always seemed to me like the ladies in the family get a lot less respect than the men. Now I am not an uber-femnazi or anything, but he was extremily undair to his daughter and basically cut his wife off everytime she tried to give an opinion. She was hiding things from him because she knew he would fly off the handle if he knew.

In regards to "Linda spending Hulks money" I don't think it was like that. They had traditional values and she was a housewife. Nothing wrong with that. From what it looked like, she was way less extravagant than many celebrity wives we constantly see.

For most of Brooke and Nick's life, Hulk was on the road and not there. Linda raised them nearly by herself. That is respectable on her part in my book.

.

have you seen the new 'compound' in miami?
that woman wants for nothing...
it very much is hulks scratch. it was theirs, till she filed.

she is gonna take him to the cleaners too cause he is mega rich.

it's not her knees that are all jacked up to the point that he can't get out of a chair without pain....

you know she is gonna want to continue living the lifestyle she is used to. what with her 7 dogs, exotic bird(s), exotic car(s)..
lets juse say the best of everything....

you are right that it is respectable that she raised the kids....
that don't mean she earned half his bank roll.

good times and bad
rich or poor
sick or healthy

her going for doggy yoga classes and doggy shrinks coming to the 'compound' cause the dogs are stressed?

please....hulk should stroke her a check for a few mill and be done.

From what I understand it was both of them that have decided to move to Miami to help Brooke's career, not just hers, and I have a feeling that buying the big compound had just as much to do with Hulk and the kids as it had to do with her.

Why is there always such disrespect for the stay at home mom? Just because she isn't the one bringing in the money from an outside source suddenly means that she isn't pulling her weight? Keeping up a house is just as challenging as holding an outside job.

I agree that she doesn't deserve half of everything he has, especially now that her babies are basically grown. However I feel that she deserves a fair share.

I only caught their show occasionally, so I don't have much of an idea of what their relationship was like. The only thing I noticed about them is Nick could do anything he wanted and Hulk seemed pretty demanding - almost like having another kid.

I'm sure they must have been under a lot of stress lately with Nick's recent problems.

i don't think it's disrespect. for me at least, i don't like the idea of when a couple gets divorced that the woman can take the guy to the cleaners...it happens and i don't agree.

normally i would agree that keeping the house is just as challenging as an outside job, but not in this case...

while i don't know for sure, i think it would b ea pretty safe bet to say that linda has/had some sort of maid service to help with the cleaning...
also in this instance, take a look at them.
she is all dolled up with the high end everything, nails, hair, etc etc and meanwhile hulk has a hard time walking around and getting up cause his knees are blown.
hulk was on the road 300+ days per year for years man....
linda should absolutely get a chunk of money but these outrageous settlements i think need to stop.


so you have(presumed by me) a maid of sorts cleaning house. the kids are at school. hulk is on the road.
what is a lady with unlimited funds to do?

she could have went out and got a job when the kids were of age that they were in school.
she didn't for whatever reasons...maybe hulk didn't want his wife working....i still don't see why she should get millions(which she will) in monies and property/items.

I have a lot of doubt that he was totally in the dark.

That only happens in movies! :shk: He knew.....

He did know, they were having problems even on their show. Unless this is all for show.

Isn't it funny how they have been together for so long, and then all of a sudden they get a reality show and are in the public eye, and thats when their relationship goes sour?

I, like a lot of others my age group, grew up being a Hulk Hogan megafan.


However, in recent years I have found myself reading certain Autobiographies of wrestlers, young and old, and even though they ALL seem to have different views of the business, 99% of them agree on 1 thing and that is that the REAL Hulk Hogan is a pr*ck.

After I actually sat down for a day and read the HH autobiography, I must say that I now agree.


In his book, he took credit for EVERYTHING that wrestling has been since he started. His whole book was nothing but ME ME ME and how great he is.

Seeing as how the others portrayed him in their books, I must say that they got his real personality spot on.


It's a shame really.



Though, I get the vibe from his wife that she is the EXACT same way.




It also shows very very much in their children.

I was never a big Hulk fan, I didn't like the character. I started being a wrestling fan with the less showy Stampede Wrestling and Hulk was just too much of a grandstander for my tastes.

Something I've been wondering is how does this effect the pending civil suit from the parents of that kid who Nick smooshed up in accident? Is the divorce a way to protect some of their assets?



Stupid spelling mistakes!

What he said

...and furthermore... i am getting sick of these reporters/journalist. They always screw things up, they are for the most parts idiots, and only care for themselves.

This story brought to mind the worst thing i saw a reporter do.

Looky here

It was from the OU- Boise St game last bowl season where Boise knocked off OU in overtime in perhapes the most membrale football game i have ever seen.

Then this idiot reporter blows the surprise when the star RB was about to propose to his g/f who was a cheerleader.

Iff you dont apreciate these football moments, fast foreward to 2:18 into the video and see where this 'reporter' makes an a$$ of himself. Just look at her face when the reporter tells her that her boyfriend is going to propose to her in about 5 secs. If i was the RB, i would have knocked him right in the face for doing that.

Hulk smash! :bnghd:

I guess that means no more Hogan Knows Best.
