Pour One Out for The Hulk

Either former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan (a.k.a. Terry Bollea) was some kind of Peggy Siegal in a former life, or the empathy we feel for him is totally justified. Today, Page Six reported that the mustachioed muscleman is “devastated” by the pending divorce from his wife of 24 years, Linda Bollea. Fair enough—divorce is pretty awful stuff, especially when two children are caught in the mix.

But apparently Ms. Bollea is no saint; a source close to the couple said that the blonde bombshell wanted to play Monopoly with Hulk’s dough, mistakenly thinking her hubby had “Tom Cruise money” and could afford the $12 million house she wanted to buy—against her children’s wishes—in L.A. She must not have been very pleased about having to settle for a $35,000-a-month rental, because her divorce filing soon followed. (The family already owns a 17,000-square-foot spread and another, smaller waterfront manse.) To boot, Ms. Bollea likes to “party,” the source said, though for anyone who’s seen the family’s VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best, this news should come as little surprise.

Today, Mr. Bollea released a statement:

"Please respect my family's privacy at this time with all that we have been through. I care for my wife and my children are my world and I just hope this all works out."

Alright, it’s settled. Professional wrestling is definitely fake.

Hard to believe that this witch didn't benefit enough from all the years of injuries that Hulk took in order to support his family. He always thinks of his family first - he is very strict for a celebrity father, and he genuinely cares about all of them. You can tell it isn't his image he's worried about - it is the family exposure to celebrity and the temptations of the world. His son Nick made a mistake - one of many that all of us make in our lifetimes, and it is a shame that the other young man will need lifetime care because of it. I am sure Nick is very upset right now, but he will have eight months of prison to think about it and it will leave a definite impression on him.

Hulk has nothing to be sorry for - he is a great father.
Linda just doesn't have a limit to what she wants from life, and she is putting it all on him. GET A JOB, LADY!!

I just got home from Las Vegas where I saw Linda with another (or maybe the same 20-ish) guy. She walked into Aldo, butted to the front of the line, bought her stuff and walked out and was later sitting on the guys lap out in the breezeway. Kinda catty if you ask me.
