    Hulk Hogan's divorce case

    By Tamara el-Khoury | St. Petersburg Times

    8:16 AM CST, November 30, 2007

     

    In a counter-petition to his wife's divorce suit, Terry Bollea, widely known as wrestler Hulk Hogan, said his wife can support herself.

     

    In the court filing, Terry Bollea, 54, contested everything from his wife's alimony and custody claims to the couple's marriage date. Linda Bollea's petition lists it as Dec. 12, 1983, while Terry Bollea says it was Dec. 18.

     

    Terry Bollea had it right: Public records show they were married Dec. 18, 1983.

     

    According to court documents, Terry and Linda Bollea separated about a month after their son Nick's Aug. 26 car wreck, which critically injured his friend and passenger, John Graziano.

     

    Terry Bollea's attorney, Ann Loughridge Kerr in Clearwater, declined to comment. Linda Bollea's attorney, Elliot Jay Goldstein of Largo, did not return a telephone call Thursday.

     

    Linda Bollea, 48, is seeking an unspecified amount of alimony and child support. She also wants custody of their son, subject to "liberal visitation" with his father.

     

    But in his counter-claim, Terry Bollea said his wife is capable of supporting herself and helping support their son, 17, who will be a minor until July.

     

    The petition also says Nick Bollea is old enough to decide with whom he will live and that "it would be in the best interest for the parties to have shared parental responsibility."

     

    Terry Bollea said the couple's assets and liabilities should be divided between them.

     

    Their assets include the nearly 17,000-square-foot mansion on Willadel Drive in Belleair where the family lives and a 3,474-square-foot home on Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach.

     

    Together, the properties are assessed for tax purposes at a total of $7.953-million.

     

    Terry Bollea's petition also mentions "numerous liabilities, contingent liabilities, obligations and debts which must be resolved as part of any equitable distribution that may be accomplished by the court."

     

    It has been a difficult year for the Bolleas, who starred in a VH-1 reality television show called Hogan Knows Best. Nick Bollea is facing a felony charge of reckless driving with serious bodily injury. Police said Bollea was racing his Toyota Supra just before the crash that left Graziano with a serious brain injury.

     

    One doctor said Graziano, who was recently transferred to the James A. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa, will likely need lifelong care.

     

    Interviews with Graziano's mother, Debra Graziano, and his younger brother, Michael Graziano, were released Thursday as part of the court file in Nick Bollea's criminal case.

     

    Both said that immediately after the accident, Nick Bollea told them the wreck was caused when he hit a puddle and hydroplaned.

     

    But a Clearwater police investigation showed that scenario was unlikely.

     

    Investigators sprayed hundreds of gallons of water on Court Street where the crash occurred. They said the water quickly ran to the curb.

     

    "Neither of us saw any standing water that could result in a hydroplane situation," wrote Officer David Nugent. Kevin Hayslett, Nick Bollea's attorney, disputed the finding. He said that standing water caused by rain before the accident "was a contributing if not the proximate cause of this accident."

     

    Debra Graziano also told police Terry Bollea was upset because his son and his three friends left the Bollea house in Belleair without him because they tired of waiting for him to finish taking a long shower.

     

    She said. Terry Bollea told her he wouldn't have let the group take the Supra.

     

    "1/8H3/8e assumed that they were taking the car that they would normally take, which I don't know if it's a big truck, or a Hummer," Debra Graziano said. "Something big and sturdy, I remember it was."

  2. Oh it gets better. This says that Hulk got the beer for Nick and his friends.

     

    http://www.sptimes.com/2007/11/28/Northpin..._put_at_1.shtml

     

    CLEARWATER -- Nick Bollea and a friend were driving their cars around 100 mph moments before the Aug. 26 crash that left a passenger critically injured, according to Clearwater police documents released Tuesday.

     

    Included in the 130 pages of documents was an interview with Barrett Lawrance, a close friend of Bollea's and the passenger in a silver Dodge Viper. Witnesses said the Viper was racing against the Toyota Supra driven by Bollea, son of celebrity wrestler Hulk Hogan.

     

    Lawrance told police the Viper, driven by his friend Daniel Jacobs, was traveling around 100 mph at the time of the accident. The speed limit on Court Street where the car crashed is 40 mph.

     

    Asked if Jacobs and Bollea were driving recklessly, Lawrance said: "This is how they always drive."

     

    Nick Bollea's friend and passenger, John Graziano, remains hospitalized with serious head injuries. Doctors have said Graziano is likely to need lifelong care. Bollea, 17, has been charged with reckless driving with serious bodily injury.

     

    Linda Berry-Robinson, the mother of Graziano's girlfriend, told police she overheard Jacobs telling a pastor at Bayfront Medical Center that he was driving the Viper at more than 100 mph, according to the documents.

     

    Bollea's attorney, Morris "Sandy" Weinberg, said he had not yet seen the documents. But he said his client was not driving 100 mph.

     

    "The scientific evidence doesn't support anything like that," Weinberg said.

     

    Much of the information included in the highly detailed narrative has already been reported, including statements from witnesses who recalled seeing the Viper and the Supra racing before the crash.

     

    New information includes:

     

    A receipt from Albertson's Liquor Store at 2:14 p.m. on the day of the accident for $78 of beer and ice. A clerk, June Hoopingarer, said Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, bought the beer and was accompanied by his son and several other young men.

    Jacobs told police that he and Nick Bollea often "get on it," which means they drive fast between traffic lights. He also said he is employed by Bollea's mother, Linda Bollea, as her business manager.

    Jacobs didn't consent to having his blood drawn by police because he was afraid the test results would show marijuana in his system.

    Bollea's attorney, Kevin Hayslett, was at the hospital after the crash. Hayslett said his client refused to voluntarily submit to having his blood drawn, but it was taken.

    At the hospital, Bollea told police he was traveling 30 or 40 mph. He also told police he didn't know what road he was traveling on or what direction. His speech was "mumbled and soft" and his eyes bloodshot, according to Todd Turpack, a Clearwater police investigator who wrote the original report.

    Jacobs drove to the Bollea home to tell Hogan about the wreck, according to a supplemental report. Hogan arrived at the scene about 10 to 15 minutes after the crash in a black Mercedes.

    The report says Bollea and his friends spent the day of the accident on a boat with Hogan. Bollea's friends, who are all at least 21 years old, were drinking beer. No one reported seeing Bollea drinking alcohol, although it was found in his system after the crash.

     

    Jeremy T. Whitson, who is in charge of security of Shepard's Beach Resort, told police Bollea and about seven other people got off a boat and tried to enter the tiki bar between 5 and 6 p.m. the day of the accident. He said Hogan stayed on the boat. All the people who got off the boat were clutching beer bottles except Bollea, who held a plastic cup. They were not allowed entry, according to Whitson, because they didn't have identification that showed they were 21 or older.

     

    The documents also give new information on the 1998 Supra, which is registered to Hogan.

     

    Police tracked down the owner of the company that modified the car in 2004. The now-defunct company was called Ride Revolution of Johnson City, Tenn.

     

    As compensation to Hogan for appearing at the company's grand opening, Ride Revolution added parts and made modifications to the Supra so that it had 544 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. A base-level Toyota Supra has 220 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the 2009 Toyota Corolla produces 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque.

     

    Also Tuesday, 911 calls to Clearwater police dispatchers were released.

     

    A woman said she was on her way home from work at Morton Plant Hospital when the Supra and the Viper pulled up on either side of her at an intersection. The drivers "kind of acknowledged each other," she said.

     

    "The light turned green, and they hauled serious a--; they were weaving around," she said. "The silver car smoked the yellow car, and the yellow car completely lost control and flipped over and turned and twisted."

     

    The witness said she stayed back because she didn't want to get between the cars.

     

    "I couldn't have anyway," she said. "They were flying."

    DIVORCE CLAIM SHATTERS HULK

     

    November 27, 2007 -- HULK Hogan is said to be "devastated" his wife, Linda, filed for divorce, and friends are shocked at the bleached blonde's "erratic" behavior. "Linda wanted to move to California," a spy said. "Hulk and the kids were happy in Florida. They've been fighting for quite a while, and a lot of it has to do with her out-of- control spending. She just goes nuts and acts like Hulk has Tom Cruise money - when he doesn't. She wanted to buy a $12 million house in LA, and when Hulk refused, she went ahead and rented a $35,000-a-month house. They already have four to five houses and she wants more?" Linda also apparently likes to "party." Hogan's manager, Dar ren Prince, would only say, "I was with Linda and Hulk three weeks ago in Tampa [the day son Nick got arrested] and they seemed happy with the exception of what was going on with Nick." Six months ago, Page Six reported the two had sepa rated. The Hogans didn't spend Thanksgiving to gether, the source added.

     


  4. God created the Heavens, he created the Earth! He created all the Hulkamaniacs! Then, he created a set of 24-inch pythons, brother! Whatcha gonna do Linda... Watcha gonna do? When the 24 inch pythons and Hulkamania destroy you!

     

    Everyone should be rooting for Hulk in this. Do you really want her to get half his stuff and him have to Ric Flair it back into the WWE as a regular performer in order to maintain his lifestyle?

     

    Or worst you know Vince is going to want to write this in the storylines. I can see him hiring the entire Hogan family and having mixed tag matches headline the PPV's.


  5. Yeah he was part of Teddy Long's short lived stable of babyface jobbers that also included Jim Powers (I wonder how many people besides me remember his short stint there), Sgt. Craig Pittman and IIRC, Horshu.

     

     

    Alright ten points to whoever can name "Hard Work" Bobby Walker's finisher?

     

    Quittin Time. Because what it's called when you're done doing all that hard work. Yes I remember what it was called but, I forget what the move was.


  6. He was the guy who had his name shaved in the back of his head? I think this is old news. Either that or he got arrested again for sex trafficking again which is entirely possible.

     

     

    I was more partial to "Hardwork" Bobby Walker in terms of black WCW Saturday Night jobbers of the late 90s. He had a finisher! How many jobbers can say that?

     

    Also, wasn't Walker managed by Teddy Long for a brief time?


  7. Goldberg had just signed a 5-year extension in with WCW in 1999, so his AOL Time Warner deal originally wasn't supposed to expire until September 2004. He finally took a buyout in February 2003 which led to his WWE run.

     

    Really? I thought AOL/Warner had offered him what he was going to make overall in one lump sum to get it over with instead of the 10 cents on the dollar thing.


  8. Yes I know there is a Wii thread but, I really don't feel like reading all of it.

     

    So, I just got a Wii today as a late b-day present. So, what are some games I should pick up. I'm into platform/action games and racing games.

     

    I do plan on picking up Marvel Ult. Alliance and the Mario game that just came out.

     

    And is there any other hardware that I should get for it?

    Hulk Hogan's Son Arrested in Crash

    Nov. 7, 2007, 12:45 PM EST

    The Associated Press

     

    CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Wrestler Hulk Hogan's son turned himself in Wednesday on charges stemming from a street-racing crash this summer that critically injured a passenger in his car, police said.

     

    Nick Bollea, 17, was arrested on charges of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, Clearwater police spokeswoman Elizabeth Daly-Watts said. He arrived at the Pinellas County Jail handcuffed and accompanied by two police officers, The Tampa Tribune reported.

     

    "Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident," family spokesman Adam Handelsman said in a written statement.

     

    The statement also sought to discredit reports that Bollea caused the crash by driving fast, saying preliminary expert reports indicated that it was not a high-speed accident.

     

    Police said Bollea was racing his father's 1998 Toyota Supra against a Dodge Viper on Aug. 26 when the car Bollea was driving struck a curb, spun across two lanes of traffic and slammed rear-end first into a palm tree. His passenger, John Graziano, was critically injured.

     

    Graziano, 22, suffered a broken skull and has been comatose at Bayfront Medical Center, according to medical professionals who examined him and submitted reports on his condition to court.

     

    In addition to the reckless driving charge, authorities cited Bollea for using a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, being a driver under 21 while operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 percent or higher and having illegal window tinting.

     

    The blood-alcohol level at which Florida law presumes a driver to be impaired is .08 percent.

     

    "Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena a court of law," attorneys Sandy Weinberg Jr. and Kevin Hayslett said a statement released on their client's behalf.

     

    The Viper's driver, 22-year-old Daniel Jacobs, did not directly cause the crash but was summoned to court for a reckless driving charge.

     

    Hulk Hogan picked up his son from the jail after a brief news conference.

    This is a link that was on wo, its a trailer to the Andre movie. The movie looks horrible, as the guy playing Andre is just tall and does not really look pysichally scary. The other suff in the trailer looks bush league. I hope I'm wrong and that the movie is great because Andre has always been one of my faviorites. What do you guys think?? Any stories or thoughts of Andre anyone would like to share..

     

    I remember the WWE 24/7 Legends Roundtable episode where they talked about Iron Sheik and Andre (Easily the most entertaining of those episodes). The funniest Andre story was the one Dusty told where they were in a bordello in New Orleans, the power went out, Dusty felt something wet on his leg, thought it was rain, heard Andre laughing, and then realized he had Giant piss on his leg. Dusty's line "Andre the Giant peed on the American Dream in a bordello in New Orleans" was absolutely hilarious.

     

    Bobby Heenan's book also has some funny Andre stories.

     

    I don't know what's more messed up. Andre pissing on someone or Dusty AND Andre in a bordello.

     


  11. Do you have to win the match for it to be considered memorable? Because that 30-minute Iron Man that Rude had with Steamboat was pretty good.

     

    I liked alot of Rude's WCW work. His WWF stint doesn't really stand out to me outside of the match with Warrior.

     

    Rude was probably the best example of WCW taking a WWF guy and making him bigger than he already was.

     

    Exactly. That time period when the Dangerous Alliance was fighting Sting, Steamboat, etc is one of my favorite periods in WCW.


  12. Looking at this HHH-HBK duo once again, is someone going to turn on the other again? HHH pedigrees HBK? HBK superkicks HHH?

     

    I think the best scenerio would be they team up and Montreal Orton at Survivor Series. If they really want to go back in time, why not? Then HBK can defend the title at Armaggedon vs. Ken Shamrock, and HHH can battle Slaughter in a boot camp match.

     

    Well if that's the case they might as well bring back Chyna to.

     

    Forgot about her, and as for Rude, we may have problems there.

     

    If USA is on this time portal trip, we might as well get a HHH vs. HBK title match, similar to that classic for the European title 10 years ago.

     

    Hey here's an idea lets have Harry play the part of his dad and dedicate a match to his dad before HBK and HHH beat the crap out of him and embrass him.

     

    If they hadn't fired Teddy Hart he could play the role of Bret at SerSur and leave and then dye his hair blonde and play the part of Owen and then he falls from the rafters and dies.

     

    And they can jump Nattie, spraypaint NWO on her back and send her packing.


  13. Looking at this HHH-HBK duo once again, is someone going to turn on the other again? HHH pedigrees HBK? HBK superkicks HHH?

     

    I think the best scenerio would be they team up and Montreal Orton at Survivor Series. If they really want to go back in time, why not? Then HBK can defend the title at Armaggedon vs. Ken Shamrock, and HHH can battle Slaughter in a boot camp match.

     

    Well if that's the case they might as well bring back Chyna to.


  14. One other one I just thought of...when the Four Horsemen were first taking off, the Andersons claimed Ric Flair was a distant family cousin of theirs, but I think that was pretty much forgotten once the group was up and running. Of course, in kayfabe terms, you could think the Andersons were just lying to justify themselves helping Flair to begin with.

     

    It was talked about later in the mid to late 90s I remember Tony talking about Flair being a cousin to Arn right around the time they started to feud.


  15. I think Sting's starpower has been hurt a lot by the massive amounts of time off he's taken over the past decade. In WCW from 1998 until it closed, Sting did the same thing as Hogan and the other top guys with randomly disappearing for weeks if not months at a time. Then he was the only top WCW guy who never once worked for Vince. He basically sat at home for years, worked a couple times for TNA during their weekly PPV days and then vanished again. He's spent more time away from the business than in it for several years now. Obviously he's not a draw, because TNA doesn't draw jack shit (although you could say the same thing about every other worker on the roster). Plus he's almost 50 years old now, there just can't be much gas left in the tank. Supposedly Sting doesn't mind putting the young talent over, but I'll be damned if I can remember any concrete examples of him doing so. And no, him jobbing the title to Abyss on a DQ doesn't count.

     

    Well Sting did want to have Abyss win the belt by pinning him but, the bookers wanted the DQ finish.


  16. I thought the best acting in that episode was actually from James Avery (Uncle Phil). Dramatically, he was by far the strongest of the main cast (outside of Will occasionally).

     

    I think it would be a tie between James Avery and Janet Hubert-Whitten (the first Vivian Banks). Janet did a great job playing Vivian as a strong, pround, smart black woman and Avery and Hubert had great chemistry together.

     

    Then they had to replace her with Daphne Reid (who I thought was white when she first showed up) and Vivian acted like a stock housewife and background character and her and Avery had hardly any chemistry together.


  17. Does this season of KOTH take place in some alternate timeline? Last season's wedding episode for Luanne and Lucky seemed like a series ender with old characters making a cameo appearance at the wedding, but now we have a new season where Luanne's husband is never seen or mentioned (ditto for her pregnancy).

     

    It was suppose to be the series finale until KOTH got picked up for another season at the last minute.
