News Summary

If you haven't noticed, Hulkamania is in a complete tizzy.

All around the Spandex land, chairs are being flung, shirts are being ripped and guitars owned by people who came of age in the '80s and '90s gently weep.

Extras

Not even a steel cage wrestling match featuring Alf, Punky Brewster and Gargamel will calm Hulkamania's orange and red rage.

Wrestler/VH1 reality star/TV host Hulk Hogan, why have you forsaken your head scarf-wearing people in such a dastardly way?

More importantly, why did you ruin our enjoyment of the new "American Gladiators" (which you do an OK job co-hosting but are clearly no Nitro)?

Crazy-like-a-crazy-fox Nancy Grace and I are very, very upset with you. We can't seem to stop talking about how you proved yourself to be a bad, bad dad.

I, for one, seriously regret all the times back in the day we cheered you on over "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and King Kong Bundy.

I hoped when there should have been no hope.

Because of you, I barely cried that time my brother jumped off his bed and accidently landed on my neck while we watched "Saturday Night's Main Event." The scar still burns, but my love for you has died.

Hulk Hogan (aka Terry Bollea), you were my first old-man crush, but I will no longer check the yes box if someone asks if I think you are cute.

Sir, you most definitely are not cute, and I do not, not, not want to be Mrs. Amelia Hulk Hogan.

Nancy Grace, her CNN "Headline News" audience and I sadly turn our affections to "Macho Man" Randy Savage. He would never do what you did and only wants us to enjoy snapping into a Slim Jim.

The Macho Man would never try to justify his son's bad actions by blaming the victim, in this case a 22-year-old Marine who is probably forever messed up.

Hogan was scheduled to appear on "Larry King Live" on Tuesday, June 10, to speak publicly for the first time since his 17-year-old big, blond, babbling baby boy Nick Bollea was sentenced to eight months in jail for critically injuring his friend John Graziano in a street-racing accident.

In a now-infamous jailhouse audiotape released to the media, father and son discuss the "Celebrity Out of Jail" reality show Nick could make a mint starring in and insinuate that Graziano got what was coming to him.

The Hulkster's wife, Linda Bollea, also says some whacked-out whackiness about Graziano's family, but everyone knows Linda is loony. All you "gots" to do is look at her for proof.

And all anyone has to do is watch an episode of Hogan's "Celebreality" show, "Hogan Knows Best," to know that the Hogan kids are spoiled with a capital "S."

But it is not the kids' fault they are selfish. Nick is 17 and was raised "special," like he earned the WWF championship belt.

Fault lies with his big ol' daddy and his too-thick-mascara-wearing mommy.

Hulk is no Ozzy Osbourne, and Linda is no Sharon.

Even with all the Osbourne's bat eating, slurring, swearing, drinking and drugging, Ozzy and Sharon, who starred in their own family reality show, are far superior parents. They are Jim and Margaret Anderson by comparison.

But I suppose we should thank Hogan.

Finally there is undisputable proof that wrestling and wrestlers are fake. Oh, and so are their families.

Do you think the Hogan's are getting a fair shot?

Who taped the conversation from the jail cell between Hogan and his son? Did some sell it. How did they get it. As far as them dating other people at least the Hulkster dadted someone close to his age Linda his wife picked a 19 year old now that is creepy……….Yes they are spoiled kids. I was a faithfully watcher of Hogan Knows Best and Linda needs to get a clue. She had it mad. She got shrinks for the dogs for gosh sakes. She never contributed anything ecespt for spending money.

Nothing in the law that states dating a 33 year old is bad in anyway.

Now, as to his son? JEEEEEEEEEESUS

Dr. Phil get him into boot camp QUICK!

I think this reaction is a little unfair. Hogan can date who he wants. Hollywood (and real life) has seen bigger age gaps than 33 and 54. It may be a little creepy that his girlfriend looks like and is friends with his daughter, but is she a minor? No. She’s 33. She’s perfectly capable of making her own decisions on dating, and I doubt she was forced or coerced into it. Bottom line, respect these people’s privacy and rights, even if you disagree with their decisions and lifestyles.
