WWF Superstar Bodyslammed with Surprise Divorce Charge

By Sheryl Rentz on February 11, 2009

On November 25, 2007, distressing news broke for WWF legend Hulk Hogan. His wife of many years, Linda Hogan, had filed for divorce through the Pinellas County Court in Florida. Hulk (whose legal name is Terry Bollea) and Linda had starred in their own reality television series on the VH1 Channel called Hogan Knows Best. Towards the end of the season, the show featured Linda and Hulk attending counseling sessions together, but the show concluded with the couple finding common ground.

Some speculate that a deep emotional rift ripped the couple after Hulk Hogan was sited on August 26, 2008 for a drag racing accident which severely injured a passenger in his vehicle. Although the Hulkster himself wasn’t seriously hurt, the incident touched off new tensions within the Hogan household. Fewer than three months later, Hulk’s son, Nick Bollea, got into a car crash himself.

At the time of Linda Hogan’s surprise divorce filing, the Hogans were living together in a Miami Beach estate estimated to be worth more than $10 million, which is a substantial amount to be discussed with their property division lawyer. Hulk Hogan gained fame as a “professional” wrestler in the 1980s, during which time he battled against such high profile “bad guy” wrestlers as Rowdy Roddy Piper and Junkyard Dog.
