Hulk Hogan And Family Need To Disappear To Far, Far Away
“k” has been called away once more, leaving me to attempt to fill her shoes on the whole Hulk Hogan/Terry Bollea/Nick Hogan/John Graziano car crash he said/he said debacle, so bear with me as we attempt to update you.
When we last discussed this story, k eloquently and painstakingly laid out all the facts before you. Nick Hogan/Bollea drank alcohol which was likely purchased and provided by his father Terry/Hulk. Nick then got behind the wheel of his yellow Toyota Supra also purchased by his father. Nick put on his seat belt, but apparently didn’t insist on his passenger wearing one. Nick then raced down a residential street at rates stated to be close to 100mph. Nick then lost control of his vehicle and hit a palm tree.
Nick walked away from the accident with scratches, John on the other hand, is in what appears to be a permanent coma-like state, with a large portion of his front skull missing and his frontal lobe caved in. It is likely he will never regain consciousness and certainly NEVER walk again. For all intents and purposes, John is a vegetable. Even more ironic is John escaped TWO tours of duty in Iraq only to come home and become a victim of drunken, reckless driving at the hands of his supposed “best friend.”
After much media manipulation and efforts to sway the public opinion in their favor, Nick was ultimately sentenced to 8 months in county jail. Then audio tapes of Nick and his father scheming to make money off of Nick’s “misfortune” were released, including statements where Hulk suggested John was asking for it karmically, and that God was dishing out his punishment for John being a “negative” person (which apparently refers to the fact that John “yelled” a lot before he was so severely injured.)
Hulk Hogan then went on the defensive by doing the Larry King Show and tried to make excuses for his completely inappropriate behavior and once again tried to paint Nick as the victim because his privacy was invaded when the tapes were released to the public. In the meantime, Nick appealed to the courts to allow him to serve some of his time at home because he’s under 18 and was being mistreated by being confined to solitary confinement. His appeal was declined, but he was moved to a cell with other juveniles. Hmmmm….I am curious how that’s working.
Nick, through his actions and words, has made it clear he is NOT remorseful for his actions and doesn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation he created when he recklessly crashed his car. Nick even stated to the media that John was fine, except for hitting his head. Click here for images of his “bump to the head.” WARNING, image is very upsetting and graphic.
Now, to make matters worse, we have the Hogan/Bollea family, working through their good buddy Sirius radio DJ Bubba the Lovesponge, who leaked messages left by John Graziano’s older half-brother Frank Caruso. The messages (click here to listen) are needless to say, threatening, graphic, and entirely inappropriate, but hardly unexpected. John’s family are known for being shall we say “rough” and considering the kinds of things they’ve had to deal with in the media, it’s shocking this is the first incident.
That said, it doesn’t help John in anyway to have his family stoop to the level of the Hogan/Bollea family. If they were smart, they’d stay quietly behind the scenes, let Nick and family hang themselves with their twisted, unremorseful words and hit them where it really hurts the Bollea’s — their wallet. I would sue Hulk and crew for every last penny and pocket lint they had.
Here’s Glosslip’s entire coverage of this story from the beginning.
This whole situation has gone from ugly to apocalyptic. Btw, Nancy Grace is a crazy biznatch, but I love her over-the-top, Oscar-worthy b.s. Nancy’s my hero, when I grow up I want to be just like her!

The Hogans are loving the publicity. Linda filed a complaint with the courts a week or so ago asking for Hulk to be thrown in jail (the same jail Nick’s in) because Hulk hasn’t paid for her plush Vegas pad yet. Oh yes, let’s overcrowd the jail with someone who hasn’t paid for an apartment or a condo or whatever the fuck it is.
The simple fact is, these folks live for drama. If they have nothing real to exploit, they manufacture it. And the real stuff? Too horrible to deal with — especially in the case of John Graziano.
The whole family is delusional at best.

First let me say that my prayers are with the young man John, it’s terrible what he is going through and his family is going through. I believe the exploitation of the Hogan family is just as disgraceful. The young man chose to get in the car, he himself was a racer on the same team as nick hogan. It was his decision not to put on a seat belt, not Nick’s. Nick made a horrible mistake. he’s just 17 years old. The judge decides the punishment for Nick, Once he has served his sentence and paid for his part in all of this the media should leave this family alone. They need to heal tool

Yo,
I have had it with this punk -Nick Hogan, who shows no remorse whatsoever. What happens when he gets out of jail, some more BS from him, just living off of Daddy’s suuccess 24/7 ?
Someone should beat the crap out of him in jail, and wake this kid up, as to what he did!
The whole family are just a bunch of money & publicity grabbers, fueled by VH1 - the “garbage network”
Brooke Hogan has no talent whatsoever, and they gave her a show, can yu believe it?
I’m running out to lunch now, but more later y’all -there is lots to talk about here, and I’m going to have my say, maybe not on Larry King, but right here, so catch my next comments about this horrible situation, this kid needs to get what he has coming to him

Hey Rhona,( comment #1 above)
what you thinking??
the Hogans “need to heal”, - like they are gonna go to Church, or live some type of quiet life???- you gotta be kiddin.
Give Hulk Hogan a cheesy show of any type, not to mention Brooke, and he will sign on the dotted line immediately.
That asshole Nick Hogan, said to the Hulk from jail, while I’m here in jail, find me the highest paying Reality show out there, for me to sign up with, as soon as I get out of the clink. So we need to see more of this talentless punk, with his everyday crap. The judge said he cannot drive, or drink for 3 years, so what’s he gonna do on TV now, - surf the beach for hot chicks, with his asshole friends.
Meanwhile, his best friend is gravely ill in a hospital, due to his wise ass actions. Poor John Graziano, my heart goes out to him & his family, he bravely served in Iraq, only to be wrecked in a major car accident, by Hulk Hogan’s punk kid, and blogger Joanie is asking for “healing time”, for this disfunctional f’ed up family, -give me a break lady!”
Oh, did we mention Linda Hogan, dating a 19 year old, also the divorce is a sham, they are not getting divorced, but getting lots of press with all this BS.
Seems it’s harder for the Graziano family to sue the Hogans, if they are split, rather than together, . . .get it now!???? Now it’s like suing 2 people, instead of a married couple, more technical & legal issues that way.
I would like to hear other Bloggers here, give ther opinions, I hope they are as outraged as I am
There is no end to this mess, my thought & prayers, are with John Graziano, and his family, and I pray for his recovery
