Hulk Hogan: "I Wish I Was Still With My Wife"

Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea are embroiled in a nasty divorce, but the WWE wrestler revealed Friday, he wishes they were still married.

As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife, Hogan told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos.


After 23 years of marriage, Bollea, 48, surprised Hogan, 54, last November by filing for divorce. (He learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.)

Hogan shot down rumors that he and Bollea parted ways to protect their assets after a law suit was filed by the family of the boy permanently injured in their son Nick Bollea's car wreck.

If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting," Hogan said. For me to be able to handle my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess weve got a pretty good act going on cause thats a lot to take on."

According to Hogan, the divorce was Bollea's idea.

It wasnt an argument, it was, Hey, I dont love you, I dont want to be with you, I dont want to see you anymore. It was the real deal, Hogan told Menounos.

Since then, the two have been engaged in a messy legal war.

Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent Ive ever run into," Hogan recently told Usmagazine.com.

"You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots, tripping people up. Ive never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!" he adds. "I guess I taught her well.

How long will they be battling in court?

This is a simple divorce theres no custody, theres just a big pile of junk that weve accumulated. We should split it," Hogan told Menounos."But my wife's lawyer has told different magazines theres gonna be a war."

Hogan continued, This is the money that I saved for my family, and money that Linda could walk away with, money that I saved for my children, that theyre just, theyre just wasting [it] and burning [it] up.

    Hilk fight her for everything and then give it to your kids. You can't take it with you when you die. At least the fight wouldn't be for nothing. God will deal with her greediness and coveting in his own time. Just sit back and watch it happen. There's still alot of people in your corner Hulk, not hers! She's a bad influence on your kids.

    such as work (employment). Your kids are all grown up and there won't be any child support, and as greedy as she may have sounded off forcing court to put you in jail for not buying a condo... is more of a reason she'll probably walk away with nothing at all. But you're such a nice guy, you'll probably give her something anyway. Did it ever cross your mind that s

    Personally I think if after 23 years of marriage and one party tells the other they don't love you, don't want you, and doesn't want to see you anymore that should say it all. There's no need to still want to be with that person. Hulk let her go...I'm sure there's someone better for you out there. Take some time to yourself, and move on with you

    You go hulkster, beat it out of her in court - and win this battle, because technically you don't anything in CA, where she filed - that's a woman's state (where women get it all). But in Fl, if that is where you married, that's the court that will recognize your marriage and let me tell you that's a Man's state... which means she may not get anythi

    Hell no, he can do so much better and the divorce court should see to it that she gets nothing. What a kaniving %@!*# and some mother she turned out. Oh I forgot she loves %@!*#es only... her precious dogs, etc. So the $$ that she's fighting for is the one that belongs to her own children - wow, that's sad. So then what, she needs it for her 19 yr old loser boyfriend. So he ca

    Yes they need to get over what ever miss faults, forgive and make it work, I am sure they have been through much more in 23 years and children.

    This deal is very unfortunate. I am sorry this had to happen to the good hulk but how could he ever trust her again after this. Its time to move on Hulk.
