Wrestler Hulk Hogan and his wife, Linda, are reportedly disagreeing on practically everything in their divorce proceedings - from alimony to child support to their wedding date.

Ah yes - another reality TV marriage goes down in flames and this one could very well be the ugliest yet, especially since Hogan (whose real name is Terry Bollea), has filed a counter-petition to wife Linda’s divorce suit.  The “Hogan Knows Best” couple separated in September, a mere month after their son, Nick, crashed his car and left passenger and friend John Graziano in a coma. Graziano, 22, who is an Iraq war veteran, is expected to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home. 

Linda Bollea, 48, is seeking primary custody of Nick, who is 17 and will turn 18 in July, while Terry, 54,  disagrees, saying their son should be able to decide for himself exactly who he wishes to live with.  As far as alimony, Terry says hands off the money - he believes Linda is more than capable of supporting herself (he did say he would continue to provide her health insurance, however).

The Bolleas, who own more than $9.5 million in real estate, even disagree on the date they were married - Linda says it was December 12, 1983, while Terry argues that it was December 18th. 

Court records support his claim.

Linda Marie Bollea has filed for divorce from her husband, pro wrestler and TV personality Terry Gene Bollea, also known as “Hulk Hogan.” Documents obtained through Florida’s Pinellas County Court Web site said Linda Bollea filed for divorce on Tuesday, November 20th, but the papers did not offer a reason.

Word of the split was first reported by WTVT, the Fox affiliate in Tampa Bay, Florida.

The couple, who were wed in 1984, have been married for 23 years. According to various reports, Terry was not made aware of the divorce until he spoke with a reporter from the St. Petersburg Times, who told him his wife filed divorce papers at a local courthouse:

Reached by phone on Friday night, Terry Bollea said he had no idea his wife had filed for divorce. When informed during the call that the paperwork was submitted on Tuesday, Bollea said politely, “Thank you for the great information,” and hung up.

He called back about five minutes later.

“I’m kind of shocked,” he said. “You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. … Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. … I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here.”

Asked whether he and his wife had discussed divorce, he said, “That’s my private business.”

The couple’s son, Nick, has been charged with reckless driving involving serious bodily injury in connection with an August car crash that seriously injured a passenger in his car.

Hulk Hogan has been tapped to host the remake of the early 90s television masterpiece, “American Gladiators”.

I loved American Gladiators as a child, and I look forward to seeing how they update the show. It’s rumored they are adding some water related challenges, stunts, and special effects to spice up the show. You can find the original American Gladiators in reruns on ESPN late at night if you want to check out the original show.

Not sure if Hogan is right for this, though…connecting him to American Gladiators is going to immediately connect the show with Professional Wrestling. They might want to avoid that.

The show, of course, features regular joes taking on the roided up team of super-humans that are the AMERICAN GLADIATORS!
