RIP Bison Smith :(

Haven't seen a ton of his stuff, but from what I've heard, he was a really cool guy, and liked a lot by the American guys who went over to work in Japan.

First of all, Hogan's music played and he never came out. He came out after Sting. And secondly what about the fans? That was really lame of Hogan.

Hulk Hogan’s Divorce Details Go Public
By Mike Krumboltz | Yahoo TV – 1 hour 47 minutes ago

Details surrounding the divorce settlement between Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, and ex-wife Linda Bollea have surfaced in an article in the St. Petersburg Times. The two were divorced in 2009, but specifics of their financial settlement were unknown until now.

So much for 50/50. Linda Bollea received more than 70% of the couple's liquid assets. But the pain doesn't stop there for the Hulkster. His ex also received a 40% ownership stake in Hulk's companies. Plus, she received a $3 million property settlement (more on that below).

The St. Petersberg Times writes that "the confidential financial settlement came to light this week after it was attached to a new motion filed by Terry Bollea's attorneys."

So, what are the gritty details? According to the documents, Linda Bollea got a lump sum of $7.44 million from the couple's investment accounts. The remaining $2.97 million went to the Hulk.

The properties were either sold or are still on the market. The couple's home used in "Hogan Knows Best" was originally listed for nearly $14 million. It is now available for around $8.87 million. Once that sells, Hogan will owe his ex-wife $1.45 million. The two will split the remaining proceeds.

Additionally, Linda Bollea received several cars in the split, including a Mercedes-Benz, a Corvette, a Cadillac Escalade, and a Rolls-Royce. Hulk received many of the remaining automobiles.

It may sound like Hulk got body slammed, but it's not all bad news for the iconic wrestler. Deadspin explains that the Hulkster will get to keep any money he earns from personal appearances and will not have to pay alimony.

By celebrity standards, Hulk and Linda had what could be considered a pretty successful marriage. They were together for roughly 26 years and had two children, Nick and Brooke. Their reality program, "Hogan Knows Best," ran for four seasons.

Wow what a money grubbing filthy old cunt. :eek:

Im sure her years of lounging around in luxury not having to lift a finger has entitled her to get that much though. :nono:

On one hand, Hogan has been an egotistical, greedy, money-grubbing prick his entire career, so I'm kinda glad he's had to take this kick in the nuts.

On the other hand, as Gerard said, (I don't know anything about Linda and can't be fucked to research it, just going by what G said), she's probably not worked a single day in the last 25 years, why should she be entitled to so much?

What's crazy is that I'm sure Linda had NO IMPACT on Hulk Hogan achieving all that he did, and making all that money. She was jut at home, raising the kids, not having to work, and living the good life.

Xero	11-23-2011 07:15 PM

:eek: how much Linda got from the divorce with even more expected although it sounds like Hogan gets most of the unsold house money which could make the whole thing balanced again.

What actually caused their divorce, the car accident involving their son or something else?

Xero	11-23-2011 08:16 PM

They were probably tired of each other.

I'd probably get tired of living with either one after 25 years, too, even if I only saw them once every two weeks.

Emperor Smeat

11-23-2011 08:19 PM

I'd be too after 25 years of Hogan always talking about his 24 inch pythons or why Hulk-a-mania will never die every night before bed.

The kids probably hated Hogan always telling them to eat their vitamins and Linda probably hated having to buy countless shirts to replace the ones Hogan kept ripping when doing impromptu house promos.

CM Punk takes a shot at TPWW

Quote:

Recently WWE champion C.M. Punk addressed the criticism that WWE called him back to TV too soon after his Money in the Bank victory. He talked to ESPN's Jon Robinson and says WWE made the right call:

"In a perfect world, yeah, you could stretch everything out more, but realistically, it's a business. You needed a main event for Summerslam. So for all of the armchair bookers out there who are like, 'No, Punk came back too soon!' I agree with you, but, the second largest pay-per-view of the year, what match are you going to put in the main event? People need to take that into account. Nobody ever likes to look into things, they just like to bitch and complain about everything."

Xero	11-23-2011 08:22 PM

I said pretty much exactly that. It wasn't how I would have preferred his return to be booked, but it was the best way for business. On a short-term basis, anyway.
