The Real American Is Real Single


Hulk Hogan, Wife Settle Divorce
Us Magazine

Hulk Hogan and his wife have finally reached a settlement in their divorce case.

At a brief hearing Tuesday morning in Clearwater, Fla., Hogan, 55, and his wife Linda announced that they've agreed to the terms of the split.

"We've reached a marital settlement agreement," Ray Rafool, Linda's attorney, told the judge.

In a statement to Usmagazine.com, Hogan's rep says, "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."

Look back at Hollywood's ugliest splits

The terms were not made public. (In 2008 court filings, the couple's net worth was listed at between $26 million and $32 million.)

Before the proceedings began, Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and Linda were spotted smiling, according to a local ABC affiliate. At one point, she even kissed his cheek.

"The war is over," Linda said after the hearing.

I'm glad to see Hulk has finally crossed the finish line on this crazy race. He hadn't faced a challenge this tough since Earthquake broke his ribs on The Brother Love Show in 1990. This story really serves as a cautionary tale that money and fame makes people act nutty.

The Hulkster had to be a decent, humble guy at some point in his life but the fame of his character made him an egotistical nut. And his family held themselves pretty well in check until the TV show came out and they got famous. As always, hindsight is 20/20 but doing that reality show was a really bad idea. He should have just come back to wrestling.
