WWE's Biggest Star Ever Claims He Didn't Know She Was Filing! Professional wrestling's biggest all time star Terry Gene Bollea, better known around the world as "Hulk Hogan" has been hit with the news that his longtime wife Linda has filed for divorce in Pinellas County, Florida. No grounds for the divorce application have been confirmed yet, but Linda is represented by attorney Elliot Jay Goldstein of Largo, Florida.

According to Wrestling News Desk which has covered the divorce from all angles since the news broke on Friday evening, Hulk and Linda have been under intense media scrutiny since their 17 year old Nick Bollea crashed his Toyota Supra and slammed into a tree, causing passenger John Graziano a brain injury that has left him in a coma ever since. That accident, which occurred on August 26th, has lead to felony criminal charges filed against Nick as an adult.

In perhaps the most shocking aspect of the divorce filing, Hulk Hogan claimed he did not know his wife had filed divorce papers against him. The St. Petersburg Times reported they reached Hogan on his private cell phone Friday evening, and informed him Linda had filed Tuesday, to which Hogan replied, "Thank you for the great information," and hung up.
But The Hulkster called back the newspaper just five minutes later, and stated "I'm kind of shocked. 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."
