Washington
(ANI):
Professional
wrestler
Hulk
Hogan
and
his
wife
Linda
Bollea
are
going
through
a
very
tough
divorce,
but
it
does
not
stop
him
from
wishing
that
they
were
still
married.
After
23
years
of
marriage,
Bollea,
48,
surprised
Hogan,
54,
last
November
by
filing
for
divorce,
a
split
he
learned
about
from
a
newspaper
reporter.
"As
crazy
as
that
sounds
to
say,
I
wish
I
was
still
with
my
wife," Usmagazine
quoted
Hogan
as
telling
Access
Hollywood''s
Maria
Menounos.
Others
saw
the
divorce
as
being
a
ploy
to
protect
their
assets
from
a
lawsuit
that
was
filed
by
the
family
of
the
boy
permanently
injured
in
their
son
Nick
Bollea''s
car
wreck,
making
Hogan
deny
the
rumours.
"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
we've
got
a
pretty
good
act
going
on
'cause
that's
a
lot
to
take
on,"
he
stated.
According
to
Hogan,
the
divorce
was
Bollea''s
idea,
and
the
two
have
ever
since
been
engaged
in
a
messy
legal
war.
"It
wasn't
an
argument,
it
was,
'Hey,
I
don't
love
you,
I
don't
want
to
be
with
you,
I
don't
want
to
see
you
anymore.' It
was
the
real
deal,"
Hogan
told
Menounos.
"Without
a
doubt,
this
one
is
the
most
formidable
opponent
I've
ever
run
into.
"You
talk
about
dirty
tricks:
Brass
knuckles,
steel
knuckles,
cheap
shots,
tripping
people
up.
I've
never
seen
anybody
in
the
wrestling
business
that
has
more
dirty
tricks
than
she
does!
I
guess
I
taught
her
well," he
added.
Hogan
was
asked
how
long
the
divorce
proceedings
would
continue,
and
he
stated
that
it
was
a
simple
case.
"This
is
a
simple
divorce
–
there's
no
custody,
there's
just
a
big
pile
of
junk
that
we've
accumulated.
We
should
split
it,"
Hogan
told
Menounos.
"But
my
wife''s
lawyer
has
told
different
magazines
there's
gonna
be
a
war.
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
they're
just,
they"re
just
wasting
(it)
and
burning
(it)
up,"
he
concluded
