Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional
wrestling scene in the late seventies and went on to become a world
wrestling champion many times over. From humble beginnings, this
giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of dock and construction
work in Port Tampa, Florida, to become one of the most recognizable
celebrities on the planet. He did it through sheer will, grit,
determination, and a drive to always go over the top and do more
than what others thought possible. From the outside, his story was
one of a charmed life--he was at the top of his career, had a
wonderful and loving family, and a lifelong fan base who worshipped
him. Of course he had his up and downs--including hints of steroid
abuse and his falling out with WWE and Vince McMahon--but it's been
the last two years that have tested Hogan more than any other in
his lifetime. In 2007, while riding the massive success of his VH1
reality show, "Hogan Knows Best, "his son Nick was involved in a
tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical
condition. Then Linda, his wife, left him after 23 years of
marriage, his beloved daughter Brooke blamed him for the breakup
and his son went to jail. The tabloid media had a field day. When
unflattering jailhouse conversations between him and his son were
released to the press the tabloids were in a frenzy. The sudden
turmoil and tragedy surrounding Hogan took its toll. He fell into a
deep depression, seeing no way out, until one fate ful phone call.
In "My Life Outside the Ring," Hogan will unabash edly recount
these events, revealing how his new found clarity steadied him
during the most difficult match of his life--and how he emerged
from the battle feeling stronger than ever before.
"I was right there leaning on the side of the car with my hands
when I finally saw Nick--my only son--folded up like an accordion
with his head down by the gas pedal. "Nick " I yelled. I could see
he was alive. He turned his head, he stuck his hand out, and gave
me a thumbs-up. For a second I was relieved. Then the chaos set in.
The noise of engines. Sirens. A saw. Para - medics pulling John
from the passenger seat. So much blood. I can't even describe to
you how panicked I was. The police and firefighters surrounding us
seemed panicked, too. The firefighters started cutting the side of
the car open to try to get Nick out, and I'm still standing right
there when I hear my boy screaming, "No, no, no, stop Stop You're
gonna cut my legs off. Dad Just unbuckle the seatbelt. I can get
out " So I reach in and I push the button on his seat belt, and
Nick just crawls right out. His wrist was broken. His ribs were
cracked. None of that mattered. He was gonna be okay. But not John.
John wasn't moving. ""--from "MY LIFE OUTSIDE THE RING
