But, after his storied wrestling career, the Hulkster started grabbing the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Following his tumultuous divorce from his ex-wife, Linda, Hogan admitted to having homicidal feelings, empathizing with OJ Simpson’s situation.

Former NFL star, OJ Simpson, was tried in 1994 for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson. Simpson’s ex-wife and her friend, Ron Goldman, were allegedly involved in an entanglement.
On the night of June 12, both were ruthlessly stabbed to death in LA. Simpson was found not guilty of the murder. However, the civil court jury found him liable for their deaths.

Hogan told Rolling Stone, per CNN that he found himself fully understanding OJ Simpson’s situation. In addition, he stated that he could have gone the same route and killed everybody.
“I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat,”
“You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it,” he stated.
