Hulk Hogan had unmatchable star power in the world of pro wrestling during his stint. The 12-time World Champion led a life of luxury that came from his success in wrestling. 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. 

Hulk Hogan hints at having murderous intentions for his ex-wife, says he understands OJ Simpson

Hulk Hogan and Linda were married for 24 years. They have two children, Brooke and Nick, from their marriage. In 2009, Linda Hogan filed for divorce, accusing Hogan of infidelity. The divorce cost Hulk Hogan an arm and a leg.

He had to give up his $18 million mansion and other luxuries. What made things worse was that Linda Hogan started dating a much younger boy, Charlie Hill. Linda’s new boyfriend seemingly went to high school with her daughter, Brooke. 

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.

After his divorce, Hulk Hogan tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010. However, their relationship only lasted 11 years, as the couple parted ways in 2021. As for Linda Hogan, she broke up with Charlie Hill not long after their engagement. In fact, Charlie even sued Linda for $1.5 million for forcing him to do chores. 

When did Hulk Hogan wrestle his last match in WWE?

The Immortal Hulk Hogan wrestled his last match in WWE in 2006 against a young Randy Orton. At the time, Orton was rising to prominence for his “Legend Killer” gimmick. Orton’s rivalry with Hogan started after the former disrespected the Hall of Famer and even flirted with his daughter.

Hogan faced Orton at SummerSlam in a winning effort. The wrestling legend hit Orton with the iconic leg drop to pick up the win. Hulk Hogan has made sporadic appearances on WWE TV since then. His most recent appearance was earlier this year at Raw’s 30th anniversary.
