Hulk Hogan is getting a divorce, and in a Florida courtroom this week, he confronted his wife's lawyer as if he were staring down Andre the Giant on a pre-Wrestlemania III segment on Piper's Pit.
Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) became upset when he heard the lawyer for his estranged wife, Ray Rafool, telling reporters that Hogan had held marital assets hostage. Hogan angrily confronted Rafool, threatening to sue him and asking him if his son enjoyed the autograph that Rafool sought from the Hulkster.
Rafool responded to Hogan by asking, "Are you gonna to wrestle with me here? Are you gonna come across the cameras? Then be quiet."
The confrontation came shortly after a judge allowed Hogan to have access to $225,000 in frozen assets. Hogan was on crutches in court because he recently had back surgery.
On Friday, Rafool told the Associated Press, "It got much more heated than I would have preferred. Some of it was a little tongue-in-cheek about the wrestling. He was smiling and laughing. I was, too."
David Houston, Hogan's lawyer, told the Associated Press, "He felt that every dime they have was being dissipated by virtue of the divorce proceeding."
Said Rafool of being confronted by Hogan, "I guess I get the feeling what it's like to be in the WWE now."
Wow, that lawyer came off as a huge jackass. Calling out Hogan for lack of professionalism (while at the same time asking Hogan if he wants to wrestle), and then stating that this is not a free country?
Jeez, its lawyers like these that make the country hate the all lawyers.
The lawyer for hulk's wife, Ray Rafool is a fool. What a piece of sh*t. 1 second he's asking for Hulk's autograph the next he's arguing the case to (a grouping of sh*t) reporters/leeches.
I would have loved it if Hulk would have snapped his tiny neck.
Think women who are going after that much money should list their professions as prostitutes as the only reason they marry is to get the money out of the guy. And from looking at her she isn't worth the cash.
I wish I hadn't wasted my time with that. Both lawyers came off bad. The wife's lawyer looked foolish for not being able to argue any points and was obviously very off-point while Hogan's lawyer probably shouldn't have allowed the exchange, but it didn't hurt them. The reporters were quiet because the whole thing was a farce and they didn't care and they would have been laughing at them not with them. Plus, the whole wasteful spending thing... who earned the money to spend?
WHAT IS BACK PORCH? The easy answer: Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
