11/25/07
Wrestling star Hulk Hogan is "shocked" by his wife's decision
to file for divorce.
Linda Bollea has submitted legal documents in Florida's Pinellas County
Court seeking a permanent separation from her husband, whose real name is
Terry Bollea.
The sports star was informed of the split on Friday (23Nov07) by a
reporter from local newspaper the St. Petersburg Times.
He told the journalist, "I'm kind of shocked. You caught me off
guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks... Holy
smokes.
"Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. ... I just pulled
over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going
on here."
The papers do not state a reason for the divorce, reports local Fox
News TV channel WTVT.
The couple was married for 23 years following their 1983 wedding, and
have two kids, 19-year-old Brooke and 17-year-old Nick - who had his
driving license suspended for one year by police in relation to a summer
(07) car crash.
