Hogan Family -- Vehicular Lunatics?

196. Steph is as big an idiot as the Hogan family if she thinks their behavior is legal or acceptable! I agree with the above comment that Hulk Hogan was racing his son on that fateful nite. His silver dodge viper was at the site and so was Hulk Hogan at the exact time of the accident!!Our local news was at the site of the accident and reported on and showed both hulk hogan and his car was rigt there too!! why has no one (the cops) said another word about Hulk driving his racer at the same time? Was money perhaps changed hands to shut the media up from the cops down here???? COME ON TMZ DO YOUR JOB find out the truth was the father racing the son?? I don't doubt it!!!! Maureen

197. Hulk the Money Hider: you got that right. Oct. 23, 2007 he changed the status of his company and merged all of his trademarks under one entity. It can not be touched. Too bad the Graziano lawyers couldn't make access to the Bollea's money retroactive prior to the company status change. Doesn't mean that ol Nick can't be sued, unless he reorganized under Daddy's company status as well. But Nick doesn't have a fraction of what Hulk is worth. I don't understand how this family continues to NOT teach this kid a lesson. I guess it will be up to the courts to mett out discipline and punishment, instead of "high 5's"... we'll see though.

198. To 195:
You have the right to be mad, thats fine, but once again you were NOT there and just relying on some press coverage does not say what really happened. The problem with people is that they take press coverage as gospel like the press has never exaggerated a story to get ratings.

I am sure your kids have done stupid things, maybe not to this extent but things that have caused pain and hurt to other people. Maybe not to the degree Nick Hogan did, but again you need to check the skeletons in your and families closet before you judge others.

I am not a Hogan fan and never have been. Frankly I am not a pro wrestling fan. But I do not like people prejudging situations and others without knowing all the details and facts. We do not know all the facts. If Nick Hogan is found guilty, then great judge him all you want. But you and I are fairly certain John knew what he was getting into when he got into that car. He knew Nick had been drinking and he knew that Nick like to drive fast just by the fact that Nick had a contract with some race company. So John made a conscious decision that changed his life forever. His decision put him in a coma as sad as that is.

Worry about your own self before you judge others.

199. To 195:

I think you would understand my point better if for some reason you or a member of your family was inaccurately reported in the media. I hope you never are, but you have to remember that the media is NOT gospel and do not always report the REAL story, only what will attract viewers or sell papers.

Nick had three previous serious speeding infractions and should have had his license suspended earlier but some unknown reason the Florida DMV did not follow through and one police man let him go on alligator alley with only a warning. No amount of Hogans money would have stopped the DMV from suspending his license if the police did there job.

200. Post # 7 You are right on the money. Lies, Lies, Lies ! I certainly hope that this BRAT doesn't get away with what he has taken from JOHN GRAZIANO. JOHN is the Victim here. Do I sense ANY remorse from this arrogant punk or his family? According to our local news from Tampa, this isn't the first time punk trash boy has been cited for traffic showing off. The punk had some kind of race/crash/speeding ticket/ within the last 2 years!! mummy and deddy throw money at it, make it go away. JOHN GRAZIANO is a Human Being. A Person. Who can't speak for himself. How DARE you trashy people dis him over something like a seat belt. There is a pattern here, from mummy and deddy. Trashy BRAT can screw up, and it's 'parents' can't make This one go away, so they bad mouth a VICTIM who can't speak for himself. I'll just bet you that this has been going on his Whole life. Worthless piece of s^^^. He will Remain Worthless for the Rest of his life, that is a fact. LAZY A^^ so-called 'parents'. PUKE all of you.

201. You just don't get it. Go ahead and blame the guy who is laying in a bed with the mind of a vegetable and tubes hooked up to a machine to keep him going. I agree, John knew how Nick drives, I agree he may or may not have wore a seat belt, I agree he may or may not have known Nick had been drinking. But i do not agree with your assessment that all of this is due to the media portrayal of this. I am going by the words of credible witnesses to this...and I am sorry. More than one celebrity punk has had his mommy and daddy pay off some official so they can keep their license. What this all comes down to is this...a 17 year old with a license for less than 1 year has drove cars with no regard to his safety much less his passengers or the publics. He has 2 parents who indulge him and let him be the irresponsible punk he is...I could care who his parents are..."Hulk Hogan " or Joe Blow. What I am sick of is people like him and the very fact that they walk away from crap like this with not one word of sorrow, even if they are lying through their teeth. I didn't have to be there. I have seen the pictures and listened to their insipid comments....they sicken me and they anger me. No I am not playing God...or judge for a day. I am jsut saying what I feel...a hell of alot of anger that they seem to have no respect for the law or the safety of others. Have you seen the videos of Mama drag racing? Have you seen Juniors blogs on "myspace" ? They have all chosen to put themselves out there in the camera. No one has forced them to be celebritys. And there are celebritys who keep their faces off of the papparazzis tail. That is because they have brains and know that they are doing a job, be it singing or acting. They don't do a reality show thinking we all believe that this is how they are. The Bolleas made their beds and chose to lie in them. they put themselves out there for all to see. the general population of Clearlake, FLa. can tell you what jackasses they are. I have relatives who live there and have to deal with them. No I feel this way because I am sick of jackasses like them having the attitude that they are above the law and when the crap hits the fan, they put the blame on the other guy, they have no morals whatsoever. I don't blame the media or what the media prints. I blame Terry, Linda and Nick Bollea...100%.

203. What about personal responsibilities dont you all understand. Yes he was underaged and drinking. So the injured guy didnt know this or that he was prone to racing.What the Hogan kid did was wrong buy would you have jumped in the car with him????

204. I agree that Hulk was racing with Nick that day--how else did he end up at the crash scene. Just passing by?--yea right.

205. It looks as if Brooke was video taping the race from her end. A good attorney would subponea ALL of the Hogans personal video tapes. I bet there are hours and hours of good stuff hidden in those tapes. Did I forget to say, Good Stuff!!!

I bet those tapes would be worth millions.

206. Who effing cares. This happens to people all acrossed the country. People get their panties in a wad because its a celebrity. Yeah, I feel bad for John, I wouldn't wish that kind of suffering on anyone. When you have the media in your face, you have to put your emotions in a box. No one gets in their car and says to themselves 'I'm going to put someone in a coma today'. Yes it was irresponsible, and yes it could have been avoided. But it happened and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it at this point.
Yeah the Hogan family has some pretty serious skeletons in their closets, and Terry hasn't always been the 'nice dad' you see on TV.
The courts will sort this out, and hopefully justice will be served.

207. When are the rich and famous going to stop spoiling their kids?
Do you think a 17 year old male is not going to race in a fancy, fast sports car?
Get real!
Perhaps the parents will get a harsh dose of reality from the long term healing process the passenger must go through..................but I doubt it. I am sure that Nick is already driving around in a newer, faster car than the one he wrapped around a tree.
WAKE UP PARENTS!

208. This is a fine example of why the Hulk was voted fater of the year. His wife is as much to blame as the ignorant kids. Obviously its a disfunctional family as their show proves the point.

209. Wait, what? You mean celebrity families are real people too? Oh, no, say it is not so! I thought they were all sooooooooooooooo fake! Ha.

You people make me laugh ... thanks TMZ

210. Hey, NICK THE PR*CK ... all vehicular "collisions" are also considered "accidents" ... no one goes out with the purpose of wrecking cars or lives.
