Hulk Heals at Hooters

What do you do when your son has been sentenced to eight months in the slammer? Get your grub on at Hooters!
Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan drowned his sorrows in chicken wings at a local Hooters restaurant in Tampa, Florida today. Sources tell TMZ that the wrestling star was accompanied by close friend and former WWF wrestler Brian Knobbs of the Nasty Boys, wrestling manager Jimmy Hart and other family friends. The group dined on wings, beer and salad. Nothing heals pain faster than chicken and beer!

Brooke and Linda were not a part of the fried festivities.

77. Hulk let his son have too much freedom and apparently never said "NO" to much....while on the other hand, he hires a bodyguard to follow his daughter around to see what or who she might be getting into behind Daddys' back. Didnt they raise thier children with any self control? I can tell he is a strict father, or is he just too involved in his bleached blond daughters' life a little too close for comfort? I don't see why going to Hooters or any where else for that matter was such a big deal. His son is the one who is serving time, and it is only a few months at that. Maybe a more subtle place with less exposure might have been a better choice, but I guess the media can follow you everywhere.

80. I will try to be as pc as i can. The boy made a mistake If you ask the 17 year old driving or his passenger. The next point I make is who had there seatbelt on how can a person that fought a war to protect our country not understand if you get into a car with a Friend that is into RACING IMPORTS. Like alot of teens are into. No disrespect but if you can be combat trained and be ok to defend our Country from Terrorist and do not have the common sense to wear a sealtbelt. Or not even get into the car with a person that could put your life into danger........ it all boils down to WE make our own CHOICES no matter The age and if they do not go right. THEN WE LOOK TO BLAME THE NEXT PERSON WHO WAS THERE I AM SOORRY TO SAY BUT AS A PARENT THE BLAME COMES BACK TO YOU ..

82. You are all stupid. I'm sure you all live perfect little ideal lives and never screw up. get off your high horses .I scrape for every dollar to make ends meet and I don't have a problem with the Hogans because they are wealthy, nor anyone else who is. Nick's friend knew what could happen when he got in the car.How do you know he wasn't sitting there encouraging Nick.Hey,guess what,you don't. So why don't all of you just shut the hell up.

83. You have to realize the Hogan family's take on all this -

1st Hulk bought the alcohol for his (underage) son Nick and friends the day of the wreck and they (including Hulk) had a 'booze cruise.' Why is Hulk not being charged?

2nd Linda Hogan was in a 2005 drag race with daughter Brooke in the passenger seat. After the race, Linda boasted, "I love it. The rush, the speed on the road ... racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."

3rd Prior to the wreck, Nick already had 3 major speeding ticket within a year, and he had only been driving a year! Frankly, if my kid did that, he would have no car, and would be in his room grounded (yes, at 17!).

4th Nick's license plate "COEHSP" stands for "Capable of Eluding High Speed Pursuit."

5th Nick played in the hospital corridors instead of visiting his "best friend" by shooting dart guns and skate boarding (HUH?!? in a hospital?!?! with your friend ruined for life?!?!).

6th While Nick's alcohol level was 0.02 and is not considered drunk in Florida (0.08), the 0.02 IS the limit of being illegal in Florida, as Nick is an underage drinker. It's called the "Zero Tolerance" BAC Level (blood alcohol concentration). He was drinking illegally.

Lastly, following the accident, TMZ said this: "Nick Hogan boasted to a magazine not long ago about how girls' panties "start dropping off" at the mere sight of his yellow Supra -- that is, of course, until it ended up in a hideous heap of metal after he totaled it last weekend, leaving his friend John Graziano in very serious condition.
What's more, in an interview in the upcoming Rides magazine, Hogan brags that he got let off not once, but twice by cops, after going over 100 mph in one of his other cars, a silver Viper, because he's a Hogan, and that he didn't get a ticket on the same trip until he was stopped doing 123 mph in a 50 mph zone."

They are a spoiled rotten nasty little family with no interest in anything but their own pleasures. Nick got off WAAAAY too easy. I hope that 500 hours of community service includes riding with cops and first responders to accidents and he has to follow the bodies to the morgue and be present when the police have to tell a family their loved one is dead from a stupid-choice wreck (I hate to call his infraction an accident ... it was set to happen).

Peace to John's family.

84. Well what the f is he suppose to do? Go to bed and cry his heart out? He's getting a divorce, the publicity is hounding him about his brooke look alike gf, and he has to continue living life. I suppose you'd rather see himself go hang himself from his recent tragedies. Lame effin story TMZ.

85. What court allows a man to wear a hat or a doo-rag on his head before the judge????

Posted at 7:19AM on May 11th 2008 by web

86. The man is out with his boys. That is what we men do. Personally, I think he should go get s..t-faced and whoring. It doesn't fix anything at all... it doesn't get your boy out of jail, fix your marriage (probably damage it further), or get your girl into a successful singing career, but quite frankly, who gives a flying f..k. His business and his life and it you have a pair and have been through some bad crap in your life, you'd actually understand... It is what guys do. If you're a chick, I wouldn't expect you to understand...

87. Look, I think that Nic got everything that he deserved. You wanna drive lilke an idiot and not have respect for anyone else on the road as well as yourself and passengers in your car, then you deserve what you get. It is very unfortunate for the family of the victim and my thoughts and prayers go out to them. But nic deserved what he got if not more time and probation. He is scum to me. As for Hogan going to Hooters..... i don't feel he was in the wrong. He was with close friends that were helping him through this. He knew his son was going to jail, it's not like he got the death sentence. God you people need to lighten up. I probably would have gone and done the same damn thing. This was no big suprise to the family i'm sure. They knew he was going to the slammer, they just didn't know how long.

88. Well first let me add hogan son made this mess not hulk hogan, We are responsible for our own actions as humans and this had nothing to do with beer. Hogan son had issues with racing and know matter what people say no one can watch your kids 24/7 , you have to take responsilbilty for yourself. Hogan at hooters look at his face his eye's are red he was crying anyone can tell and his friends where trying to cheer him up whats the big deal . bottom line his son put himself in jail for showing off with a fast cars except acting responsible and his friend paid a worse fate then nick hogan, I hate that we in america love to shift blame on everyone else except own up to our own mistakes.

89. sweetbronx, Hogan bought the beer?

90. LOL- it's always interesting to see how naive and/or ignorant people can be;

WHO told anyone that Graziano wasn't wearing a seatbelt?

Oh, the Hogan family. ONLY the Hogan family.

NOT the official accident report. Not the forensic evidence at the hospital that revealed bruises from a seatbelt on John's body;

ONLY the Hogan family. Why do you think their idiotic idea to do a commercial for seat belt safety died so suddenly?

WHY do you think Little Nicky plead "no contest"? WHY do you think Hulk was praying like the little bitch he is, AFTER the plea was changed to "no contest"? There was no "mea culpa" here, because the criminal aspect of this case is minor, relative to the civil aspect- no matter what, Little NIcky was never going to do more than a year in stir.

However, lost among all the back-slapping going on in that courtroom was the fact that the judge DID get Little Nicky to admit to full culpability. This opens the door full-steam for the civil action, and though Little Nicky pleading "no contest" may have saved himself a few months of incarceration, it's liable to be the most expensive months of Hulk's life.

Just because Little NIcky plead "no contest" to avoid having the facts come out at trial in this case doesn't prevent the real facts of this case from arrising in the civil action.

Once again, the Hogans get very poor legal advice.

As to Hulks culpability?

Not even a tough conversation.

Not only was Little Nicky a minor, but, thanks to his prior steller driving record, Hulk was signed off three ways to Sunday to be financially liable for Little Nicky- how do you think ANY insurance company would take on the liability of Little Nicky otherwise? Hulk, in effect, self-insured Little Nicky, which he is actually financially capable of doing;

Well, the 100-year storm hit, Hulkster- time to pay up. Phony divorces and shipping money off to the Caymans won't fool anyone- you have the money, and everyone knows you do. The profit from the sale of his house in Miami alone will provide for care for John Graziano for 10 years.

Be a man. Accept your responsibility. You can always sell a few more t-shirts and make this money up;

What does John Graziano do?

Anyone who thinks otherwise in this case isn't paying BILLS. A fairy doesn't come and sprinkle magic pixie dust over John Graziano and watch his BILLS go away. John's body may live another 20 years, at over $1M/year of care required;

Oh- Hulk clears that much off the interest on his money market accounts......

Gee- guess it would have been cheaper to KEEP YOUR WORD and just pay John's bills like you said you were going to, huh Hulk?

Don't cry about this case breaking you, Hulk-- YOU made your choices;

Man up, BROTHER.
