Hulk Plans Secret Hearing: Don't Tell Mom!

Hulk Hogan seems to have been planning a secret hearing to get Nick out of the jail he now calls home.
Hulk Hogan, Nick Hogan
In one of the audiotaped phone conversations, you hear Hulk tell Nick that he's not going to show up at the hearing because he's too high profile and that the media would then show up and the judge would feel pressure "not to do the right thing."

It's unclear which hearing Hulk is talking about, but it's very clear the purpose of the hearing is to get Nick transferred to another facility. You hear Hulk urge Nick, "Don't tell your mom." He's afraid she'll come with all her divorce lawyers and attract the media.

Nick says he'll wear his jailhouse issue in court to create "sympathy" with the judge. Nick said in another conversation he was hoping for house arrest. Good luck with that, dude.

This little whiny mammas boy is paying for what he did! Period!!Anyone else would prob. have gotten more time!! But daay got the best lawyers! Mamma needs to shut her pie-hole!! This is not a family with class, this is family who doesn't want to work for anything! And Huck is creepy as hell!! Who in thier right mind rubs lotion on the ass of thier 20 yr old daughter!! Anyone one else would be consider a sexual preditor or worse!! And what daughter would ask him too!!

77. I agree with a lot of what imamom said, with the exception that I do not think the parents are setting a good example and should instead be helping Nick accept responsibility. And, I don't think John should be blamed - the driver is wholy responsible for the car and everyone in it, and should not get behind the wheel if impaired. I do believe that Nick should be in a juvenile facility, as he is a juvenile. Hopefully one where he'll do more than play cards all day. He deserves to do his time in my opinion, but not with adults.

78. I think house arrest would be great....with one stipulation......you have to spend all your time by the beside of of John.

79. Joe: I think TMZ has a scoop and none of the other sites are on to this yet. The paparrazi side to all of this will be next probably. You DO recognize all of the Hogan voices, don't you? I can't imagine you could think these are imposters.
On a slightly different note - why would Linda take her Divorce attorneys to a court hearing about trying to get little Nicky moved? Even more bizarre. But with this crew who knows. Anyway, some of this problem of Nicky being a juvenile will sort itself out on July 27th. That's right. Little Nicky will then turn 18 and be a big boy finally and can go to a regular jail, not a preschool one.

81. How the hell did TMZ get a copy of these tapes? And why did the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office allow this to be played? Why don't they just make everybodies jailhouse conversations be aired on the internet.

TMZ is truly pathetic!

82. To #71 Ima mom, well I am a mom too. I have gone through the heartache of seeing my son in jail and prison over the course of 18 years. But never once did I try to get his ass out. I went through this since he was 13 years old and the juvenile system. But it still comes down to one fact, you do the crime, you do the time. Even the best of parents can have kids who screw up. But just because they are kids does that mean there are no consequences for their actions? Maybe there was problems between John and his mother, who knows? Does that mean she loves her son any less than Terry or Linda love their son Nick? For what it is worth, John is sentenced to a lifetime of no life. Isn't that enough? Nick was given 8 months, big deal. Sure he is scared. Jail is not supposed to be fun, not a 5 star hotel. But he chose not to go to trial and now he blames his lawyers, John Graziano...he blames everyone but himself. He is 17, not 7. He has a record of flaunting the law. He has parents who obviously feel that it is his right to endanger the public when he drives. I never felt good any time my own son was incarcerated but I also made him suck it up. He chose to do the crime, he had to do the time. Of course it isn't easy for Terry or Linda but heir son will get out. He will come home and speak to them, continue to drive, feed himself, tell them good-night or I love you. What does Mr. and Mrs. Graziano have to look forward to? Everytime the phone rings I am sure they wonder if it is the hospital calling to tell them of John's next crisis. Not wondering if the phone call is John calling to say good-night or I love you. Nick Bollea is no different than anyone elses kid evcept for the fact he has a mother and father who have never given him any morals or values. Oh right, Nick and his sister were made to get jobs at one point on their insipid program. One day?! Real lesson learned. And all these recorded phone calls are not private. You lose that right when you go to jail and anyone can have access to them. I for one am very glad that TMZ is putting them out there. The Bolleas have no regard whatsoever for the agony of John's family. All they think about is themselves and they are so ignorant that they don't even seem to realize that this will all go before a civil court too. Yeah, Nick is a 17 year old and he is in jail for a few months. Meanwhile John is on a life support system with a hole in the front of his head the size of a softball. He just bumped his head, he's going to wake up anytime now and Terry and Nick are gonna walk him out of the hospital. Now it is all John's fault. God did this to John, John's mother is to blame...so is his father. Everyone is to blame but the Bollea family. Sorry but it just doesn't cut it.

83. What TMZ is doing should be illegal...........these conversations, are private and priviledged....leave this family alone, he is in jail what happens happens, this is "hollywood" they are all above the law so leave it alone..........Paris, Nicole, Lindsay etc. all have "get out of jail free" cards at least this kid has done more time, yet not enough! He is trying and what you hear is just normal reaction from a scared child and his parents..........STOP it already otherwise I will start to make a stink about these taped conversations to the courts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

84. HOW STUPID ARE THESE HOGANS. I CANT BELIEVE THEM. ARE THEY STILL RUNNING THERE MOUTHS EVEN THOUGH THESE TAPES ARE MADE PUBLIC? #68 I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE BLAMING JOHN FOR THIS . YOU ARE A DISGRACE AS A MOTHER. #68 HAS TO BE ONE OF THE HOGAN CLAN (IF NOT YOU DONT DESERVE TO BE A MOTHER)

85. It's truly unfortunate that this family feels that they are the one's that are gettting the short end of the stick. Instead of trying to coddle their son and try to get him moved to another facility for no good reason they should be teaching him to own up to his crime and pay the very small price he has to pay. Oh wait that's what any normal parent would do, but these two jokers are clearly not good parent whatsoever starting with giving their underage son alcohol and keys to a car that he had no business being in. Instant karma's gonna get ya!!!!!

86. I don't understand how anyone had access to these phone calls in the first place? Could someone clue me in?

Posted at 4:10PM on May 24th 2008 by l.e.

87. stopitalready, go to the courts!!!!! How sympathetic will the judge be? We all have heard thier true colors!!!!
Go cry to the judge.

88. way to teach you son responsibility!

sarcasm in case the Hogans don't pick up on it

this is disgusting and shows what kind of selfish, self centred, low-lives that they are

their sense of entitlement nauseates me

I feel horrified for the other family who is now tangled up with these immoral people

their arrogance leaves me at a loss for words!

maybe these tapes can be used for their lawsuit in civil court
where I hope that the judge awards them everything the Hogans have and will have in the future

89. OK Torri, you got help. PLEASE POST AND E-MAIL FRIENDS.

MAKE YOUR COMPLAINTS MATTER!!!.
JUSTICE FOR JOHN GRAZIANO:::::::BOYCOTT THE HOGANS

Here is the link for Viacom which owns MTV, VH1 & CMT
http://www.viacom.com/contact/Pages/default.aspx

Copy & Paste the Following:

This is to let you know that there will be a major boycott of your
networks & sponsors if you pick up and/or air any show that the Bollea aka Hogan
family are a part of. This is based on the just released audio
conversations Mr. Bollea had with his incarcerated son placing blame
on the victim of the tragic car wreck that Nick Bollea (who was drunk
courtesy of his father who purchased the alcohol for his minor child)
caused. It also shows they have no remorse for what has happened to
John Graziano (the victim) & their only concern is for their own
financial gain.
This notice is also being placed on TMZ's website for others to
follow suit.
Thank you

Another site to e-mail - THE HOGANS AGENT WHO GET (STILL) 10% OF EARNINGS

Owner/President: darren@deadspin.com
Senior Editor: rick@deadspin.com

I am aware that Darren Prince does not suffer fools lightly, and does not tolerate boycotts, but hopefully with enough e-mails.... you never know till we try.

So far, I have not had an e-mail failure. Sent e-mail follows for those who wish (I pray) to cut, past and send.

:Dear Sir.

After hearing the telephone conversations between the Hogans, mother AND father, I will not support any promotions, TV shows, advertisers, reality show or media events that have anything featuring any member of this family.

What Linda Hogan said about the victims' mother was totally inappropriate and disgusting.

I will neither accept any apology from the Hogan's or any attempt by your company to whitewash this situation.

I will also avoid any of your company's other clientele if you continue to represent the Hogans.

90. Thank you for the Viacom address. I have made sure they have heard from me. The Bolleas are one of the most amoral bunch I have ever seen. God help the Graziano family through this and the future.
