You know the Hells Angels are badass when a guy like Hulk Hogan -- who once body slammed 540-pound wrestler Andre the Giant -- is apologizing to them.
Hulk is now saying sorry over a prank voice mail he left on a guy named Chase Holfelder's answering machine -- one in which he threatened the kid with the wrath of the Hell's Angels.
Hulk left the message on Chase's machine as a favor for a friend of his named Dr. Phil Unger. Chase happened to be dating the doc's daughter -- and Phil wanted Hulk to help him rattle the youngster's cage.
Here's Hulk's apology:
"The idea that I some how was making any kind of threat against this individual is unfortunate. The voicemail was a practical joke made in a friendly situation and nothing more.
I have respect for the Hells Angels and apologize for any undue publicity they have received as a result of [the boyfriend] seeking his 15 seconds of fame.
I have also spoken to my friend and former Hells Angels member and co-star of HBO's hot series 'Oz' Chuck Zito, and explained to him that there was no malicious intent."

Hulk Hogan claims his own lawyers backstabbed him after Nick's 2007 car crash -- charging him over $1 million for legal representation he could have gotten for FREE.
Hulk's beef is with big-time law firm Zuckerman Spaeder.
Hulk claims after Nick's crash -- in which his passenger John Graziano suffered severe brain damage -- Zuckerman was contacted multiple times by Hulk's insurance company, Progressive, which offered to provide an experienced lawyer to represent the Hogan's in the civil case ... free of charge.
In the lawsuit, filed today in Pinellas County, Hulk claims Zuckerman failed to let him know about Progressive's offer for 17 months -- forcing him to pay in "excess of one million dollars" to Zuck and crew for legal representation he could have gotten without paying a cent.
Hulk also alleges that by the time his lawyers told him about Progressive's offer, the insurance company had "terminated the relationship" with Hulk and refused to pay for the bulk of Zuck's massive legal tab.
Hulk is suing for unspecified damages.

Linda Hogan is desperate to have something half her age between her legs -- as in the Harley Davidson motorcycle Hulk was supposed to give her per their divorce settlement.
Linda just filed papers in Pinellas County, Florida, saying the Hulkster didn't fork over the Harley -- plus $225,000 -- the court ordered him to give her by August 7.
It's not like she's hurtin' for transportation -- the papers says Hulk also had to give her a "Mercedes Benz, Cadillac Escalade, Corvette, Rolls Royce vehicles ... off road motorcycles and 4-wheelers."
She's not asking for those anymore, so she must have gotten 'em.
The best part: Linda wants the court to "require the incarceration" of Hulk and find him in civil contempt.

When you think property taxes, one name comes to mind: Hulk Hogan. Say what?
The Hulkster is the new pitchman for something called GuaranteedLowerPropertyTax.com -- which, we're assuming, helps you lower your property taxes by rubbing suntan oil all over your daughter.
Whatcha gonna do when the IRS runs wild on you?

It feels like it's been going on since Ric Flair was a kid, but it appears that Hulk Hogan's bitter divorce saga is finally reaching an end.
Early this morning in a Florida courtroom, Hulk and Linda Bollea finally agreed to a final settlement over their assets -- however the terms of the deal are not being released to the media.
On his way out of court, Hulk told the cameras, "I'm a free man."

All painful, dirty, drawn-out divorces must come to an end -- we're told Linda and Hulk Hogan's bitter split is finally about to be over.
Sources close to the case tell us they've begun negotiations and a settlement could be announced as early as next week.
After that, we'll never, ever, ever have to talk about Linda Hogan again.

Nick Hogan's car broke down in Beverly Hills yesterday ... before he could put anyone else in a permanent vegetative state.
The 19-year-old ex-con -- with big sis Brooke waiting patiently at his side -- got the vehicle up and running by adding some engine coolant.
Too bad everything isn't that easy.

Hulk Hogan's legal team had a slew of witnesses attack Linda Hogan's character today -- because Hulk claims she's been wasting a lot of her 40k a month in temporary alimony on drugs.
A hairdresser named Tracy Morgan testified in Florida court this morning that Linda came into her salon and asked to have some checks cashed -- all because Linda needed some greenbacks in order to buy drugs. The hairdresser claimed Linda's favorite drug combo was pot and a painkiller called roxycodon.
Also, a truck driver testified he saw Linda snort blow on a boat -- and a postal worker claimed Linda wanted to buy a car from him without Hulk's attorneys finding out.
Hulk's legal team wants these witnesses to show Linda doesn't deserve the 40k a month.

It looks like Linda Hogan isn't the only thing her 19-year-old boyfriend is allowed to ride -- a judge just blocked the Hulkster's attempt to keep the youngster from driving his cars too.
Hulk had asked the judge in Pinellas County to keep Charley Hill out of the driver's seat because he feared his marital estate would be liable if the kid got into a wreck.
Hogan tried, the judge denied -- but the judge didn't necessarily disagree with Hulk's plight. In the papers, the judge wrote that it "would appear to be exceedingly imprudent" to keep Charlie from getting behind the wheel.
Hulk's attorney told us, "This issue certainly isn't over... clearly from [the judge's] statement from this hearing that in principal he agrees with our position but legally does not feel he is able to grant an injunction."

Hulk Hogan's infamous O.J. comments are coming back to bite him in the ass -- because his estranged wife is now using them to further bleed his fortune dry.
Linda Hogan just filed papers in Pinellas County, Fla. claiming she needs an additional $8,200 a month from Hulk so she can move "thousands of miles away" from him because Linda feels she's in "imminent danger of becoming a victim."
And if Hulk doesn't pay up, Linda's threatening to file a domestic violence injunction against him -- with special terms to keep him from using the media to bash her.
The infamous cougar is also asking for $24,000 for "advanced rent and security deposits" to set up shop in sunny California...
...where O.J. happened to kill his wife.

Like an Amazon deity, Brooke Hogan lumbered through Miami Beach towering over her new diminutive boyfriend, rapper Stack$.
No doubt about it, she is Hulk's spawn.

Whether or not he was "taken out of context" like he suggests, Hulk Hogan has to understand something -- saying you could have "done an O.J." on your ex-wife is never a good idea.

Hulk Hogan says he was taken out of context when he was quoted as saying, "I totally understand OJ"... referring to the conflict with his ex-wife Linda. But Hulk's explanation may have made things worse.
Last night in Clearwater, FL the Hulkster said his Rolling Stone interview was a 3-day long affair, in which he said he was really the anti-OJ Simpson. But here's the thing. Last night, he explained, "I didn't do the OJ Simpson thing. I took the high road."
The high road -- not slitting your wife's throat.

Hulk Hogan thinks O.J. Simpson may have had a point -- when he slit his ex wife's throat.
Hulk sees a parallel between the plights of poor O.J. and himself. Hulk just told Rolling Stone: "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it."
Kato, your room is ready...
UPDATE: Linda Hogan's rep just issued a statement: "We have always maintained that the fear that Linda has had to live with comes from the rage and instability much too often associated with pro wrestlers." The statement goes on: "Linda and her family are taking these recent homicidal comments seriously."
The statement concludes by saying Linda's attorney is weighing his legal options.
UPDATE #2: Hulk's attorney, David R. Houston, tells us, "Page 6 only quoted a very small portion of the Rolling Stone article, not the statement in its entirety. He said that he understands the frustration that can lead to that sort of activity but he definitely does not condone it. He is grounded in his faith and a belief in a higher power and does not believe in violence for any reason."

Hulk Hogan wants to stop Linda Hogan's BF Charlie from driving cars on his insurance policy, claiming Charlie's "endangering the public."
Lest we forget ... his own son Nick, who crashed his dad's car and left passenger John Graziano in a vegetative state, is behind the wheel again.
