Hulk Hogan: "I Wish I Was Still With my Wife"

WWE star Hulk Hugan wishes he and ex-wife Linda were still married.

"As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife," Hogan told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos.

Linda filed for divorce last November. Hulk, 54, learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.

Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, also blasted recent speculation that his and Linda's split was a ploy to protect their assets after a lawsuit was filed by the family of the boy permanently injured in their son Nick Bollea's car wreck.

"If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting," Hulk said. "For me to be able to handle… my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess we've got a pretty good act going on 'cause that's a lot to take on."

According to Hogan, the divorce was 100% Linda's idea.

"It wasn’t an argument, it was, 'Hey, I don't love you, I don't want to be with you, I don't want to see you anymore.' It was the real deal," Hulk said. "We'd had problems over the last ten years but you know, I thought that when you put your hand on the Bible, you know until death do us part and for better or worse, I thought people really meant that when they said it."

He added, "This is a simple divorce – there's no custody, there's just a big pile of junk that we've accumulated. We should split it however the judge wants it and walk away, but you know, my wife's lawyer has told different magazines there's gonna be a war.

"This is the money that I saved for my family, and money that Linda could walk away with, money that I saved for my children, that they're just, they're just wasting [it] and burning [it] up."

Hulk recently called Linda his "most formidable opponent".

"Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I've ever run into," he said.

"You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots, tripping people up. I've never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!" he added. "I guess I taught her well."
