Hulk Hogan Says Laila Ali Saved His Life
Back in 2007, Hulk Hogan had spent a night a strip club drinking and getting attention from girls who looked like his daughter when he went home to an empty house, had a shot of rum and some Xanax, got his gun, put it in his mouth and had his finger on the trigger when his phone rang.
According to his new book which The NY Daily News has excerpts from, Laila Ali was calling him and had noticed earlier in the day that Hulk was not his normal self and so decided to give him a call. Now I don't know how much of this story I believe, but I never want anyone to kill themselves and I'm guessing that Laila did actually call him and I wouldn't be surprised if she called him for the reasons he states in his book.
I wish more people would be like Laila and go ahead and make that extra effort and take the time to call. Hulk says that he wanted to kill himself because his ex wife had made him so miserable. He also trashes her throughout the entire book and also discusses briefly the John Graziano lawsuit which he says is for more money than he has made in his entire life.
In a lighter moment, Hulk told his now ex that he didn't want her to file for divorce in the midst of the John Graziano episode because, "Our son's just had this accident - if we do this now, it'll make us look like the Britney Spears family. Please, don't file for divorce.'"
Yeah, that is a good reason for not getting a divorce.
