Tampa, Florida – Four months after a crash that left him with serious brain injuries, 22-year-old John Graziano is now semiconscious and has opened his eyes, his mother confirmed to Tampa Bay’s 10 News on Friday.
Graziano was left comatose after a crash in Clearwater on August 26. He was a passenger in a yellow Toyota Supra driven by Hulk Hogan’s son Nick Bollea, police reports show.
Graziano’s mother Debra said the impact broke the base of her son’s skull.
He still can’t breathe without a machine and can’t speak, but recently, he has shown some signs of improvement.
Graziano leaned away from his mother as she tried to touch his face recently, she said.
After the crash, Graziano was transported to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. He was later moved to the James A. Haley V.A. Medical Center in Tampa.
Debra confirmed this information to Tampa Bay’s 10 News via email. She signed off with Romans 8:28.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

I guess "good" sense of humor is subjective then, cause I didn't laugh. Wasn't offended, but wasn't laughing.

This is horrible news. If this guy continues to heal up, it will give the Hogan haters less ammo for their bitter-fueled anti-Hogan rants.

Don't worry, I'm sure they can make up stories of "A roided up orange goblin" being spotted sneaking into the kid's room to smother him with a pillow at night. In all seriousness though, good to hear he's improving. And I too thought it was a little creepy he was reported to be leaning AWAY from his mother....ah well, moving is moving I guess... |

Maybe the kid doesn't even know it's his mom, or maybe he's just tired of people touching his face? |

Good to see hes making progress tho Well, I could understand why he would do that, maybe his head is really sensitive to any contact. But its good to see he is finally woken up. |

I think the part that is missing, is that Hulk Hogan is actually paying for the treatment and his hospital stay.

I hate when people touch my face. My family would recognize that as a good sign. Maybe this guy's the same way.
