Hulk Hogan sells his name and his trademark to...

[Snitsky]

Eric Bischoff,

Linda Hogan's lawyers are taking another vicious swing at Hulk, because Linda says he's purposely sold his many trademarks -- including his wrestling names -- to his best friend to keep her greedy cougar paws off the profits In a pile of papers filed in Pinellas County Court, Linda says Hulk handed over the rights to his Hulk Hogan brands (like Hollywood Hulk, Hulkster, Hulkamania), grill, energy drink and more to his best friend Eric Bischoff for an insane discount. Linda's pissed because these are tons of assets she now can't cash in on.

Hulk's attorney, David Houston, told us: "There has been no siphoning of money -- if Linda has to ask again, we'll be more than happy to provide the same answer."

Linda's also trying to keep Hulk's handlebar mustache the hell away from her mother -- because the Hulkster is convinced Linda's been sending their old furniture (from her many remodels of their Florida home) to mommy dearest to keep ... and he wants 'em back.

Any chance there's a VH1 crew gettin this stuff on camera?

It'll make for a great sitcom one day

This is one of those really sad and petty divorces that you just hate to see, yet can't help but be amused by.

I don't know which is better--this or Madonna/Ritchie.

Considering all the Bisch has done for Hogan, I am surprised that he didn't have at least part ownership before this.

Good. The less Linda gets, the better.

I believe the first thing they teach you in journalism school is that it's fair reporting to write things like "greedy cougar paws."

All the old WWF videos that at the end said "Hulk Hogan", "Hulkster" and "Hulkamania" are legal trademarks of Marvel Comics have to be re released to say "Hulk Hogan", "Hulkster" and "Hulkamania" are legal trademarks of Eric Bischoff.

No, Hogan got tired of the copyright issues a few years ago and purchased the rights to his name.

TMZ shouldn't count as journalism.

Lindas a bitch. She needs to get a damn job herself. Has she ever worked? She never even took care of the kids.

[VenomFang]

Why didnt he sell them to Knobbs or Beefcake instead ? Oh wait, I think we know the answer to that.

Because Knobbs and Beefcake would have sold all of it for a huge sandwich?

Linda is garbage for trying to steal everything Hulk as earned over all the years he's put his body through hell while she did nothing but sit at home eating twinkies. She's already got enough to set up a normal person for life without ever doing anything again. What a greedy witch. I hope she gets nothing.

That does seem like a swipe (pun not intended) at Linda. but remember, she did get some illegal black market surgery to get those Cougar Paws attached.

Oh, the things you can buy in Paraguay.

To be fair, Linda was with him for around 25 years. Let's not make it seem like she's some girl who only married for money (Anna Nicole Smith). When your husband is the most recognized wrestler in the world, she shouldn't need to or have to work.

She shaved the man's back - isn't that enough?

i fail to see how hulk hogan only selling for his friends is news.

[NOwave]

I'd let Linda paw me like the greedy cougar that she is.

[Bobby Womack]

ever since i saw linda on hogan knows best screaming at someone trying to sue her for something like a grand that "i wipe my ass with that" in the trashiest way possible, i suspected she had these tendencies
