msn.foxsports.com/buzzer/story/hulk-hogan-was-suicidal-after-reality-show-canceled-112113Hulk Hogan revealed he contemplated suicide at his lowest point as his marriage was crumbling and his reality TV career was ending. "Everything got dark, everything happened at once," Hogan said this week on "Oprah: Where are they now?". "I was drinking alcohol very heavily. It just all kept piling up, it all kept mounting and mounting I didn't know how to handle it. I always wondered how could someone possibly take their own life and so I got to that point where I said, 'You know what, maybe this would be easy. You know, maybe this would be an easy way to fix things.'" The former wrestling star's reality show "Hogan Knows Best" was canceled in 2007, the same year his son Nick was in a DUI crash in Hogan's car that sent the teenager to jail for eight months. Hogan says the moment that changed his life came in a chance encounter with fans on New Year's Eve. "I was with my family and a bunch of my friends at a table," he said. "And there's a bunch of negativity about the food being bad, you know the champagne didn't work, even though it was all consumed. And when I walked outside, some kid ran up and hugged me and was like, 'Oh I grew up watching you. I didn't have a dad, you're like a dad to me.' And there was another person that said 'Hey Hulk, we love you.'" "And I went, 'Oh my God', it was right then. I didn't understand what was going on, but it hit me that there's clean air and that there's dirty air. And once I walked back inside again, I realized I couldn't take it anymore. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I got sick and tired of the hating, the negativity, the verbal abuse, just everything that I was hearing." He added: "I now realize I had to go through all this stuff to be who I am today." Hogan divorced his wife Linda and married girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel a year later. Now 60, he's currently semi-retired.

He'd say anything to make a headline. In a week just when you haven't heard anything about Hogan for 7 days, he'll say that he's openly gay.
Two weeks from now, Hulk's new sextape with Bubba the Love sponge leaks.
Three weeks, Hulk stars in a XXX movie with Chyna.
Four weeks, none of that was true, Hulk enters a rehab reality show on E!

I thought Laila Ali saved him from suicide? That was his original story. Now it's the random fan. Next it'll be the Ghost of Andre the Giant. Hogan's gone beyond kayfabe. The man is incapable of telling the truth in any situation these days. |

'You know what, maybe this would be easy. You know, maybe this would be an easy way to fix things.' That's when I considered Suicide and made him the X-Division champion. Boy was that a mistake."

It's just Hogan being Hogan--nothing wrong with it.

In fairness to Hogan, this is one of the only things to come out of his mouth that doesn't get more and more exaggerated as the years go on. He was going to commit suicide to beat death in the ring as the main event in purgatory wrestlemania. He was then going to body slam satan and claim the title lord of the underworld. |

I'm glad that Hulk didn't off himself. I don't like some of the things that he's done but at the end of the day Hulk Hogan's still the man.

There is no line between his character & his real self. His personal life was sacrificed when he became the top face in wrestling. Did he contemplate suicide for a while? I wouldn't doubt it. There were a lot of things going on in his life that Hulkamania couldn't overcome, it was up to Terry to overcome them. I sincerely hope he is happy & in a better place mentally. |

He revealed this some time ago, idk why they bring it up now like its a revelation. Wait, yes I do. There's not much news out there. I hate that he went through this though
I doubt he blames the cancellation of his reality show though. It's impossible to get THAT depressed

on the one hand, Hogan's always been an attention whore so it could just be bullshit.
on the other hand, a lot of really bad things happened to him right around the same time (that back surgery couldn't have been a picnic either) so he could be telling the truth, and if so I'm glad he didn't do it.
it's kinda sad though that he lacks credibility so badly that instead of immediately sympathizing with him we're immediately skeptical, though. that's Carnies for you, I guess.

I think most fans generally sympathize with Hogan--he just gets a bad wrap from some segments because he understood that being successful means that you have to push yourself above all others. It's not a team sport. He comes across as exceedingly fake sometimes, but he's really just a bullshitter--which is different. Most wrestlers have pretty good things to say about him, even the ones that didn't like him so much. |

He slammed suicide in front of 90 million people, brother. His depression was gone only three days later.

As someone who's attempted suicide before, I'm slightly sad about people here's attitude to him saying this.

I really think this is the kind if thing people should keep to themselves.
I feel more sorry for the guy crippled by Hulk's idiot son.
