"just the way the media jumped on my son and just the way they portrayed him. from my gut, it's something that has torn two families apart, and we're just so close to john's family. "the star of vh1's hogan knows best gave the interview while promoting the kickoff of the national wave program, a charity initiative sponsored by the freedom group of america encouraging americans to rally together in a simultaneous towel-waving event on the fourth of july to demonstrate the nation's unity.  hogan, who is the chief spokesperson for the campaign, became very emotional as he recalled that fateful day."we were going to get something to eat and nick paged me and said, 'dad, i want to go early because we don't have a table at the restaurant,' " recalled the wrestling legend.  "as i was going down our normal route...i saw this yellow car all twisted—and bam—it was my car. "added hogan: "when i saw the wreck i didn't think anybody was alive. i thought no one could have lived through a wreck like that."nick was behind the wheel of hulk's yellow toyota supra sports car on aug. 26, driving along four-lane highway in downtown clearwater, when the vehicle jumped a raised median, spun out of control and slammed into a palm tree.he and graziano were subsequently extracted from the car by firefighters, treated on the scene by paramedics, then airlifted to bayfront medical center in nearby st. petersburg.hogan, whose birth name is terry bollea, said his son was "hanging in there" after suffering non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken arm, some broken ribs and neck and knee problems. graziano, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky and remains in critical condition.  last week, the tampa tribune quoted his grandmother as saying there's a chance the veteran, who is in a coma, may have suffered brain damage. doctors have so far been unable to operate due to brain swelling.various media outlets meanwhile have since characterized the two pals as adrenaline junkies with an interest in fast cars—pointing, for instance, to bollea's myspace blogs about "working [his] way into the drifting world" and boning up on his skills in hopes of participating in a formula race. send it close send to a friend check your e-mail, your friend's e-mail and message text are filled correctly your friend's email: your email: message: 500 characters left   send 1 | 2 | next printerfriendly doug murray/wireimage.com photos related stories (3) expand hogan son a speed demon? wed aug 29 15:46:19 pdt 2007 18 comments hogan son home after car crash mon aug 27 10:11:58 pdt 2007 11 comments brooke hogan's "prom" invite revoked fri oct 13 15:53:33 pdt 2006 2 comments related topics (4) expand disses courthouse busted crashes read comments (15) expand expand all | collapse all hmm. okay. what was l... hmm. okay. what was linda bollea doing while all of this was going on? it's sunday and a family day. she does live in a mansion. she doesn't work outside of the house. why wasn't she preparing a family meal in their huge, gourmet kitchen on a relaxing sunday evening?  zordar on 09/06/2007 22:33pm report abuse it's so easy to judge... it's so easy to judge others when your not standing in their shoes.i'm sure their is a lot that has not been released to the public because it simply isn't any of our business. just because we see them on tv and we "think we know them" doesn't give us the right to judge. i have a 17 year old son, he doesn't always make the right decisions. although i would like to believe that we have taught him right from wrong...safety and caution. no one was there we didn't see it happen so why try and point the finger. as i see it terry and linda are doing what any parent should do and stand by and up for their child. they are doing what is right for all involved. i think that we really should look in our own backyard before we start throwing trash in someone else. pinkkstarr on 09/05/2007 5:59am report abuse i agree with exhauste... i agree with exhaustedmom. terry and linda bollea should be the "poster children" for enablers of super-spoiled and selfish teenage children. "brooke having a bad daysy-waysy? here, buttercup, have $20,000 and go on shopping trip." "nicky-wicky having a bad day? here, nicky-wicky, have $20,000 and go drive around town like a demon in one of daddy-waddy's cars." this kid bragged about his speeding in a national magazine, for heaven's sakes. if my kid did that, the car keys would be completely hidden and off-limits! i pray that his passenger makes a full and healthy recovery from his injuries. if not, i hope the bollea family pays every penny necessary to ensure that he has a comfortable and privileged life.  zordar on 09/04/2007 21:46pm report abuse oh, no, no - no!! no... oh, no, no - no!! not my son!! not my little boy!! we simple do not tolerate being compared to the mere mortals of this earth. terry bollea, aka hulk hogan, can you say, "father in complete denial?" exhaustedmom on 09/04/2007 17:00pm report abuse 4 speeding tickets in... 4 speeding tickets in a year, and the boy is only 17. the family should have taken care of the problem right from the start. have you seen the pictures from the crash? that wasn't a little fender bender. you get something like that from speed. now hogan thinks he can buy his son out of trouble. the son needs to be held accoutable for his actions. same as anyone else.  rubberducky0311 on 09/04/2007 16:53pm report abuse a parent should stand... a parent should stand by their children, but they should also hold the son responsible for his actions. 4 speeding ticket in a year. their son is only 17. they should have taken control of the problem right away. and have you seen pictures of the car wreck? that wasn't just a little fender bender.  rubberducky0311 on 09/04/2007 16:48pm report abuse of course the ****** ... of course the ****** kid was speeding excessively. you have to be an idiot to believe otherwise. and parents should stand by their kids, but how about doing some parenting? the kid ****** up repeatedly. now someone's life is basically extinct due to enabling. too bad. dudeny on 09/04/2007 16:31pm report abuse i agree that a parent... i agree that a parent should stand by their kid but not to the point of acting like they didn't do anything wrong. time will tell when the law enforcement investigators decide to release the details as they see them. i do hope and pray the young marine gets well it sounds like their family probably can't handle too much more grief. deedub on 09/04/2007 16:08pm report abuse guilty..of 'chasing a... guilty..of 'chasing another vehicle, sorry but this is a law violation' exceeding the speed limit to the point of losing control and crashing... "for any other non-celebrity this would be a 'chargeable' offense. maybe nick is 'deservedly' suffering remorse for his remarkable stupidity! he may well have destroyed his friends life because of his childish actions. a judge should take into his decision the repeated abuses of the law, and the blatant arrogance of celebrity offspring... papa hogan needs a reality check..their family is not above the law... shutup, and quit meddling in the investigation, and get on his knees and beg forgiveness from the graziano family! marbear on 09/04/2007 15:59pm report abuse so do you who so easi... so do you who so easily judge feel better crucifying nick's actions without really knowing all the facts? must be jealousy. jusdane on 09/04/2007 15:58pm report abuse i agree that hulk is ... i agree that hulk is being a good parent. did u see that mrs. graziano (spelling?) said that the hogans were supporting them in every way, including financial? that is being responsible. we all make mistakes. who am i and/or who are you to cast a stone? just my opinion. happy2bgina on 09/04/2007 15:54pm report abuse were you there? becau... were you there? because i know i wasn't. a good father does teach their children what is right and wrong but they also don't turn their backs on them when they do something wrong. he is standing behind his son and that is good. as far as excessive speed that could mean 65 in a 55 zone, i am sure he was going faster then that but have they even said yet. and you don't have to be going 100 to jump a curb. the witnesses that were there and talked to the cops said they didn't see him racing another car, i would believe them before the people talking to the gossip mags. plus i am sure that almost killing his best friend and himself in the accident will get him thinking. ufcfan on 09/04/2007 15:33pm report abuse hogan doesn't know be... hogan doesn't know best. i used to like hulk hogan back in the day. but now i think he is a fool. his son should be responsible for his actions. 4 speeding violations in a year for any kid is 4 too many. and on top of that a active duty u.s. marine is badly hurt. semper fi to all marines out there. i hope the law comes down hard on hogans son. i am disappointed that the hogans seem to think that it's ok for there son to be speeding all over the place. i wonder how they will feel if he kills somebody. i wont watch hogan knows best anymore. hogan isn't all that smart dealing with his kids. rubberducky0311 on 09/04/2007 15:27pm report abuse hulk calls this an ac... hulk calls this an accident. wrong! driving at the speed limit and getting into a wreck is an accident. drive excessivly over the speed limit is not an accident. wasabee on 09/04/2007 15:23pm report abuse "when the vehicle jum... "when the vehicle jumped a raised median, spun out of control and slammed into a palm tree." sorry, but how can a car - doing at or near the speed limit - jump a raised median? with this kid's history of speeding, how can hulk defend him? a real father would teach his kids responsibility for their actions! oh...my bad...these are celebrity kids - they're taught that they aren't responsible for anything!  dayle2 on 09/04/2007 15:21pm report abuse add your comments expand login now to add your comments! email: submit keep me signed in password: forgot your password | register   rss | newsletters | e! international use of this site signifies your acceptance of the privacy policy and terms of use copyright 2007 e! entertainment television, inc. all rights reserved.
