HULK Hogen Talks about HIS EX-WIFE

Howard asked if Hulk was just pretending to be feuding with Bubba on TNA, so Hulk explained: "That was a shoot. We have stuff that's a work...a shoot is when it really goes down." Hulk went on to say Bubba was a positive addiction to TNA's talent roster--unlike 'Awesome Kong,' the female wrestler who infamously gave Bubba an off-script/on-camera slap. Howard asked if the name 'Awesome Kong' was latently racist, but Hulk balked: "Brother, I didn't name her that."

HULK ON HIS EX-WIFE

Howard wondered if Hulk's ex-wife, Linda, also had to share the cost of the damage from their son's car accident, but Hulk explained: "No, no she doesn't. She's out of the mix. She did some stuff to get herself out of the situation." Hulk said he was glad to have Linda out of his hair.

Hulk told the crew that his marriage was falling apart when Vh1 approached the family to film 'Hogan Knows Best': "It was already unraveling...I was hoping that if Linda got on camera and Linda became a star, that--that marriage that was unraveling, maybe it would pull us back together...but it didn't. It made it worse." The show's final season is a glimpse into that crumbling marriage: "When we hit Miami, it was pretty much over."

HULK ON BROOKE'S LOVE LIFE

Hulk said he was glad to see Brooke had broken up with '$tack$,' her longtime boyfriend: "Mismatch, bro. You know, I fought that fight for so long. And Brooke's 21 now. Up until she was 18, I would bluff these guys. But then, you know, you gotta let these kids make the right choices and hope to God they make the right choices and that was the wrong choice." Howard asked if Hulk would've let Brooke marry the guy, but Hulk denied it: "Nah. I would’ve stepped in and said all that stuff."

MEET HULK'S GIRLFRIEND

Hulk ushered Jennifer, his fiancée, into the studio and Howard was obviously impressed: "You're some tomato." Howard hoped Jennifer was willing to sign a pre-nup, and she nodded: "I'll sign it right here. Right now." Jennifer told the crew that she and Hulk have a fun private life--but Hulk was worried about it becoming public: "I love to be naked. He's worried that people are going to see me." Howard asked Jennifer what it was like when Hulk mounts her, and she laughed: "I feel trapped a little bit. I have to totally submit." Jennifer said things can get really aggressive: "Sometimes…especially if we drink sake." Hulk said he was really happy with Jennifer, as she honors his ban on all 'news' and 'entertainment news' TV shows: "I just don't want to lower the vibe."howardstern.com
