Hulk Hogan's Unattractive Family Under Attack

by celebuzz on Jun. 17, 2008 07:01 AM / 9 Comments

Police are currently investigating voice-mail death threats received by Hulk Hogan and his family in Florida. The caller is reportedly Frank Caruso, half-brother of John Graziano, the 22-year-old marine who was a passenger in Nick Bollea's sports car when it crashed at a high speed, leaving Graziano in a vegetative state.

Clearwater, Florida, police say there is an "open investigaton" into the phone calls, according to TMZ.

The Tampa Tribune reports that Graziano's father, Edward, has confirmed the caller is Frank, his son from his estranged wife's first marriage. Drama in Florida!

The very Sopranos-esque calls were broadcast on the popular local "Bubba the Love Sponge" radio show yesterday morning. Host Bubba, a friend of the Hogans, played the edited calls along with commentary. You can listen to them here. Note, these are NSFW, unless you really want to alarm your boss.

In the two messages, the caller refers to Linda and Brooke Hogan as "whores" and says he is going to "piss on you and your family's grave." And that's the nice portion.

He also repeatedly threatens Nick.

Hulk (aka Terry Bollea) and his family have been subject to public outcry since taped jailhouse calls between Nick and his father in which they appear to be inexplicably blaming John Graziano for the accident were made public.

Hulk then went on Larry King Live to call the tragedy God's attempt to make his son and John Graziano better people.

The Hogans complained about officials releasing their phone calls to the public. This family needs to cancel their phone service and perhaps try letters. The telephone is not their friend lately.

Quotables /

“The messages were played on Bubba the Love Sponge's (?) radio show this morning, and they're beyond pathetic. It's basically some assclown who's seen way too many episodes of "The Sopranos."

The Hulk said some asinine shit, but he deserves a believable death threat that doesn't make me laugh then suddenly crave a meatball sub. I'm talking a dead fish in his mailbox. Or shaving off his mustache in his sleep.

I hope you're writing these gems down, Frank Graziano, and not just polishing your pinky ring with a slice a da pizza.”

The Superficial

“AOL has a copy today of a threatening phone call received by Hulk Hogan and allegedly made by Frank Grazianio, the brother of John Graziano. John, of course, is the young marine who used to be friends with Nick Hogan but has been in a coma ever since Nick drove their car into a palm tree on August 26.

Frank seems angry as hell, as he should be. He promises a lifetime of misery and persecution for the entire Hogan family, which considering how they’ve acted is exactly what they deserve. Vigilante justice gets a bad rap but it shouldn’t in cases like this. If I were on the jury and Frank was on trial because he beat up Nick I would announce a verdict of "High Five!"”

“Oh, man, those crazy Hogans have done it again! This time Hulk stopped by "Larry King Live" for an emotional interview about his son Nick's imprisonment.

At the end of the interview, a teary-eyed Hulk remained positive that Nick's accident happened for a divine reason and then expressed his belief that John Graziano's coma would make him "a better person."”

The Superficial

“As if there was any real doubt, Hulk Hogan was lying last night on "Larry King Live." He claimed he said what he did on those jailhouse tapes because he had been going crazy for almost a month, with almost no sleep, while his son was on the brink of madness in solitary confinement. Hulk said…

"... solitary confinement, most hardened criminals unravel after two or three days, Nick survived in there for 28-29 days. During that period of time, while I’m sitting there, 28-29 days, with hardly any sleep, I did everything I could…"

And he just kind of rambles on after that, but here’s the point: Nick Hogan began his jail sentence on May 9. In the lawsuit filed by the Hogans against the Pinellas County Sheriffs Department for releasing the phone calls, page 2, line 17 says:

"Between May 10, 2008, and May 21, 2008, Defendant, in an unprecedented action, released to the media approximately 26 hours of Bolleas recorded telephone calls with his family."

This means the tapes were made as early as the very first day. At the very most Nick was in jail 11 days before Hulk said what he did. I'm not good with numbers, but I'm pretty sure 29 is way more than 1.”

“Hulk Hogan tried to give his side to the famous jailhouse tapes, on which Hogan and his family essentially blame John Grazianao for going into a coma (that kid is a jerk!) Hogan comes off better last night than he did in the tapes but at one point he does insist that this was all part of gods plan to make Nick and John better people. Keep in mind John Grazianno will never open his eyes again.

To recap, Hulk raised a spoiled fuckup, and John was a negative person, so god killed John to make up for Hulks failure as a parent. Because ours is a vengeful god, who will smite all those who do not make him happy, and Nick Hogan is his instrument of death.

In hindsight, maybe Hulk should just shut the fuck up from now on.”

The Hogans are lucky that they are only getting a few phone calls after the way they reacted to this unfortunate situation.
