Hulk on Divorce: "Holy Smokes"

Wrestling star Hulk Hogan didn't learn of his impending divorce from his soon-to-be ex wife Linda -- but rather from a reporter in Florida. Whoa, brother!

As TMZ first reported, Linda filed the papers on Tuesday. But when called for comment by a St. Petersburg Times reporter, Hulk simply said, "Thank you for the great information," and hung up.

The Hulkster called the paper back five minutes later and said, "I'm kind of shocked ... You caught me off-guard. Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

The couple went through problems on their VH1 reality show, but eventually reconciled.

1. Yuck!

What a horrible way to learn of a divorce.
Perhaps the wife's attorney filed the papers without the wife realizing it. That's possible though not probable.
Poor guy. Even if she lost her love for him, she should show respect to him for the sake of the children.

2. It's sad, actually.

From watching their show it was obvious how much he ADORED her. When they showed them having problems in the marriage it was her that wasn't making sense and was wigging out. Freaking out about nothing. It seemed like she softened when he read the family his heartfelt letter detailing his feelings for her and their kids - and cried like a baby while doing so. I guess it only softened her up temporarily. Really too bad.

4. He can do better

I wasn't too impressed with her. He'll be broke now from the settlement and back in the ring.

She will be running for some office in the Repugnant Party in Florida soon.
