"If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting," he says of rumors they split to protect their assets

Body

Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea are embroiled in a nasty divorce, but the WWE wrestler revealed Friday, he wishes they were still married.

“As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife,” Hogan told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos.

After 23 years of marriage, Bollea, 48, surprised Hogan, 54, last November by filing for divorce. (He learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.)

Hogan shot down rumors that he and Bollea parted ways to protect their assets after a law suit was filed by the family of the boy permanently injured in their son Nick Bollea's car wreck.

“If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting," Hogan said. “For me to be able to handle… my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess we’ve got a pretty good act going on ‘cause that’s a lot to take on."

According to Hogan, the divorce was Bollea's idea.

“It wasn’t an argument, it was, ‘Hey, I don’t love you, I don’t want to be with you, I don’t want to see you anymore.’ It was the real deal,” Hogan told Menounos.

Since then, the two have been engaged in a messy legal war.

“Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I’ve ever run into," Hogan recently told Usmagazine.com.

"You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots, tripping people up. I’ve never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!" he added. "I guess I taught her well.”

How long will they be battling in court?

“This is a simple divorce – there’s no custody, there’s just a big pile of junk that we’ve accumulated. We should split it," Hogan told Menounos."But my wife's lawyer has told different magazines there’s gonna be a war."

Hogan continued, “This is the money that I saved for my family, and money that Linda could walk away with, money that I saved for my children, that they’re just, they’re just wasting [it] and burning [it] up.”

It's her brother's birthday – and Brooke Hogan will cry if she wants to.

The 20-year-old lashed out at "stupid people of the press" on her MySpace blog for claiming she skipped her sib Nick Bollea's 18th birthday behind bars on Sunday.

She seethed:

Heres how stupid and inaccurate the media can be...
According to the press I didn't show up to my brothers 18th birthday at the jail.
Lets see...
*hes in jail
*Its an important birthday...the big 18!!!
*I'm only a 4 hour drive to Tampa
*He's the most important thing in my life.

They must have thought I didn't show cause they didn't SEE me.

Sunday served as a reunion for the Hogan clan, as Hulk and his estranged wife Linda — whom he recently dubbed "the most formidable opponent I've ever encountered" — visited their son in jail.

Nick — who is behind bars for a car crash that critically injured his best friend John Graziano — has been moved to the central division jail for adults where he will be housed with up to 71 other adult men.

Hulk Hogan: Ex-Wife "Most Formidable Opponent I’ve Ever" Had

"I've never seen anybody in the business who has more dirty tricks than she does," Hogan tells Us

Body

WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan says he has fought a lot of bad guys in his day.

Who takes the title?

Ex-wife Linda Bollea!

“Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I’ve ever run into," he tells Usmagazine.com.

"You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots,
tripping people up. I’ve never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!" he adds. "I guess I taught her well.”

After 23 years of marriage, Linda, 48, surprised Hogan, 54, last November by filing for divorce. (He learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.)

Since then, the two have been embroiled in a messy war.

See photos of Hollywood's ugliest splits.

On June 30, Linda filed papers alleging that he "relentlessly and methodically" stalks her, "causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times." (His lawyer has called the claim "pure fantasy.")

They also have clashed over assets (she recently accused him of not paying his share of their $4.2 million Las Vegas condo).

Brooke Hogan, who feuded with her father earlier this year after he dated one of her pals, is no longer on speaking terms with her mother, who is romancing one of her 19-year-old former classmates.

"I'm totally freaked out," Brooke said of the relationship.

Hulk Hogan's Son Transferred Out of Solitary Confinement

Nick Bollea is now in a communal cell with three other juvenile inmates

Body

Hulk Hogan's son has been transferred out of solitary confinement at a west Florida jail, the Associated Press reports.

Nick Bollea, 17 — who is behind bars for eight months after pleading no contest to causing a crash that critically injured his friend — is now in a communal cell with three other juvenile inmates.

Bollea — who is also suing the sheriff's office for releasing tapes of his jail conversations — was originally segregated from other inmates because he is a minor.

On Tuesday, a judge denied a transfer request from Bollea's lawyers, who claimed the solitary confinement was "cruel and unusual punishment."

A Pinellas County Sheriff's Office rep made no reference to the legal matter when asked about Bollea's move.

The rep said housing assignments are routinely reviewed because the jail's population constantly changes.
