News Around the World of Professional Wrestling

Let’s get things started with news of the Hogans.

• Nick Bollea (Hogan) was given eight months in county jail and five years probation for the accident that he was involved in several months ago and severely injured a passenger in the car and Nick’s best friend, John Graziano. Nick is said to be very happy with the decision as it will not be a felony charge.


• During Nick’s trial, Hulk Hogan admitted that the television show, “Hogan Knows Best” was scripted and that the Nick Hogan on the television show is not the same Nick Bollea in real life and he was told to act a certain way on the show.

In WWE News – Torrie Wilson has been released from the company and it is assumed it’s because of her back injury. WWE.com doesn’t say why she was released. This on the heels of Dave Taylor and Balls Mahoney being released in April as well.
