RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Sports and Wrestling Hogan says that Nick's friend pissed off God...

After several taped phone conversations between Nick Hogan and his family were leaked to the media, showing complete disregard for the Grazianos, the traumatized family issues the following statements:

"It was a true Academy Award performance. These people [the Bolleas] are the biggest phonies and two-faced individuals that I've ever seen," said the victim's mother.

The Graziano father also told TMZ the following when he heard Nick had plans to turn his situation in to a reality show where he wants to make "a lot of money."

"They don't care a bit about my son, all they are doing is planning a party. The reason he (Nick) was put in jail is to think about what he did to my son."

It's a good thing Hulk Hogan's reality show is no longer on the air. They'd most likely have to change the title from "Hogan Knows Best" to something along the lines of "Hogan Doesn't Have A Clue."

Unlike the world of pro wrestling, where characters and storylines are in the relatively safe hands of fantasy writers, Terry Bollea, aka the Hulkster, has found his life of late exposed for the world to see. And it's not very pretty.

Also unlike the world of pro wrestling, Hogan is finding it increasingly difficult to spin the situation and manipulate the media. He's been a master at that aspect his entire wrestling career, but even Hogan hasn't been able to play the press this time around.

The latest sordid chapter in the ongoing Hogan family saga, of which there have been many, is the release of the Nick Hogan prison tapes. Hogan's 17-year-old son recently was sentenced to eight months in jail after pleading no contest to reckless driving stemming from an incident last August. The passenger in his car, John Graziano, was left with a much harsher sentence — confined to a lifetime of medical care with massive brain damage and in a permanent vegetative state.

Authorities say Hogan was street racing his father's modified 1998 Toyota Supra when he struck a curb, spun in traffic and slammed into a palm tree near downtown Clearwater, Fla. Hogan, who was not seriously hurt, had alcohol in his system at the time of the crash.

Graziano, a 22-year-old former U.S. Marine who already had served two tours of duty in Iraq, made the mistake of getting in a car with a teenager who had spent his free time compiling an ugly driving record — four speeding tickets racked up in the past year alone — while snubbing his nose at authority. About two weeks before the accident, he was nabbed for driving 82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone and cited for speeding and not wearing a seat belt.

Young Hogan had even boasted about talking his way out of tickets in an interview he gave to a car magazine.

"Speeding to Nick was a badge of honor," Graziano's mother, Debbie, said during the recent court hearing.

Hulk Hogan, though, has consistently denied suggestions that his beleaguered son's bad driving record and affinity for racing may have been to blame for the crash. Even mom Linda Hogan encouraged her young son's street racing.

"Oh, I love it. I love it," she once said. "The rush, the speed on the road, stereo-blasting, heart-pounding, racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."

His mom even bought him a car to work on when he was just 14. The license plate was COEHSP. "Capable of eluding high-speed pursuit," the youth told a reporter at the time.

"Nick is not the person that he's been asked to be portrayed on TV. … Nick is a good person," argued Hulk Hogan, who allegedly bought alcohol that his son allegedly drank on the day of the crash. " He is kind, he is gentle, he's compassionate, and he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. And people fail to realize that Nick is still a 17-year-old child."

Yet young Nick, who should have been the focus of better parenting skills, still got the green light to get behind the wheels of his fancy car.

It's the constant attention, adulation and power that drives this family. It's also what has caused its downfall.

The recent capturing of jailhouse conversations between Nick Hogan and his family has again put the Hogans in the familiar spotlight. While there's no doubt they were caught off guard by the release of the tapes to the media, the sentiments expressed during these conversations are sadly revealing.

A weeping Nick Hogan tells his parents that he is "really freaking out" behind bars and begs them to ask the judge to put him under "house arrest."

Complaining about the accommodations during his daily phone visits with his family, Nick says, "It's much worse than you could ever imagine. This is like a state prison. I'm all by myself." "Don't cry, baby," his mom tells him.

Hogan can be heard telling his dad that he wants to turn up for a court hearing in his jail jumpsuit "for the sympathetic factor."

That conversation is part of 26 hours of jailhouse tape released by the Pinellas (Fla.) County Sheriff's Department. Jailhouse phone conversations are typically recorded, except in the case of phone conversations between an attorney and his client, which are viewed as privileged. Other conversations can be considered part of the public record and become available to the media or any other person who may request them. Inmates repeatedly are warned that their calls may be recorded.

In another recorded conversation which was leaked, Linda, Hulk's soon-to-be-ex, is critical of John Graziano's mother, claiming her grief is greater than that of the victim's family.

"(Debbie) has no other recourse other than to be nasty and vindictive now, because if she really knew you, if she really knew the relationship between you, John and (another friend), she'd be sad right now.

"She wouldn't be mad. You know, she'd be devastated like I am. She's not sad; she's just acting angry, like she wants some money. John never meant anything to her or Ed. It's sad because I really appreciated you kids, and I miss John. I miss you, too. She's not suffering. I am. I have the loss."

A whining Nick Hogan tells his parents in the tapes that "I want to breathe fresh air." He says, "I'd do anything to get out of this room."

Instead of using the incarceration as a wake-up call, the Hogans seem more concerned about coming up with a new way to cash in on the misfortune.

At one point, Nick Hogan even asks his father to hook him up with a new reality show "where I can make the most money."

"We can call it 'the new Nick,'" Hulk responds, advising his son to use his jail time to come up with a name for a new money-making entertainment vehicle. "Don't freak out," he tells him, suggesting that the possible producers of the show be himself, Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey.

"You know, if I'm producing the show, I won't screw you," Hogan assures his jailed son. "You know that. I'll make you an owner. You'll own the show. So let me get to working on that with Eric tonight. He's here, too. We can get that pulled off, too."

The narcissistic family even goes so far as to blame the semi-conscious victim. At one point, Hulk says, "For some reason God laid some heavy s--- on (Graziano)." Nick describes Graziano, described in the court hearing as his best friend, as a "negative person."

The family of John Graziano has rightfully expressed outrage over the conversations. Incensed over what they say is a clear lack of remorse on the part of the Hogan family, the parents have condemned the "outrageous conduct" exhibited by the Hogans during the jail conversations.

The Grazianos also have responded to the Linda Hogan comment by stating, "They don't care a bit about my son, all they are doing is planning a party."

A statement released by the Grazianos through their lawyer said the jailhouse conversations show that the Hogan family's contrite and subdued statements to the court at the sentencing hearing were insincere.

"These tapes clearly show what the Bolleas said in court was calculated to give the court the impression that Nick deserved a break.

It was a true Academy Award performance. They (the Hogan family) spoke of their love for John and they expressed how sorry they were, but their true feelings have now been revealed in the tapes."

"These people, the Bolleas (Hogans), are the biggest phonies and two-faced individuals that I've ever seen," the statement quotes Debra Graziano as saying.

The Grazianos also have blasted the Hogans for trying to cash in on their grief.

"Nick Bollea and Terry Bollea are already planning a new reality show. Cameras are set to film Nick Bollea as he is released from jail and while he serves his probation."

"The reason he (Nick) was put in jail is to think about what he did to my son. (But) that's the last thought on his mind," says Ed Graziano.

The Graziano family has filed a civil suit against Terry and Linda Bollea (Hulk and Linda Hogan), alleging they are liable for their son's actions. "I'm not seeking revenge, only justice," says Debbie Graziano.

"John was everything I hoped and dreamed he could be," says John Graziano. "He was healthy, safe and strong, and a hero. A United States Marine and a hero to his county ... However, on Aug. 26, 2007, everything changed because of the senseless acts of recklessness by Nick Bollea ... Not only did he destroy my son's life, but also those that John loved. What al-Qaida couldn't do to my son, Bollea did in minutes."

The self-absorbed Hogan family's fascination with fame — despite the consequences — remains boundless. VH1 announced last week that wannabe-pop star Brooke Hogan's "Brooke Knows Best" spin-off will premiere on July 13. "No longer an innocent teenager, Brooke learns what growing up is really about," according to a network press release. "For the first time, Brooke is learning how to deal with the ins and outs of daily life, new relationships, of her family's recent struggles, as well as managing her career and finances without Mom and Dad."

PINELLAS COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- An attorney for Nick Bollea says his current confinement is unfair.

In a motion filed in Pinellas County Court, Kevin Hayslett says Bollea is serving a "much harsher confinement than acceptable for a juvenile or non-violent first offender."

Hayslett is asking that Bollea serve house arrest until he turns 18 and then be turned back over to the custody of the Pinellas County Jail. Or he asks that if Bollea must stay in jail let him leave solitary confinement.

He says Bollea is being kept in solitary confinement, which "creates a mental and physical health risk to a 17-year-old."

Bollea will turn 18 July 27.

But the attorney's for the jail say, "Mr. Bollea is properly classified as an adult offender having pled and been sentenced as an adult and is being housed correctly pursuant to (Florida law) related to children convicted of such adult offenses."

Bollea was in jail for less than three hours before he called his mother complaining.Watch Video

"I have to get a work release," Bollea said. "Or we have to appeal it or something because I can't stay here."

The motion also references the jail phone calls that Nick made to his mother and father, which were recently released to the media, saying it "resulted in unspeakable harm to Nicholas Bollea and his family."

On the tape recording, it's obvious to the family that their calls were being recorded.

After a message is heard saying the calls may be recorded or monitored, Nick's mom, Linda Bollea, says "Well, hopefully they won't put the conversation that they tape on Bay News 9 like they do everything else around here," she said.Watch Video

In the motion Nick's attorneys also reference the exclusive Bay News video of the Bolleas visiting Nick in jail last week.

During that visit Nick raised his middle finger toward Bay News 9's camera.

Bollea entered a no contest plea May 9 for felony reckless driving with series bodily injury. He was sentenced to 8 months in jail.

The charges stemmed from a car accident August 26 in Clearwater. Bollea's Toyota Supra hit a palm tree, which left his passenger and friend, John Graziano, with severe brain injuries.

Graziano's attorneys say they're against any change in Nick's probation and they'd be horrified if he gets any more leniency.

State Attorney Scott Rosenwasser said it's up to the judge on whether he wants to hold a hearing on the motion. Currently there's not one scheduled.

I'm not familiar with your prison system, but wouldn't solitary confinement be better than going to federal fuck me in the ass prison?

I was about to say, you want to punish him, put him in Gen-Pop with the rest of the freaks....

unless youre Halo...

"He's bigger than me, but I was holding him, It's hard to get out of the position when you grab them from behind.
