Hulk Hogan, without a doubt, stands as one of the most iconic figures in professional wrestling. With his superstar status established in the 1980s and 1990s, Hogan faced numerous challenges that came with being a pro wrestler during that era. In fact, his ex-wife once accused him of having a gay affair with a pro wrestling legend.
Despite Hogan’s long-standing success in the industry, his reputation was tarnished in 2015 when racist remarks he made were publicly revealed. The tapes caused a major controversy and Hogan’s image has not fully recovered since.
Hulk Hogan married his first wife Linda back in 1983. The two remained together for 25 years until their divorce back in 2009. However, when they were still married, she accused him of having a gay affair with Brutus Beefcake.
While speaking during an interview, Hulk Hogan revealed that it happened after Beefcake had a parasailing accident in 1990. When she saw the blonde head, Hogan’s ex-wife’s grandmother thought he was performing a sexual act on Beefcake.
“I think the worst rumor that I ever heard about myself was my wife accused me of having an affair with Bruce ‘Barber’ Beefcake. It’s a crazy story. It was right after Brutus’ parasailing accident and Brutus had to sleep in a chair, straight up with his head packed in ice. And Brutus had this really good-looking girlfriend. And I guess while everybody was sleeping, Brutus called her over and all of a sudden my ex-wife’s grandmother came downstairs and she saw this blonde head going up and down on Brutus’ lap. This blonde head was giving Brutus oral sex.
The next morning when I came down for breakfast, Linda’s whole family was mad at me and I couldn’t figure it out. The grandmother Nini goes, ‘I saw you giving Brutus oral sex!’ They thought it was my blonde head, but it was really Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake’s girlfriend, so that without a doubt is the worst rumor I’ve ever heard about myself. My ex-wife accused me for years and years and years of being gay with Brutus. Then after that she accused me and Bubba of being gay.”
Hulk Hogan also seemingly joined the Church of Scientology recently. He also appeared on last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW and suffered an embarrassing botch. We’ll have to see what’s next in store for Hulk Hogan.
