(Newser) – Hulk Hogan's pro wrestling days were good practice for faking rage, but the anger he feels over his divorce from his wife Linda is all too real, the New York Daily News quotes Hogan telling Rolling Stone. "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat," the Hulk says of his wife's dalliance with a 19-year-old. "I totally understand OJ. I get it."
