HULKAMANIA HEARTBREAK: Linda Hogan Mourns Husband's Sudden Passing, Revealing Shocking Secrets and a Bitter Past

The wrestling world is still reeling from the devastating news of Hulk Hogan's passing at 73, but his ex-wife Linda Hogan has finally broken her silence, spilling secrets about their tumultuous marriage and revealing just how hard it's hit her.

In a lengthy statement posted on social media, Linda opened up about her feelings, confessing that she's "melting down" after Hulk's sudden departure. The couple was married from 1983 to 2009, and despite their split, Linda revealed that she still loved the wrestling legend more than anything – even though he cheated on her.

The Hulkster passed away on Thursday at age 73, with reaction coming from around the world

"We all really thought he would make a comeback!" Linda wrote, seemingly referencing Hulk's iconic persona and his penchant for dramatic entrances. "But it was a big surprise." She went on to reveal just how much she adored him during their time together: "I loved Hulkster more than he loved me... I sort of understood that he had many women in his life, but it crushed me."

The 73-year-old's passing has been met with an outpouring of tributes and condolences from fans around the world. However, Linda's family members have been noticeably quiet on social media – except for a cryptic statement from Hulk's estranged son-in-law, former NHL star Steve Oleksy.

Oleksy, who is married to Brooke Hogan (Hulk's daughter), took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the passing of his father-in-law. While he didn't release any official statement, his post hinted at a more private grieving process for the family: "My wife and I have not released an official statement about the death of my father-in-law... We are grieving and processing privately."

Linda's statement also shed light on her complicated past with Hulk, revealing that she was heartbroken when he cheated on her. The couple had two children together – Nick Hogan and Brooke Hogan – but Linda confessed that it took her years to recover from the pain of his infidelity: "I (never) got over him or started a real relationship (with) anyone... I missed HIM! I've been weeping all day."

The wrestling legend's love life has always been a topic of speculation, with multiple marriages and high-profile relationships throughout his career. In 2023, Hulk tied the knot with Sky Daily – just one year after Linda revealed that she was done with love.

But despite her complicated past, Linda made it clear where her heart lies: "I still love him... Even though I never spoke or saw him, Nick did... and Nick would tell me things and vice versa. Just news about life." The emotional statement ended with a heartfelt tribute to the wrestling icon: "I love you Hulkster. You were my man. The only man for me. RIP."

TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Linda and Hulk's divorce was a messy one, with reports of infidelity and financial disputes on both sides. But as it turns out, their complicated history didn't end there.

As fans continue to mourn the loss of a wrestling legend, they're also reminded of the complex web of relationships and emotions that come with fame – and the lasting impact it can have on those who love him most.
