Hulk Hogan, né Terry Bollea, a fait irruption sur la scène de lutte professionnelle à la fin des années 70 et est devenu un champion du monde de lutte à plusieurs reprises. Dès ses humbles débuts, ce géant d'un homme a échappé à une vie pré-ordonnée de quai et de travaux de construction à Port Tampa, en Floride, pour devenir l'une des célébrités les plus reconnaissables de la planète. Il l'a fait grâce à une volonté pure, du courage, de la détermination et une volonté de toujours aller au-dessus et de faire plus que ce que les autres pensaient possible. De l'extérieur, son histoire était celle d'une vie charmante : il était au sommet de sa carrière, avait une famille merveilleuse et aimante, et une base de fans de longue date qui l'adoraient. Bien sûr, il a eu ses hauts et ses bas, y compris des indices d'abus de stéroïdes et sa dispute avec la WWE et Vince McMahon, mais ce sont les deux dernières années qui ont testé Hogan plus que tout autre dans sa vie. En 2007, tout en conduisant le succès massif de son émission de téléréalité VH1, Hogan Knows Best, son fils Nick a été impliqué dans un tragique accident de voiture qui a laissé son meilleur ami dans un état critique. Puis Linda, sa femme, l'a quitté après 23 ans de mariage, sa fille bien-aimée Brooke l'a blâmé pour la rupture et son fils est allé en prison. Les médias tabloïds ont eu une journée sur le terrain. Lorsque des conversations peu flatteuses entre lui et son fils ont été publiées à la presse, les tabloïds étaient dans une frénésie. La tourmente soudaine et la tragédie entourant Hogan ont fait des ravages. Il est tombé dans une profonde dépression, ne voyant aucun moyen de sortir, jusqu'à un appel téléphonique du destin. Dans My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan racontera sans relâche ces événements, révélant comment sa nouvelle clarté trouvée l'a stabilisé pendant le match le plus difficile de sa vie, et comment il est sorti de la bataille se sentant plus fort que jamais.
J'étais juste là, appuyé sur le côté de la voiture avec mes mains quand j'ai enfin vu Nick, mon fils unique, plié comme un accordéon avec sa tête baissée par la pédale d'accélérateur. « Nick! » J'ai crié. Je pouvais voir qu'il était vivant. Il tourna la tête, il sortit sa main et me donna un pouce vers le haut. Pendant une seconde, j'ai été soulagée. Puis le chaos s'installe. Le bruit des moteurs. Sirènes Une scie. Para - les médecins tirant John du siège passager. Tant de sang. Je ne peux même pas vous décrire à quel point j'étais paniqué. La police et les pompiers qui nous entouraient semblaient paniqués aussi. Les pompiers ont commencé à couper le côté de la voiture ouvert pour essayer de sortir Nick, et je suis toujours là quand j'entends mon garçon crier : « Non, non, non, arrête! Arrêtez Tu vas me couper les jambes. Papa ! Il suffit de déboucher la ceinture de sécurité. Je peux sortir! » Alors je tends la main et j'appuie sur le bouton de sa ceinture de sécurité, et Nick rampe tout de suite. Son poignet était cassé. Ses côtes étaient fissurées. Rien de tout cela n'a d'importance. Il allait bien se passer. Mais pas John. John ne bougeait pas. —from MY LIFE OUTSIDE THE RINGLes informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional wrestling scene in the late seventies and went on to become a world wrestling champion many times over. From humble beginnings, this giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of dock and construction work in Port Tampa, Florida, to become one of the most recognizable celebrities on the planet. He did it through sheer will, grit, determination, and a drive to always go over the top and do more than what others thought possible.
From the outside, his story was one of a charmed life - he was at the top of his career, had a wonderful and loving family, and a lifelong fan base who worshipped him. Of course he had his up and downs - including hints of steroid abuse and his falling out with WWE and Vince McMahon - but it's been the last two years that have tested Hogan more than any other in his lifetime.
In 2007, while riding the success of his reality show, Hogan Knows Best, his son Nick was involved in a tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical condition. Then Linda, his wife, left him after 23 years of marriage, his beloved daughter Brooke blamed him for the breakup and his son went to jail. The tabloid media had a field day. The sudden turmoil and tragedy surrounding Hogan took its toll. He fell into a deep depression, seeing no way out, until one fateful phone call.
In My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan will unabashedly recount these events, revealing how his new found clarity steadied him during the most difficult match of his life - and how he emerged from the battle feeling stronger than ever before.

I was right there leaning on the side of the car with my hands when I finally saw Nick--my only son--folded up like an accordion with his head down by the gas pedal. Nick I yelled.

Paramedics pulling John from the passenger seat. So much blood. I can't even describe to you how panicked I was. The police and firefighters surrounding us seemed panicked, too. The firefighters started cutting the side of the car open to try to get Nick out, and I'm still standing right there when I hear my boy screaming, No, no, no, stop Stop You're gonna cut my legs off.
