The Graziano Family Is Threatening the Hogan Family

Really?

What took them so long?

Clearwater police are investigating threatening phone calls made by a member of John Graziano’s family to the family of Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, according to Clearwater police spokesman Doug Matthews.

Matthews could not say which member of the Graziano family allegedly made the threats; nor could he say which member of the Bollea family received them.

Morris “Sandy” Weinberg, an attorney for Nick Bollea, 17, who is serving a jail sentence on a charge of reckless driving with serious driving bodily injury, confirmed that the police had listened to the threatening voicemails.

“Does the family take it seriously?” he asked. “Yes, they do.”

This is probably related to Hulk Hogan going on Larry King and talking about how the crash that left him permanently vegetative was really the best thing for John Graziano. But if I were the Graziano family, I would have started the threatening a long long time ago, like when the Hogan family started blabbing about how this is John’s own fault since he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Like, yeah, Hulk, John should have been wearing a seatbelt, and your teenage son should have been supervised and sober and not driving a ridiculously souped-up vehicle that you paid for after drinking beer you bought him. But we all make mistakes.

  • ok so this has nothing to do with the hogans, just a doubt why wont any paparazzi takes pictures of perez hilton mom or sister so we can all mock them and make him pay , just sayin

  • The Hogan’s are desperately trying to get another reality show, VH1 is not really biting. All of this publicity for these lame asses is to get more attention and money, there were probably no calls from his family – they just want to make their lives seem interesting so they get that contract. If they have to drag that boys parents thru the dirt to do it — well tough shit. Who really thinks being in a coma is your karma because you were a negative person? Not the drunk dumbass you raised to drive drunk and street race. John’s family is suing them for zillions, and they will get it too. Nick is guilty.

    This is all about replenishing the Bollea bank account at the expense of a kid who had to have the top of his skull removed. Hogan is a pig, a greedy pig. Pic link below:

  • How could ANYONE see that kid in that condition and come up with the conclusion that, in any way, shape or form, he asked for it? Who even thinks like this? Who could deny that they themselves caused this living death and this continuing misery for his whole family?

    I used to think the Hogans were just stupid, spoiled and arrogant. Now I think they are evil. Strike that. I KNOW they are.

  • Understatement but I hope they’re sued and taken for EVERYTHING. I want to see a pathetic “estate” sale (fancy way of saying a garage sale or something sad on eBay) where they have to sell everything, his old wrestling belts, their tanning beds, all her gaudy jewelry, EVERY FUCKING THING IN THEIR HOUSE. And it’s an auction so they have to take what they can get.

    I’d watch the reality show on that.

  • @ persistant cat: me too! a bunch of friends would come over, we’d make martinis and laugh our asses off at THAT hogan reality show! what a bunch of morally bankrupt douchebags they are.

  • Just seeing that poor kids pic after the accident breaks my heart…the Hogan/Bollea family are a bunch of low life fucktards. Seeing that bleached blonde freak Hulk pretend to cry on larry king seriously…I hope that whomever is calling and threatening them carries through with it because they are a waste of air…stick that in your tanning beds you freak family of douche nozzles….rot in hell.

  • I’m not into things like the death penalty, nor am I interested in watching a young kid who f’ed up sit in a jail sell. Do yourselves a favor and look at the bigger picture.

    Teenager with crap for brains screws up big time – his friend will never wake up, and he’s left with that on his conscience for ever. I’m not going to wish anything on the Hogan family and I’m seriously only asking for peace for the family of John.

    Hogan’s doing what any father would do, and that’s standing at the side of his son. His words may not always be perfect, but then again, if everything we said was in the public spot light, we’d all be castrated in public view. The Graziano’s are doing exactly what they should. Morning the “death” of their son.

  • @ Kafrin, I do agree with most of what you said. Nick is just 17, I don’t think he should be in adult prison, etc. Whatever the Hogans want to think in the privacy of their home is fine by me but have some respect for the Graziano family and don’t go on national television and say it was “God’s will.” Which is always a cop-out to taking responsibility for your own actions.

  • The kid’s condition has nothing to do with who is at fault.

    There were a number of problems with what occurred prior to the accident.

    1) They were all drinking beer (the viper driver, nick, and both passengers). Nick, while he had alcohol in his system, wasn’t visibly impaired when they pried the car open.

    2) They were racing on city streets where other people were present.

    3) Nick has a history of driving fast.

    4) That car was crushed like a tin can and was within site of a lady at the light. I’d guess total travel distance was probably under 5 – 10 seconds putting them around 75 – 90 mph.

    5) It was luck they weren’t both killed. The passenger’s injury was accidental. Another dodge viper was carrying 2 friends. No one forced this other guy to ride with Nick. They probably knew they were going to race and he made a conscious choice to stay in the car.

    6) Nick wasn’t wearing his seat belt when he was pulled over previously (80 in a 45 I think), so he might also not have been wearing his seat belt here. According to reports, neither was his passenger.

    In effect, then, as driver/pilot of the vehicle, Nick is at primary fault as his passenger’s safety is his responsibility. He was drinking and racing, which does make him culpable legally, civilly, and at least somewhat morally.

    However, John also bears some responsibility as he stayed in the car and didn’t wear his seat belt. For a combat veteran, that shows some lack of judgment. John is > 21 and Nick was <= 17 at the time.

    Nick was and is a child.

    I argue Hulk’s issue is trying to live vicariously through his child. This has lead him to some startlingly poor parental judgment. He’s trying to account for this by assigning blame away from him and his son.

  • John was in a seat belt, the passenger side of the car was destroyed in the accident, the top of the car torn off. With John’s head, I presume.

    He’s not doing what any parent would do, he’s blaming the victim and trying to replenish his bank account and trying make those poor suffering parents look bad so they get less money in the law suit. Transparent and disgusting. A good parent would love his son but not make excuses or blame the injured party for their “negative karma”. Please.

    We don’t know if John asked to be let out of the car do we, and I guess he’ll never be able to tell us either. Thanks to Nick.

  • The Hogans were totally irresponsable..They let 2 bratty kids do whatever the f they wanted.Ever watch their reality show…nuff said….So they shouldn’t bitch and moan its the parents fault..SO..nICK…WHats you gonna do brother..when the other prisoners want to put their penis’s in you!!!!!!!!

  • @ Jinx: Everything I read indicates that he wasn’t wearing his seat belt. Did you find a better source?

    According to the police report, John was not wearing his seat belt, as evidenced by an EMT. – From several sites.

    We don’t know if he asked to get out of the car, but I’m guessing that if he felt uncomfortable he would’ve at least put on his seat belt.

    The Hogan’s conduct in this is pretty reprehensible.

  • Grrr the Hogans make me angry (minus Brooke) they are completely ignorant and irresponsible! they think their son is INNOCENT. That is what disgusts me.

  • I hate it when spammers get in the site i swear..

    But anyway, i honestly think that the Hogan’s are a buncha assholes. I didn’t know Hulk said that shit about the victim, that it’s the best thing that could ever happen to him, that is just completely stupid, i cannot believe someone could think like that. I think Nick is guilty, i do agree that the victim should’nt have be riding with Nick is he knew Nick was drunk, and that he should’ve been wearing the seat belt and all that, but either way, Nick was driving and he should’ve known better, and his parents too. Nick is so spoiled it’s ridiculous, and i wold hate to see him getting out of jail just like Paris Hilton.. Just because they have money and they’re famous.. I hope they find him guilty and that he serves his time in jail like he should. And i feel bad about the victim’s family, i cannot imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes, and yeah, if i was them, i would have started the threats a long long time ago, i agree with that..

  • That’s how sick and disgusting the human race has become. There are people who actually side with the Hogan’s. Sad. How could you possibly side with them on anything. Yea stand by your kid, but you don’t tell him he will get a Real-ity show when he gets out, I mean come on. I think all the Hogans have a 3rd grade education. They are the epitome of Trailer Park Trash, that got lucky. The 17 year old, can’t even pronounce “reality”. Fucking retard. Also, to say that the accident happened, to make John a better person, is borderline psychotic. He isn’t a person anymore, he’s a mere shell of a person, you dumb ass wrestler. Why Hulk isn’t in prison with his faggot son, is beyond me. I mean, he supplied the booze for his 3rd grade son. Any channel, that would put Nick in a reality show, should be fined, and taken off the air, permenatly.

  • I think the Hogan’s made that recording themselves, to try to give them some sympathy, after the jailhouse recordings were released. Hulk probably got one of his fag wrestler buddies to call and leave the message. I mean, come on, they can’t trace it?

  • what a mess hulk shoudve either apologized his ass off or just shut the fuck up. now look at the stiupid mother fucker ! so hes getting death threats, the poor victim is near death.
