Linda Hogan says Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake had homosexual relations

by Geno Mrosko on Aug 17, 2011 3:42 PM EDT in History

Sometimes you can't even make this stuff up.

The train wreck (or should I say car wreck) that is Hulk Hogan and his entire family continues to explode all over the Internet and into our lives, however unwanted it may be.

The latest salvo is Linda Hogan claiming her ex-husband had a homosexual relationship with one of his long-time lackeys, Ed Leslie, known widely as Brutus Beefcake from his days in the World Wrestling Federation.

Here's the ProWrestling.net story:

Linda Hogan appeared on the Matty P's Radio Happy Hour and was asked email questions from fans. One emailer asked if Hulk and Brutus Beefecake had an "intimate relationship." Linda's response, while laughing, was, "Wow, I don't know how to answer this, so I don't end up getting a lawsuit. A little bird told me, ‘Yes they think they did.'"

If Hulkamania was indeed running wild in the Barber shop, it only adds to a legacy that Hogan tarnishes more and more every day.

Of course, Linda is no saint and don't forget, she's still promoting her recent book release, "Wrestling the Hulk." So this could very well be, and likely is, just another cry for attention and another feeble attempt to line her pockets a bit more at the expense of the "Hulkster."

I'm shaking my head at all this, Cagesiders. How about you?

Congratulations Linda. You’re now officially part of the Done Warrior Nation. Because like the lunatic known as Dim Hellwig, you only made something of yourself by riding Hulk’s jock for 20 years.

And now that Hulk’s not there to keep the money coming in, you go off like the town crier to air whatever dirty laundry you can in a desperate attempt to keep yourself in the limelight.

Again, at Hulk’s expense. Why? Because without his name, no one would pay attention to you. Truth.

Can I ask a simple question? What did you ever accomplish in your life aside from spreading your legs?

It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

Butthurt Hulkamaniac.

I am a Hulkamaniac

and that’s for life. I know it’s hard for this generation to understand, but Hulk’s message got me through some tough times as a kid. I believed in the power of good and it carried me through the dark ages. I’ll always be grateful.

Unless he pulls an O.J., I don’t care about his personal life. He can be gay, on drugs, whatever, he’s still my wrestling hero!

I had the work out kitt

with the tiny 2.5 pound blue barbells. I said my prayers and ate my vitamins because Hulk told me to. That man was my hero.

If this is true at least Brutus made sure they both had perfectly trimmed pubes.

For me, the real Sting will always be the the one with the bleached blonde hair and the pink neon tights. I’d rather that Crow Sting and all the other Stings that came along after Fake Sting had never come along at all.

Linda's been saying this forever. Hogan even brought it up in his last book.

I’m offended, not because I’m some sort of homophobe, but because I’d like to think that if the Hulkster did enjoy homosexual relations, he’d be able to pull a better looking dude than that. He was making some good money!

Of course, he ended up only nailing Linda instead of some B-list starlet back in the ’80s, so maybe Hulk has less of an ability to get good-looking girls/dudes than I thought.

Doubtful

If true, color me surprised. And then, “Who cares?”

Hogan’s accomplishments (and failures) are the same regardless of his sexuality. If Linda is lying, that is between her and Hulk’s lawyer. If what she says is true, so what?

by Finian1 on Aug 17, 2011 4:39 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah, I’m not sure why this would (further) tarnish his legacy.

Didn't say that.

Said it adds to a legacy that he continues to tarnish.

Personally I'd like to know who this "birdie" was......

However …..I don’t know if Hogan is gonna serve her in regards to that. Beefcake on the other hand………

Strange though-she said that the Warrior was/is gay.

Well, Beefcake did come back as the biker Disciple

And Biker’s can be a bit like that as well.

How else can one explain Brutus' success?

My fellow Americans, I have not been entirely truthful with you. I did gagoogidy that girl. I gashmoygadied her gaflavity with my googus. And I am sorry.

Even if this was true...

… why would it tarnish his legacy? That’s the most brazenly offensive thing I’ve ever seen you write, Geno… actually it’s the only offensive thing I’ve ever seen you write, so I’m curious as to how you justify it. Do you mean that it will tarnish his legacy in the eyes of the AVERAGE wrestling fan?

Or do you actually mean that you’re homophobic and you think what a performer does behind closed doors (and that title does not apply to anything he does on a reality show, i concede that point) should affect his in-ring legacy?

Actually there’s no way you’re homophobic… you’re a pro wrestling and mma fan. We’re as gay as it gets.
