Hulk Hogan: 'Ex-wife's accusations don't make any sense'

Hulk Hogan has discussed the lawsuit he is filing against his ex-wife, calling her accusations "ridiculous".

The wrestling star is suing Linda Bollea for defamation over claims she made in her book Wrestling the Hulk - My Life Against the Ropes, where she alleged that he abused her and had a homosexual affair with a colleague.

"After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I'd heard everything I could hear in the courtroom," Hogan - whose real name is Terry Bollea - told Us Weekly.

"Then, all of a sudden she says I abused her, that I was violent. She told everybody that I was a homosexual.

"If any of that was true, I would admit it, and if I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It's just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it.

"If you're going to say I'm something that I'm not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood... I have to answer her back.

"It's so ridiculous. I don't mean to laugh about it, because it's not funny. But it's insane. It doesn't make any sense to me."

Wrestler Brutus Beefcake - real name Ed Leslie - has said that he will also sue Linda Bollea over the claim that he was Hogan's gay lover.

Linda Bollea has said that she feared for her life at times during their marriage.
