Hulk Hogan: I'm Not Gay

Despite what his ex-wife says, mustachioed wrestler Hulk Hogan denies he's gay and that he ever fooled around with wrestling cohort Brutus Beefcake.

The golden gorilla is apparently steamed that his ex, Linda Bollea, tattled to a radio program that, in addition to being physically abusive, he was, uh, hitting the mats with his wrestling disciple, former cocaine addict and current born-again Christian Edward Leslie (AKA Beefcake).

Hogan says that if he was gay, he would just be gay and that Bollea is just trying to start trouble for him.

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

Hogan, who has remarried since his split with Bollea, is apparently doing so in court.

"He's being accused of all sorts of vile conduct that he did not commit," his attorney Will Florin told the magazine. "Miss Bollea's made enough of these outrageous allegations that it's time they stop ... The only realistic way of making them stop is through the court system."
