HULK HOGAN'S DIVORCE ALMOST DROVE HIM TO SUICIDE . . . BUT APPARENTLY, LAILA ALI HELPED KEEP HIM ALIVE:
Thursday October 22nd, 2009
HULK HOGAN almost didn't survive his divorce from his wife LINDA.
Of course it didn't help that Linda had shacked up with a 19-year-old kid.
In his new book, "My Life Outside the Ring", Hulk says he was in such a funk that he almost KILLED HIMSELF.
He writes, "There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy."
It got so bad that Hulk even put a loaded gun to his head. He says, "Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it.
"I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger . . . and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out."
Hulk says he got his head straight by turning to Christ . . . and LAILA ALI.
Hulk believes that a phone call to Laila following that incident really helped him turn things around. (Hulk and Laila co-hosted the new version of "American Gladiators" last year.)
Laila says she doesn't remember that particular call . . . but she says, "I think that was just divine intervention."
She adds, "I do remember working with Hulk and he was going through a hard time, going through a divorce with his wife.
"I did call him from time to time when we were shooting the show for whatever reason and I did offer him lots of words of inspiration and support."
Laila also recommended Hulk go to her church in Los Angeles. She says, "He loved it. He kept going. I remember I ran into him there."
