Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan is ready to speak out against ex-wife Linda Bollea's claims of his domestic abuse and homosexuality, after filing court papers last week for defamation of character.

The 58-year old WWE champ was in good spirits at the Spike TV Video Game Awards in Culver City, Calif on Saturday, telling US Weekly of his legal battles with Linda:

"After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I'd heard everything I could hear in the courtroom. 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."

Hogan added, "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."

In her shocking tell-all memoir, Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes Hogan's ex-wife claims he cheated on her with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake, and physically abused her behind closed doors.

The wrestler has since moved on with new wife of one-year, Jennifer McDaniel. "I've moved on with my life, things are great again," Hogan gushed. "I know what it's like to be happy again."

Hulk Hogan has listed his Florida mansion once again ... but this time, the asking price has drastically dropped.

The massive estate, originally listed for $25 million, is now on the market for $8.87 million. What a bargain ... for someone who can actually afford the new price!

Hulk's 17,145 square-foot estate features five bedrooms, 9.5 baths, a pool with a waterfall, a boathouse and a garage that fits four cars. We can't forget the gorgeous ocean views, too.

The famous wrestler first put the home on the market in 2006. Good luck this time around, Hulk!

Hulk Hogan and his ex-wife Linda's legal battles aren't over just yet. Hulk's attorneys added the former Mrs. Hogan as a defendant to a lawsuit which claims Wells Fargo Insurance Services didn't set Hogan up with an umbrella policy that would have protected his net worth after his son's infamous car accident.

The new court papers state Linda Bollea was also responsible for the insurance, because she claimed she served as the couple's business manager before they divorced. Therefore, the suit claims she shared responsibility for the insurance as well.

Linda's lawyer, Raymond J. Rafool tells X17online exclusively:

"This is the most ridicules lawsuit i have ever seen in my career. Terry has stooped to the lowest levels he can grovel to. He lost a lot more in the divorce case than Linda, so I guess this will be a wedding gift to his new wife."

Rafool also tells us he plans to fight the suit:

"We are going to go after him and his publicicty hungry lawyer. We will blow him out of the water."

Hogan's attorney Wil Florin explained his client's reason for filing the complaint, stating: "While Terry does not relish litigation with his ex-wife, her refusal to accept legal responsibility for her errors and omissions necessitates this action".

Hogan has since settled the civil lawsuit with John Graziano's family, the car accident with son Nick left the 23-year-old Iraq war vet critically injured. The amount was not disclosed.

The Hulkster missed a scheduled appearance last night at the TNA No Surrender PPV event, and he tweeted an apology from his hospital room.

"Emergency at Morton Plant Hospital, hung on as long as I could," he tweeted from the hospital. "Back is totally spazzing out. Time to heal."

Hogan also managed to tape the video apology to his fans. We appreciate the sentiment, but seems like he could have gotten a better camera man!

Hulk Hogan let his shirt do the talking outside of a Gold's Gym in Venice the other day. And what can we say in return? Hey, brother!

Linda and Charlie in Venice Beach earlier this month

Linda Hogan is apparently looking to walk down the aisle again, to a man who is just one year older than her daughter Brooke.

Linda and Charlie Hill, who is 29 YEARS YOUNGER than his 50-year-old cougar, are going to make it official after two years of dating, says the National Enquirer.

Charlie and Brooke first met in school -- she was one year ahead of him. Now, he's set to become her step-daddy.

I sense a "Hill Knows Best" TV show in the works!

Douche factor?

Hulk Hogan and his son Nick ate at Providence in Los Angeles last night, and not only did the boys show off the giant dent in their brand new Dodge Challenger, but they also posed for a picture with Ron Jeremy Jimmy Hart! So much going on here...

Hulk's been pushed to the edge the last couple of years, and he discusses it all in his new tell-all book My Life Outside the Ring...

Both his wife Linda dating a 19-year-old and his son Nick getting into that car crash in 2007 were contributing factors, he claims, as well as a combination of "going to strip clubs, drinking, getting all that attention from girls" didn't help.

Then one night he came "damn close" to committing suicide after taking Xanax, drinking rum and reaching for a gun, but an unexpected call from his Gladiators co-star Laila Ali - who apparently thought he looked "distracted" at work earlier - stopped him from going through with it.

Talk about a lifesaver!
