Hulk Hogan scores horrible publicity by saying he can relate to O.J. Simpson

Hulk Hogan told Rolling Stone that he can understand why O.J. Simpson allegedly snapped. "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat," Hogan said.

"You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it." To read more on the story, visit NYPost.com. [Thanks to like 500 Dot Net readers for passing this one along]

Powell's POV: WTF? Hogan has an odd infatuation with O.J. After all, he wore black gloves and delivered a bizarre promo on Nitro years ago that was clearly inspired by Simpson. Hogan has told his share of whoppers over the years, but he usually doesn't say anything this idiotic and potentially damaging. I'm sure Linda Bollea's attorneys are foaming at the mouth in anticipation of using this quote against Hogan.
