Hulk Hogan has gone on damage control after being exposed as an insensitive fraud by recorded jail conversations with his incarcerated seventeen year old son, Nick. During an appearance on Tuesday’s Larry King Live, Hulk admitted he made some negative comments about Nick’s paralyzed victim, John Graziano, during the recorded during phone calls, including discussing a future reality show for Nick, but the former wrestler says that was only to “protect him physically because his mental state was unraveling.”

Hulk also confirmed that his estranged wife Linda is dating local teenager, Charlie Hill.

“[The woman] that I’m dating is 34 years old and it’s not one of Brooke’s friends and from the reports I’m hearing, my wife is dating a 19-year-old.”

“It was like the whole world [was] crashing down on my son. Solitary confinement — most hardened criminals unravel after two or three days. Nick survived in there 28-29 days,” Hulk told Larry. “During that period of time as I’m sitting there, 28 or 29 days, hardly any sleep, I did everything I could to laugh, to cry with my son.”

“I was trying to help [to] give Nick some type of relief because he [was] consumed with the unknown. I was just trying to explain to him that it’s ‘God’s hands’ or it’s ‘God’s will.’ That’s what people have said for thousands of years and did I say things wrong? Yes. I am I sorry.”
