WWE legend Hulk Hogan's ex-wife Linda Hogan recently made some comments about the Hall of Famer in a video she posted. Bill Apter has now opened up on the matter.

Linda Hogan, real-life Linda Marie Claridge, was married to the Hall of Famer from 1983 to 2009. She recently made a post on the internet, accusing Hogan of being a "liar" and a "s*x addict." Linda stated that Hulk was the reason her daughter, Brooke, seemingly decided to cut ties with the family. This has led to some major talking points within the wrestling industry, with many notable wrestling personalities having their take.

During a recent episode of Wrestling Time Machine on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Bill Apter reacted to Linda Hogan's video. The veteran journalist showed concern for the former multi-time WWE Champion's ex-wife, noting she needs to "reach out for psychological help."

"I knew her very well. This is the worst part of social media that people can get on there. She was hysterical, crying. She looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown, and that may happen. But this is something that, for someone to take to the airwaves of the Internet, which is so sad to see. I watched it the one time, and I first thought it was like an actress or something. And then, you know, I looked closely and it was the Linda Hogan that I knew."

Apter sent his love to Linda Hogan.

"They had a very bumpy relationship. There were many good years. I was at their house many times. There were many good years there. But things, unfortunately, in life change. She's down in the dumps right now, and I hate to see it again. That's the thing that I hate about the Internet, when people can do that. She needs to reach out for psychological help. And I want to send my love if you're watching this." [From 03:34 onwards]

Elsewhere on the show, former WWE SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long also sent a message to Linda Hogan.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
