Hogan Knows Best Season Premiere

From the good folks at VH-1, it's another season of Hogan Knows Best, the reality show starring the number one wrestling star from my childhood, Hulk Hogan. Since ratings and interest were down last season, this year the writers came up with a plot where Hogan and his wife are supposed to be talking divorce. Of course, it's all contrived, so who cares. The season premiere was a tough show to sit through. After teasing the divorce angle, throughout the show Hogan and his wife kept talking about getting it on, which sent me running to dry heave in the toilet bowl like a teenage girl who had just drank too much Hennessey. As if that visual wasn't enough, they also showed Hogan on the toilet dropping a duece.

The kids were barely in this episode; it was mostly Hogan, his wife, and her enormous rack, which started to look like two Ball Park Franks from those old TV commercials. They went to see a marriage counselor, then they decided to have a "Wish Day" where one would grant the other three wishes with no argument. On Hulk's day, he chose for his wife to shave his back. I wish I were making this up. Then some more foolishness happened, blah blah blah, and it ended up with Hogan reading a poem and some tears were shed. I can't believe that I once cheered for this man to beat Randy Savage. My love/hate relationship with Hogan continues.....
