Nick Hogan may have lost his pussy magnet - but at least he still has his father's love.
Hulk Hogan says that his son, whose real name is Nick Bollea, is moving ahead after the accident that almost took the teen's life last week.
The 17-year-old son of the WWE wrestler was discharged Monday from a Florida hospital after he slammed his Toyota Supra into a tree.
As Us Weekly, and other celebrity gossip sources have reported, Bollea was driving at a "high rate of speed" on August 26 when he lost control of his vehicle, which "inexplicably left the roadway," jumped a median and crashed into a palm tree, said Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater, Florida police.
"When I saw the wreck I didn't think anyone was alive. I never saw anything like that. I thought no one could have lived through that," Hulk Hogan said.
Hulk and Nick Hogan pose together. We assume Brooke Hogan was off making terrible music somewhere.
The massive-muscled reality star went on to deny deny rumors that his son had been drag racing at the time of the crash.
"It's just so unfair. There's not a bad bone in my son Nick's body, the most important thing to me was from all the eyewitnesses and from everyone who saw the accident, was that they were not racing."
Lastly, Hulk says Nick was not driving like Nicole Richie; i.e. drugs were not a factor in the accident.
"There wasn't alcohol or drugs involved. The police said everybody looked straight as an arrow, thank god for that," Hogan said. "Nick is doing well, he's got a broken arm and a broken rib and some stuff wrong with his knees but he's hanging in there. He's going to be ok and we're going to move forward."

To begin with I feel sorry for all involved and sincerely send my best wishes and hope for the best outcome - especially for John.
A note to Terry:
I know you stand by your son and want to trust and believe him - I believe your a good Dad and your fortunate in being able to provide him with more than you probably had growing up.
Do you honestly think that he never drives recklessly ? What about the prior speeding tickets - going nearly twice the posted speed limit ? What about him getting stopped three times (within an hour I believe) , getting two warnings - finally a ticket - BRAGGING to a magazine about it - apparantly going 123 MPH ?
I believe he has a Sept.10 court date - is that not recklace - dangerous ?
How about him cutting off a vehicle - doing a burnout and running an intersection - having to brake hard to not hit vehicle in front of him while Linda was there posing and cameras on ? He may have been showing off (w/VIPER) - not very responsible !
Your adamant that he was not RACING at the time of the accident - What about the NURSE that was following them - WATCHED them " GOING " - according to you not racing - from light to light trying to beat each other - but not RACING ! - did you talk to her ? Do you believe she would not be reputable ? I saw her on video - looks and sounds reputable to me !
I'm 50 years old myself - have built and driven fast cars - was a kid myself and LUCKY to be alive. If he wasn't doing something reckless - eg. speeding , racing , spinning tires , power shifting at high RPM on a slippery surface (WHICH IS WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED !!!) , what would cause a supposed trained RACE driver to lose control !
Poor tires - front end loose - not !
How about a young guy - too much car - a love of speed and racing !
You have to face it Terry - This did not happen by itself !
Look at his track record - HOW MANY TICKETS !
I can only imagine how many warnings as well !
You got LUCKY Terry - they didnt DIE - this time !
CLIP HIS WINGS - FOR EVERYONES GOOD !
I am a long time fan of yours and am not trying to rag on you - but you you have to wake-up man !
Wish you all the best,

Again another,tv made star,of what is the big laugh,But this young man that was hurt is sad. And the hulk is blaming all but his kid and his family values. Grow up all of you,Still running around like hulk and bringing kids into it,Grown up are laughing at you,not watching your show.
Pray for the real person to suffer the other kid.

to everyone:
Terry and family are good people - this was an accident, no more - it's very sad what happened - but it did !
I have a feeling that he loved John as much as his his own kid's (I would be that way !)
Let's NOT CUT THEM DOWN !!!
