LailaHulk

At some point, we have all watched Hulk Hogan on TV, whether you want to admit it or not. Well, now Hulk Hogan is promoting his new book My Life Outside The Ring and one of the things he disclosed in the book is when he was about to commit suicide.

Hulk says he sat alone in his empty house for two days straight and tried to numb his pain over the split by taking the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and washed down the drug with Captain Morgan rum.

Staring at a bathroom mirror in his despondent state, he became hysterical and started crying as he grabbed a handgun. He ran the gun up and down his leg before deciding to put the barrel of the gun in his mouth. When he finally did, he says he could hear the sound of the metal against his teeth. But before pulling the trigger, the phone suddenly rang and it was Laila Ali, who called to offer her support – although she had no idea that she had interrupted her friend’s suicide attempt.

Speaking with Laila forced him to stop crying and to put the gun away. He viewed the moment as the beginning of his ‘spiritual awakening,’ and he says he was determined to change his life.

Damn… If that’s not Jesus Taking the Wheel, then what else would you call it!!!

    i have heard him speak of this moment the fear in his voice is scary.
    It really makes you think of reaching out to any friends who may be feeling depressed and in need of a friendly voice or a helping hand.

    Good! God wasn’t ready for him to come home yet. Hulk you have something left to do!!

  • Cocoa Brown

    What an inspiring story! Often times the Lord will tug on us to do things and we don’t even understand why. Had it not been for her call, right at that exact moment, he may not be with us today. Awesome! God is good!

    @ Simply Juicy & I’m just me… well said. God is definitely good and the Devil is a liar.

    Here’s hoping he becomes a better man out of this.

    wow… not the hulk o.o

  • Hidge

    GOD is good!!!!! Thank you Jesus

  • Alrighty Then…

    @Rio – yes He is!!!

    I hate to think of anyone going through the type of sadness that makes them want to end their life… It makes me sad, that life in general could be that hopeless for anyone…

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Damn people can’t you see that this is a publicity stunt to sell his upcoming book. There is no proof to any of this, it’s just a statement that was contrived by him in order to promote his book. No one can say that he was lying because Laila probably did call him to wish him well, but he probably wasn’t in the act of committing suicide. WAKE UP!!!!

  • come on

    OMG TEARS JUST RAN DOWN MY CHEEKS, GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD. I TOO AM GOING THROUGH A VERY VERY, DIFFICULT TIME.

  • JB(Vote for me Miss NSU 2010-2011, Lady A is my campaign manager)

    I am glad.

  • Alrighty Then…

    @come on – And may God be with you too. If He takes you to it, He will bring you through it. Stay strong.

  • Yoda

    That is deep.
    I hope he finds peace and happiness.

    Good Black women saves a lot of brothers, so it’s to no surprise that God used one to save the life of brother from another mother.

    No making light of it; that is a beautiful thing.

  • TyNice

    O SO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW THE BLACK MAN GETS RECOGNITION FOR SAVING THE WHITE MAN.

  • http://thefullpint.com Jonny Fullpint

    so his path to changing his life involves banging a chick that looks like his daughter?

  • TyNice

    I was an Ultimate Warrior fan, fuk Hogan…………

  • Yoda

    Suicide is no joke, he’s alive, how ever it happened.

    Just getting up every morning is a gift from God.

    Glad to see he made it through.

    I have been in positions where I spoke to both blacks and non blacks who were going though these trials, I hope I effected them in a positive way.

    We all have points of weakness, some handle them in different ways.

  • tg

    Wow – this is why you should ALWAYS reach to people who are feeling down. You never know what you might say that might make them feel better.

  • KEYSHA LIKES IT HOT

    Yahweh will rock your world ……. the Most High is awesome!

  • Born

    That man has always showed respect for all creeds, all colors. May God bless Laila him, their families and yours too. God will keep you.

  • Frenchy

    Well said elhaq, Allah God)!!…and not our beloved prophet Jesus S.a.w

  • Butterscotch™

    @Simply Juicy

    “I’m Glad GOD stepped in and and used Laila to save his life!! God is Good!!!”

    I agree. Sometimes, our positive thoughts and concern are all someone may really need to feel they can make it thought their trials/tribulations.

  • elektrikeccentrik

    @ AWWWWWWWWWSHAAADAAAP
    you may be right…. but if it isn’t it’s pretty random to me…it’s kinda hard to believe that Laila called him out of nowhere….
    but if it is true then hey. a strong woman was there to help a man when he was weak.

  • sunny

    Strong Black women to the rescue!!!

  • It’s me!

    Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain. You have the DISGRACES of black women, and then you have those black queens among black women. Laila= night beauty. When the HUlk entered the night of ‘depression’, Laila was there to show him a beautiful compassionate heart. :)
    I like feel good stories like this.

  • BigD

    I love Laila.

  • …*MOcarsMOclothesMOjewelsMOdoe*…

    wow! how sad.glad you back with us BROTHER!

  • Niasia

    I saddens me to see some people speak of suicide in the way they do. Depression is real regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic standing or creed! Ok maybe some of you have never been to this point, that doesn’t give you the right to look down on others who may have hit the bottom emotionally.

  • drenk

    @ I’m Just Me: Keeping It Real Since 1983

    Good! God wasn’t ready for him to come home yet. Hulk you have something left to do!!

    aint that the truth, Randy Savage has been talkin some serious SHIT! He’s gotta leg drop that punk one last time before headin out

  • I’m jus sayin

    If the story was really true, what a spiritual awakening.

    However, I smell publicity stunt all over this. The lengths Hollywood people go through to just to make an extra dollar. Of all the things I’m sure this book covers, he decided to talk suicide while promoting.

  • LL

    Another black woman to save the damn day!

  • Huh (new on here but not to be confused with the other one)

    That’s wonderful!!!

  • drenk

    I call her cassius

  • Tropical English

    @ Rose by any other name

    Yeah, girl, you right. Check the stats. In the WORLD, black women have the LOWEST rate of suicide out of any other group in society. Cause we ride..

  • http://www.freewebs.com/myfastloan redcora

    dang.. shows we’re all connected. pays too have folks who really care about you too.

  • burito9245

    Thanks to Laila for calling him when she did. I would have really been bummed out if his suicidal attempt was succesful.

  • Carlitos

    Just because she may be Muslim doesn’t mean the Lord can’t use her to his liking.He can make anyone work for him without them even knowing. He can use anyone. Read the bible more often and find out.

  • Amanda Baby

    @Rio Yes Indeed! ;)

  • Exit —–>

    Commiting suicide over Linda Hogan? Crazy. Poor Hulk needs to be put up on some young puzzy to forget all about that hag.

  • Bacchus

    Amen and Amen. That is absolutely beautiful. I can remember a time when a friend of mine told me she was about to do the same and I called her. I don’t remember the night because I call to holla alot but, she said I was just talking and rambling on…lol. No matter if my chatter was important or not, it helped save my friends life.

    People, sometimes you don’t know how God is using you so allow HIM…I promise when that person reveals the blessing you’ve been in their life you will be abundantly blessed as well. \o/
