Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has risked causing a storm - by launching into a bizarre rant about his marriage split and insisting he was tempted to attack his wife "like O.J.".

The star, real name Terry Bollea, is currently going through a bitter divorce from estranged wife Linda, which has forced him to move out of his luxury mansion in Florida. And in a shocking interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he compares himself to fallen football idol O.J. Simpson, who was cleared of murdering his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.

Hogan says he is furious Linda is allegedly dating "some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior", adding: "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat."

"You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife... I totally understand O.J. I get it."
