Bringing back the old WWE days...



A courthouse in Clearwater, Florida was the scene of an old WWE-styled trash talkin' as Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) took on his estranged wife's attorney Ray Rafool (gotta love the last name) in a verbal match while Rafool was talking to local reporters.

The spat started when lawyer Ray Rafool was answering questions about the divorce case for television cameras. He spoke after a hearing Thursday in which a judge granted the release of $225,000 in frozen assets for Hogan.

While Rafool spoke to the media, the towering Hogan tried to interject a comment from behind a row of cameras and reporters, and that's when the verbal smacking began:

Rafool: "Are you gonna to wrestle with me here? Are you gonna come across the cameras? Then be quiet."

Hogan: "It's a free world..."

Rafool: "No, it's not a free world, it's called professionalism."

Rafool (who had recently accepted an autograph from Hogan for his son, then delivered the stinging verbal blow that would rankle any World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler): "You're an actor. You're acting now."

Hogan (keeping his cool): "I hope your son enjoys the autograph. Thank you Hulkamaniac brother."

Then Hogan's attorney joined in and continued arguing with Rafool... just like any good WWE wrestler's manager would do.

I wonder if they have any of the old "Big Time Wrestling" shows out on DVD. The Shiek would clean both of these guy's clocks. Trust me... I know. He nearly kicked my butt years ago when I had him thrown out of a bar in Metro Detroit for being a drunken idiot.
