On That Fateful Day

nick_1.jpg nick_2.jpg

These exclusive pictures obtained by PerezHilton.com show Hulk Hogan and his son, hours before the horrific accident that left Nick's friend with permanent brain damage.

The Hogans and friends were on a booze cruise and having a great time!

According to newly released documents, Hulk himself bought the beers for Nick and his friends to enjoy.

And enjoy them they did! Too much!

A Perezcious reader tells us:

"These pics were taken the day of nicks accident….you can see his buddy Graziano on the boat with him…..we were out boating in clearwater that day and they pulled up beside us and started yelling shit at my girls on the boat…could tell they were having a good time."

Unfortunately that good time turned very bad just hours later.

According to police documents just made public, Nick was driving at 100mph and racing another car just before his accident.

      This is sad, but lets not lose sight here. First, not ONE of these photos shows NIck drinking. Second, Graziano is an adult. IF Nick did drink, Graziano made a CONSCIENCE DECISION to get in the car with him, and NOT put on a seatbelt. Please. It could have been just as easy for Graziano to drive the car and Nick to be laid up in a nursing home. Stop jumping to conclusions. Stories about fashion and who's pregnant by whom are one thing, but NON-FACTUAL bases stories over someone who could still die change peoples lives. You've crossed the line

      It appears too me that most people int he boat appear to be adults, and not one picture shows Nick consuming alcohol. Unless you have some of those pictures, these don't mean $hit!!!! Earlier post when Hulk spent $70 some dollars on alcohol, you made it sound like it was for Nick and all his young buddies, I would have to say after looking at the pictures, most of the people on the boat were closer to Hulk's age than Nicks and probably Hulks friends. You are ate up!!!!!!

      What makes this accident anyone's fault.=? Graziano was old enough to make his own decisions. He drank all day and then got into a car with someone that he knew had been drinking too. Nobody forced him to get into that car! If the Hogan's did not have any money this would have been over already. But of course it all comes down to making money off of an unfortunate accident!

      Re: Yikes i

      Because whether he's pronounced dead or not, the boy is in an out of his mind state. He can't do anything for himself. He can't think. He can't understand. "Brain dead". To take away someone's rights to live life the way they choose, to make their own decisions, to make their own lives-that's manslaughter. He's just a body. Nothing more.

      Looks to me like Nick and Hulk have guilty looks on their faces….they are holding beers but they have them down out of sight. Hulk Hogan needed/needs to act his age and set a better example for his son. He spent too much energy keeping an eye on his slutty looking daughter.

      DROP IT ALREADY………its so annoying how you have to try and dig stuff up to make the situation worse. The kid that was in a wreck with him is an adult and can think for himself. He is at fault for the situation he is in. Simple as that. It doesnt matter that he was in Iraq or Nick was racing. He didnt wear a seatbelt and got in the car on his own. When we all get in our cars and drive down the road there is a chance of us getting in a car accident, but its a risk WE ALL take, and unfortunately for the Graziano kid he WASNT WEARING A SEATBELT when he got in an accident. He should of known better.

      That is what trying to be a "COOL PARENT"will get you. Letting your kids run wild and obviously approving of it. So many celebrities think they are above the law. It will be a miracle if Hulk isnt prosecuted for supplying beer and allowing someone drinking beer, operate his boat. I bet Brooke is in the boat too on her knees servicing all of them. That is why she isnt in the photo.

      47

      I didn't see Nick drinking in any of the pics,regardless…he should be punished for what happened. But..his friend was not a hostage in the car, he didn't have a seatbelt on, it was one of his best friends they were racing, I don't think Nick is 100% responsible for all that happened. It's also been reported his friend loved racing….I'm pretty sure he was a participant even if he wasn't driving. It was a horrible, awful flurry of many bad judgements.

      btw Perez…it's BEER….that means 1,2…or 100. Do you see 6 Deers in a field??.

      Nothing wrong with taking your son on a boat ride people. Stop being so stupid. Hulk Hogan did nothing wrong. And how do you know his son was drunk when he got into that accident? I didn't hear anything about him being drunk, and on the picture he isn't even holding on to a beer. Lying little shits you are.

      You just wish you could tan that well. Haha.

      Hulk is such a loser. Buying alcohol for minors is a thing a desperately trying to be cool father would do. Nick is still at fault in the accident doesn't matter if Graziano was wearing his seat belt or consented to get into the car or not. When I was 16 I was involved in a car accident with my cousin who was racing at the time and it didn't make it my fault. I was telling his dumbass to stop when he lost control of the car and hit a tree almost throwing me out and killling my brother. The Hogans should have to pay and Nick should have to go to jail. Nick didn't seem to really care until he was arrested anyways. If its a old pic that means Nick and his friends were even younger and underage drinking. Maybe Details should've put Hulk and K Fed on the cover for their father of the year.

      It was an accident. I am not saying that Nick wasnt being a stupid kid when it happened, but it was an accident. Lots of parents buy their friends kids some beer, but i seriously doubt Hulk knew he was gonna get into an accident that night. He wants to be around his kids, if anything he wants to be close with him. I feel horrible what happened to John but he should have been wearing his seatbelt or gotten out of the ar. I am sure that they have raced together numerious times before. Give the poor family a break, it was an accident.

      It is the DRIVER's fault when their passenger is injured in an accident they caused. If it was your son or brother in Graziano's situation would you still take such an ignorant stance? ..Cuz I gotta tell you, I would be ready to kill the ignorant ass hole that drove like that with my loved one in the car.

      Perez would you stop w/ the Hogan's already. The accident was not intentional and I'm certain the Hogan's feel terrible about what happened. No one made the other guy get in the car, I'm certain he knew what he was getting in to. Also, don't forget that the other guy was 21, how do you know he didn't supply the alcohol? Would you shut up already about this accident and stop trying to turn this into something it isn't!

      I feel for the boy that was hurt and his family, but everyone makes choices in their life, and Graziano could have gotten out of the car and chosen not to drive with his speeding (if drunk) friend, Nick. I've done it. Let's not blame just one person for the bad decisions made by muiltiple persons.

      Re: OMG!!!!!1
      Yes, we all have a heart and brains, and that's why we use them to make right choices in our life. Don't make an idiot out of yourself…if a family member or friend of mine was injured and I knew they weren't wearing a seatbelt and travelling in an out or control car, I would be sad, but I would not put the blame on one person…mistakes were made by more than one person.

      Hey marie, you think Nick had that elevated blood alcohol level from inhaling the fumes from everyone elses beer???? It wasn't that his dad supplied him with beer to drink. Oh no it couldn't be that. What responsible parent would do that. That would be just as irresponsible as letting your 17y/o continue to drive a souped up race car after getting four major speeding tickets and numerous warnings in less than a year. Who would be dumb enough to something like that???

      Oh so you think Graziano got what he deserved for getting in the car with Nick??? Whatever SIN Graziano committed by getting in that car he has more than paid for. Now it is Nick's turn to pay up. Or maybe the Hogan's would like for John and Nick to switch places???? I'm sure the Graziano's would be more than willing to have there kid spend a year or two in jail rather than a lifetime as a potted plant. What a stupid thing to even write.

      For fuck sake people. How are any of you defending the Ho-gans. His friend is an adult and got what he deserved? Are you people fucked in the head???

      Nick is a proven dumb ass, especially behind the wheel. How do any of you know Iif his friend knew what kind of asshole nick is behind the wheel.
      Sure he should have had a seatbelt on, but he didn't, Nick is still responsible for his driving actions. Why didn't Nick make him wear a seatbelt, Nick knows he can't drive for shit?

      Lastly, do any of you Hogan defenders think the Hogans give a shit about you. If it were you lying in a coma with your family grief stricken and now dealing with Hogans trying to get out of the responsibility of fault of the accident.

      I grew up watching the Hulk and loving wrestling because of him. I'm starting not like him much these days. The Hogans are fucked up, and FUCKED!!!!!
