Hogan Victim "Doing Better"

Filed under: Nick Hogan

hooogan__opt11__opt.jpg

John Graziano, the 22 year old armed forces vet that has been left with severe brain damage since being involved in the Nick Hogan car crash in August, is finally showing signs of improvement.

He still can't speak or breath without a machine, but he is showing some responsiveness.

The power of prayer works!

    Hogan's kid needs to go to jail. I don't like him at all. He thinks just because his dad was a somebody wayyyyy back when, he can do what ever he wants to do. He was a wrestler, not the president.

    thats a great thing. too many kids getting hurt for no good reason. i live in clearwater and if you could just see the road that they crashed these cars on youd slap nick until your hand fell off. theyre TINY downtown like 30 mph streets.

    It doesn't matter, that kid will never fully recover. I hope stupid, arrogant Nick serves some jail time. I hate this whole family, they are a bunch of whiny, pretentious snobs. I don't think Hulk has THAT much money either. Plus, the mom is as bad as the Kardashian Mom trying to shove her obnoxious bovine-like daughters into the path of every camera. I hope they all choke.

    "Power of prayer works"

    Right. Maybe God could have intervened BEFORE the fucking accident. God is a fucking prick and when he fucks up, we say it's "our" fault, but when something positive happens, it's always "his" doing. What a dick.

    I can't believe that Papa Hogan was in the car with Nick when he was going 100+ mph in the Everglades & was pulled over twice. WHAT BAD PARENTING!!! Plus Momma Hogan is filmed saying how much she loves street racing. BAD PARENTING! What is with these two adults??? I use to like them & their show, but now I think that the parents are COMPLETE IDIOTS…now I know why the kids are LOSERS who will never amount to anything. The kids are probably hoping that they get an inheritance because they will never be able to make it in the real world. Hopefully, the injured Marine will clean out the Hogan's bank accounts. This family is just white trash with money…this is the real "reality show"

    This story is misleading. It implies that because this poor man opened his eyes, he is somehow going to recover. Unless I am mistaken, he has major brain damage. Opening your eyes or closing your eyes makes little difference.

    Sadly, the term "improvement" is relative in this case- one instance of movement cited by his mother is hardly cause for rejoice, tho no doubt she is thrilled;

    He's still Stage 3, and until part of his brain regenerates and reattaches itself, John's long-term prognosis is grim.

    Boo-Ya to John, tho, for hanging on after being dumped off by the Hogans to the VA to die……..

    alright, i usually never comment on sites like this because its usually a bunch of stupid people blabbing on about something/someone who they should just leave alone… But you guys are scum of the earth… "That Prayer shite is just a bunch of bullshit. Praying IS bullshit." OK I have something seriously wrong with this… I'm not religious at all myself, but I cant believe someone could say this. In some peoples minds Praying gives you faith, religion gives you faith, and with a son that has severe brian damage, thats exactly what the family needs right now, FAITH! Hey i actually hope there is a god so that he could reach down and punch you in the eye for even saying a thing so disrespectful. Some day soon someone in your family is going to be sick in the hospital and how hypocritic will you look when your down praying yourself… and hey on a lighter note, to everyone thats respectful, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

  61. diego says – reply to this

    UDUMBFUCKS.COM You don't get it, right?

    Prayer has no power in changing events, and that's a fact. Something very different, faith, hope, has an effect in people since it can help them to move on or endure hard moments. But mark my words: conscious people, not a guy in a coma. He has no hope, no faith, no nothing since he has no conscious mind working. And prayers are not going to change that.

    And no, I don't celebrate Christmas, since I don't celebrate neither the birth of Mithra (the original Roman holiday) nor the winter solstice. I just celebrate the chance to have an excuse to reunite the family and have some quality time together.

    And if there is a god, he/she/it is not interested at all on what is going on down here, sorry.

    Commenting on prayer, 4/against, will not solve anything. But get this:
    .
    .
    1.) What if John IS able 2 respond 2 questions of the accident? Not now, but soon?
    2.) What if John is able 2 at least write, not a book, but a couple of words?
    3.) What if John is asked if he WAS wearing his seatbelt, and he writes, "YES!"
    It CAN happen, people!!!
    4.) What if John scribbles this: "Nick…driving fast…told 2 slow down…didn't…had seatbelt on….BOOM…pain…help!"
    .
    .
    Please let him pull thru, so he can put this idiot in jail! Where he belongs!!

    Bullshit!
    Prayers don't work! They never do! In fact - this has be proven, people who now that they are prayed for, are doing worse.

    So stop praying. There are no gods anyway (because if there would be a god, Perez would be dead already). He is doing better because of 'healing' 'rerouting of brain functions' and rehab.

    "The power of prayer works!".

    God obviously ignored the first 10,000 prayers and then choose to intervene at 10,001.

    God is supposedly all-powerful AND good, so why does he either allow people to suffer and do nothing about it, or doesn't want them to suffer but is powerless to stop it.

    Come to think of it, if God is so amazing, why didn't he wait until 2007 to send his only son to Earth so Jesus could start a blog and post his miracles on YouTube. That way he could show 6 billion people "the way" instead of just a few thousand. No, he supposedly sent him to the Middle East two thousand years ago and, presumably, doesn't care much about other races to tell them about Christianity. Do Chinese people go to hell to suffer for eternity if they don't know about Christianity? Is God fullfilling his end of the deal?

    Religion is stupid - think for yourselves! That's what a REAL God, if one existed, would want you to do.

    Agree with CB. The power of prayer works? Shut the fuck up. Is that why people die on a daily basis just minding their own business? Innocent people getting carjacked, people dying of cancer, and kids getting raped over and over again? And "the power of prayer works"? Bullshit. Wake up! Evolve your mind from the bullshit you've been programmed to believe.

    I hate misleading stories like this. My brother was in a similar accident/had similar injuries, and I can tell you right now that if he's just starting to open his eyes after 4 months, that's not a good sign. Typically, the longest a true coma lasts is about 4 weeks; after that, the person opens his eyes and is often in a vegetative state after that. Sometimes permanently. Opening eyes does not mean he's "responsive" whatsoever. I lived that hell with my brother for too long to think differently. I'm not saying there's no chance of recovering, but this "doing better" bullshit pisses me off. Odds are not in his favor, I can tell you that.
