Bubba the Love Sponge, radio host and Hogan family friend, played threatening messages allegedly made by John Graziano’s brother, Frank Caruso, on his show this morning.

According to the Tampa Tribune, John Graziano’s dad, Edward Graziano, confirmed today that the voice on the tape is that of Frank Caruso, John’s 32-year-old half-brother. He said Caruso is a child from his estranged wife’s first marriage.

Although many might not agree with the threats, many hearing these messages can understand the frustration and anger coming from the Graziano family, especially after jailhouse tapes revealed how little the Hogan (Bollea) family care about John Graziano laying in bed with a hole in his head.

Police are investigating the threats. Click here to listen to the tapes.

The John Graziano family are upset with Hulk Hogan, and Larry King. The other night Larry had Hulk on his show whining about how John was a vegetable because God wants him to be a better person, and how Nick was the victim. Larry didn’t offer the Graziano family the opportunity to appear, so they could respond to Hulk. [Maybe because Hulk is a celebrity, and Larry doesn’t care about nobodies. So harsh.]

George Tragos, the lawyer for the Graziano family, had to issue a press statement in lieu of airtime on Larry king:

"No matter how he [Hulk Hogan] tried to spin it, no matter how he tried to cry at the end. It wasn’t going to change people’s minds."

The fact remains that John is a vegetable, yet Nick’s family say Nick is the victim. How’s that for taking responsibility and showing remorse?

Brooke Hogan told E! satellite radio host Michael Yo she is freaking out over her mom Linda Hogan’s relationship with 19 year-old Charley Hill. She said:

“I’m totally freaked out. I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support, I went to school with him. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us in school.”

Brooke still thinks her dad Hulk Hogan is dating her friend. Hulk clarified on Larry King that he is dating a 34 year-old woman who is not Brooke’s friend. Like any of that helps.

Hulk Hogan almost broke down in tears feeling sorry for himself on Larry King. However, the jailhouse tapes showed Hulk, Nick, and Linda don’t feel sorry for Nick’s victim, and actually blame Nick’s victim for their own misery. They’re totally selfish. Don’t let the tears fool you.

Hulk was right about one thing, positive thoughts and positive energy will help, but so will remorse, and doing the right thing for the family of Nick’s victim. Settle the lawsuit with them, so they can pay for their son’s lifelong healthcare bills.

Hulk blames Nick’s victim, John Graziano, for his situation, and says John is a vegetable because God wants him to be a better person:

“This is in God’s hands. Things happen for a reason. This is to make Nick a better person. This is, in my belief, to make John a better person. It’s like I said before, this is God’s will where we’re at. This situation, I refuse to accept any negativity, any naysayers, and I firmly believe there’s a plan.”

He’s in such denial.

Hulk pretends like he didn’t hear a caller’s question, and doesn’t answer it when he’s asked about taking responsibility for giving Nick booze, etc. Hulk even starts to blame the family of Nick’s victim for being greedy.

Hulk talks about the jailhouse tapes. Nick’s focus was how he can get a reality show as soon as he left jail, to “make as much money as possible. Nick wasn’t thinking about his victim.

Hulk talks about the 19 year-old his wife is dating.

Hulk Hogan rear ended a man this afternoon after the man in front of him had a tire blowout. The accident happened in the northbound lanes of the Bayside Bridge in Clearwater, Florida. Hulk was just returning from visiting Nick in jail.

In a recent phone call to Nick, Hulk said that Nick’s friend who got brain damage in their accident got hurt because he was thinking negatively, and God brought down his wrath on him. Hulk might think about asking for forgiveness before something worse happens.

Update: Correction, it was Brooke Hogan driving, not Hulk Hogan.
