"In his new book "My Life Outside the Ring," Hogan says he was contemplating suicide after drinking a rum and Xanax cocktail in December 2007 before a call from American Gladiators' co-host Laila Ali prevented him from ending his life, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
According to Hogan, a combination of "going to [a] strip club, drinking, getting all that attention from girls" and coming back to an empty home had led him to the point where he was reaching for a gun and contemplating suicide.
However before he could pull the trigger, Hogan claims he was interrupted by a phone call from Ali, who had noticed he'd appeared distracted earlier in the day at work and prevented him from ending his life, the Daily News reported."
According to Hogan, a combination of "going to [a] strip club, drinking, getting all that attention from girls" and coming back to an empty home had led him to the point where he was reaching for a gun and contemplating suicide.
This is absurd for many reasons. First, here are a few common causes of suicide:
1. Verbal abuse
2. Sexual abuse
3. Low self esteem
3. Bullying
4. The death of a loved one
5. Loss of hope
Second, to add context to this report, Hogan had just divorced his abusive wife, and he was pretty much living it up by clubbing and drinking, so it doesn't make sense to me how he could be on an emotional high one second, and then become suicidal instantly after.
And finally, how is it possible that Laila Ali, a female co-worker, would call him just in time. I'm thinking he called her becauseF he was distracted with his own problems.
