Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan appeared on "Larry King Live" Tuesday to discuss about his imprisoned teenage son Nick and a series of tape recordings of the phone calls between the two.

As 17-year-old Nick Bollea is serving his eight-month jail sentence for being involved in a car crash that left his friend in a vegetative state, Hogan felt it was necessary to address the issues triggered by the release to the media of the conversations in which Hogan suggested John Graziano's condition was God’s plan to make him a better person.

Even though Hogan hinted that the tapes shouldn't have been made public in the first place, he was aware the conversations were being recorded.

"I have no idea why we’re hearing these tapes. It’s never been done before ever that I know of ever in the United States. Between O.J. and Charles Manson and Paris Hilton and Ted Bundy, I’ve never heard any private recordings that were only supposed to be used only for jail purposes or security," Hogan explained, trying to point out that his comments were taken out of context, "I never meant to hurt the Graziano family," Hogan added.

Further on, the wrestler defended his comments telling the CNN host that he made them because his son’s mental state was in jeopardy due to spending several weeks in solitary confinement.

"It was like the whole world [was] crashing down on my son. Solitary confinement — most hardened criminals unravel after two or three days. Nick survived in there 28-29 days," Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, said. "During that period of time as I’m sitting there, 28 or 29 days, hardly any sleep, I did everything I could to laugh, to cry with my son.

"I was trying to help [to] give Nick some type of relief because he [was] consumed with the unknown," he continued. "I was just trying to explain to him that it’s ‘God’s hands’ or it’s ‘God’s will.’ That’s what people have said for thousands of years and did I say things wrong? Yes. I am I sorry."

Even though Hogan admitted his son has "made a mistake," he insisted that Nick, who pleaded guilty to felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, was not charged with DUI, and he "stood up like a man."

Breaking down in tears by the end of the broadcast, Hogan said that he believed the public understood his family’s plight.

After the jailhouse tapes were released last week, Graziano's mother released a statement calling the Bolleas the biggest "two-faced individuals" she's ever seen. Graziano's father also released a statement responding to Hogan's interview accusing him of lying and performing damage control.
