Look out, brother. The passenger who was critically injured in a car crash involving Hulk Hogan's son is now suing the wrestler. The attorneys for John Graziano, the Iraq War veteran riding in Nick Bollea's Toyato Supra when it lost control and crashed into a tree on Aug. 26, filed a lawsuit against Hogan and his estranged wife, Linda, claiming that the parents of the underage driver are liable. The suit, which attorneys say will seek millions of dollars, claims that Graziano was left in a semiconscious state and will require care for the rest of his life. Nick Bollea also faces a criminal charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury.Do you think Hogan and his wife should be held responsible? — Adam Bryant
