The terms of the divorce settlement between Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea have not been publicly disclosed yet, but Linda's attorney says she received "an outstanding settlement result." The attorney added that both sides had to compromise, but Linda is "extremely happy" with her pay-out.

According to Linda Hogan's attorney, Hulk Hogan initiated the end of the "divorce feud" that led to a settlement being reached on Tuesday morning.

"Hulk is the one that originally came to Linda and said lets try to put this whole case aside and lets resolve this," attorney Ray Rafool told 'Tarts' pop news outlet. "Essentially Hulk was the one that came to us with this peace offering which we gladly accepted."

After several months of Hogan and Linda playing up bitterness against each other, the feud seemed to come to an amicable conclusion. There's a photo circulating of Linda giving Hulk a kiss on the cheek in the courtroom after their settlement was decided.

Linda's attorney said the former married couple are still business partners at the end of the day. "These people are business partners now and will be business partners in the future," Linda's attorney said.

Hulk's attorney added: "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."

Caldwell's Analysis: Hulk and Linda sure were business partners for over a year working this divorce feud into the media spotlight. Hulk comes out as the "gracious babyface" based on the news that he initiated the end of the program. Linda's babyface turn to accept the amicable split and acknowledge the "gracious babyface" in front of the cameras virtually erased the negativity toward her from being the heel in the feud. This whole program allowed Brooke Hogan to remain relevant for the launch of the second season of her reality show and her new album, which dropped last week. Now, the parents can move out of the main event picture and give their daughter the spotlight after helping build her up on the undercard. I'm analyzing this tongue-in-cheek, but this really was one of the best-booked wrestling programs over the last year. I know the pain, hurt feelings, and frustrations were real for both sides and for everyone involved, but this also can be studied for how to book a pro wrestling program.
