New York, October 22 Wrestler Hulk Hogan has revealed in his new book 'My Life Outside the Ring' that he almost committed suicide after the failure of his marriage.

He has confessed that he drank Xanax and picked up a gun to kill himself after his wife Linda filed for divorce and son Nick was charged for reckless driving.

"There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy . . ." the New York Post quoted him from an excerpt in the book, published in Men's Fitness.

He added: "Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it . . . I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger . . . and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction . . . I would have blown my brains out." (ANI)
