Perhaps some consolation after having been removed from the WWE website as if he never existed and never won countless wars on whatever for the US as was once Chuck “my beard is a deadly weapon” Norris’ prerogative after audio of the “N” word only Jay Z and Kanye can put in Paris, and despite raising demand for the canopy beds he spent most of the tape—surreptitiously and opportunely orchestrated by “good friend” Bubba the Love Sponge with Bubba’s then wife then-wife Heather Clem—talking about:
Hulk Hogan wins $115m Gawker sex tape lawsuit (news.sky.com).
“A Florida jury found that the Gawker website had violated his privacy by publishing a video of him having sex with his former best friend’s wife in 2012. After deliberating for six hours, the jury handed Hogan $60m for emotional distress and $55m for economic damages. ”
And giving jurors and celeb watchers quite some violation after hearing “reckless” website Gawker’s rather disturbing age-criteria for a celebrity sex tape (money.cnn.com) and hearing the Hulkster confirm in court that he does not have a 10-inch super-wrestlin’ penis. Seemingly though, the jury in the trial didn’t have to watch full Hulk Hogan sex tape (nydailynews.com), presumably having already purchased a canopy bed.

“Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy protection after it was ordered to pay $140m (£98m) in damages for publishing a sex tape of wrestler Hulk Hogan. The company released a statement declaring it had reached an agreement to transfer its seven brands Gawker.com, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, and Jezebel to publishing group Ziff Davis. … Announcing the news, Gawker founder Nick Denton said in the statement: ‘We are encouraged by the agreement with Ziff Davis, one of the most rigorously managed and profitable companies in digital media.’”
And also a lil’ more conservative when baiting litigation.
