I remember when the link to the Gawker story with the sex tape was posted here.
Hogan's awarded $115 million with appeals to come, and hopefully the end of Gawker Media if they don't get that reduced. could still get punitive damages on top of the $115 million.

In a key ruling that was perhaps a fatal blow for Team Gawker, Judge Campbell quashed the defendants’ subpoena for testimony by radio jock Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem, the wrestler’s former friend who urged Hogan to have sex with Heather Cole Clem, his then-wife, and then recorded the action with cameras placed strategically in the bedroom.
Guess I better strike that one from my bucket list.

I'd do a pay per view to see Hawkster do an atomic pile driver with his former friend.

Some fool asked Hulk to bop his wife - and he didn't think anyone was going to video that - and that it would never end up going public - the guy's an idiot. Well they're all idiots - but Gawker probably should have known better - surely they have lawyers on retainer???

what happened to the free speech guys who used to post here?
hulk is a vain twat who wore a bandana in the courtroom to hide his wrinkled balding head.
the award is ridiculous and, if the ruling stands after appeal, the amount should be greatly reduced.

gawker's net value is 45 million a year. I guess they will be branded as hulkker for the next 2.5 years

Is there no liability insurance that media companies carry in the event of judgements against them? Serious question.

This Reddit thread claims they've run through their insurance coverage.

He's mad that Hulk said nigger. And that they're the same age but hulk could kick his ass easily.

Aesome! Hulkster's had some bad luck the last few years. To be fucked over and practically cuckholded by his ex and have had to pay out all kinds of $$ becuase of his dumbfuck kid and the bitch. ( He should take some of that $$$ and have her made good.)
He got some trophy tale and he gets rich again because of it. Awesome for him. meanwhile we will all live our own lives.
