So I read the jury awarded Hogan $1 for every Hulkamaniac who was in the Pontiac Silverdome the night he bodyslammed Andre the Giant?

Dammit I knew I should have been keeping up with this case.

Like would Hulk Hogan be docking his pay for the rest of his life?

I believe the judge's exact words were,"AJ Isentence you to be Hulk Hogan and to consider Terry Bollea as Linda Hogan."

Hulk Hogan should buy TNA with his winnings.

He'd still have 99.9999999999% of all his money if he did that.

Is there any chance the outcome of the Gawker Trial is a judge decreeing that Larry David has to be the new RAW GM? :shobon:

I hosed Hulk Hogan and filmed it but he insisted on wearing the Mr. America mask the whole time and now no one will believe me :( Swerved by the fuckin Hulkster again

I got bad news for you dude, you had sex with Mr. America who just told you he was Hulk Hogan to get into your pants. You should have been able to tell because Mr. America's arms aren't quite as large as Hulk Hogan's, who has THE LARGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD BROTHER!

Charles Harder & Peter Thiel have jumped the shark: http://gawker.com/now-peter-thiels-lawyer-wants-to-silence-reporting-on-t-1781918385

The whole thing is so much more obvious the more frivolous claims Harder takes on.

quote:

Even David Simon, the award-winning reporter-turned-screenwriter and frequent critic of Gawker, offered his accolades, arguing that if the U.S. press had investigated the Bush Administration’s claims about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction with the same energy, the Iraq War might have been avoided.

I'm a real idiot when it comes to financial/legal matters like this - explain the many ways I've got this wrong:

So Hogan's claim is that the guy who wants to buy Gawker will somehow be given the right to take away (some of the) money that should be going to Hogan in damages to redistribute it amongst Gawker's other creditors?

So how does this affect Hogan's payment? Does the money come out of the sale to pay off the old owners' creditors (including Hogan?) while Gawker is now technically a new company/entity?

He's referring to Peter Thiel

Hogan's got a long history of getting billionaires to give him a shitload of money, Thiel just kind of blends in with McMahon and Turner to him.

My interview was shot in Johnny Rodz's office at his non-air conditioned wrestling school (Brian wanted something wrestling-y and fell in love with Gleason's) on probably the hottest day of August. And Brian had to turn off the fans for audio quality reasons. Thankfully I had a steady supply of bottled water and cleverly hidden wet paper towels.

Careful they don't Nixon you! :ohdear:
