Im surprise this fucking douche bag loser even allows his brother to pick up a dumbbell at a gym without filing a lawsuit against him

Lou Ferrigno
Exercises His Right to Threaten Bro
... With a Lawsuit
Lou Ferrigno is angry at his brother (and you won't like him when he's angry) but instead of turning green ... he's skipping right to threatening a lawsuit over his bro's exercise equipment business.
Lou and his brother Andrew had a legal skirmish a few years back and eventually reached a settlement ... which Lou says limits Andrew to using the phrase "Andrew Ferrigno equipment." He also has to make it clear his biz has no affiliation with Lou's companies and websites.
Lou claims Andrew has violated the order because he's using the word "exercise" in the name of his store ... and insists the disclaimer is nowhere to be found on Andrew's website or social media.
Lou's lawyers sent a letter threatening to sue ... and Andrew tells us since then he's met all of his brother's demands. Well, except for removing the word "exercise" from his store's name.
Andrew tells TMZ, "My brother has money, so why does he need to suck me dry? I am so bewildered by the fact that an actor of his stature would stoop so low as to sue his own brother twice."

well, if anyone should know any better, then his own brother should.

Most insecure fella in the business. his brother was given the name ferrigno too funny enough. Surely Lou could have teamed with his brother to make business on both sides even more lucrative! I'm sure brother ferrigno would have been happy to sell signed autographed pictures at his shop at a knockdown price when purchasing items over a certain amount or some shit like that. Lou is an arsehole plain and simple turning on his own flesh and blood over money

WTF is this guys problem?

first time he sued he was mad because andy had an autographed pic of louie on the wall and some green walls...
-
Why cant his brother use the word "exercise?" Lou does not have a patent on that word. ::) What a moron.
-
WTF is this guys problem?
the word "exercise" apparently got his panties in a bunch
-
how did he find out about it though? he cant have heard about it
-

What's his deal regarding money. The $20.00 for pics, suing his brother twice. He's a piece of shit. I'm ashamed I ever liked him as a kid

I defended Lou because Andy originally did have his walls green and other Lou stuff. This time however Lou is being a real piece of shit.
-

My guess is using "exercise" and "Ferrigno" in the same sentence would conjure up images of Lou Ferrigno in a potential customer's mind. Therefore there is well known association with Lou Ferrigno and exercising.
Just a guess.
Weider was the Trainer of Champions, when it was really Vince Gironda, Charles Glass, among others. But, everybody associates that with Weider.
-
I could get it the first time, where it seemed like people might think that Lou had a piece of the business. But now it just seems petty and cheap, shame on Lou.
-
dan lurie's dead lou has to sue somebody.... he was going to sue andy and his father matty when his dad was still alive, matty just laughed at him end of story. now that matty is dead out come the papers....
-
Andy's store offers 40-70% OFF. Nice. Off what though? Does that mean the $40 sign pic of Lou I bought from Andy wasn't legit? Made sense when he mispelled Luo
-
Shouldn't he be happy his brother is able to make living? Why should he care if it's loosely associated with him he should be happy to see his brother do well.
He truly is an absolute piece of shit, and the big dumb ugly cu nt doesn't deserve pissed on if he were on fire.

He'd only try to charge you with a heating bill anyway.

Haha true
-
I bet that Lou hired a private detective to keep an eye on Andy's store front 24/7.
Lou's lawyers are probably monitoring this thread.
-
Everybody who has met, or has known Lou have said that he's a complete fucking prick. :D
-
When I was a teenager, the family opened an equipment store like this on Bay Parkway between 63 and 64th sts. in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Andy and Matty used to always be there and we would hang out in there hoping to see Lou come by. He never did.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hl07W6E.jpg)
-
Very strange story.
-
Like I said Lou is a very insecure specimen with no family loyalties.
I 100% guarantee Lou is jealous and believes he is the only one who should be making money using the ferrigno name simply because he found fame with it. If matty were still alive and profiting using the name he'd try the same shit with him without a doubt
-
how the fuck does Lou even own the Color Green, wouldn't that be a legal issue for Marvel ??? He does know he is really THE HULK RIGHT ???
Has he ever tried to sue HULK hogan for using the HULK name ???
-
Hated every second of him in the "Raw Iron" behind the scenes feature.
"I was moedefied my gawd"
"dat wuzzend how I wanded do condugd myself leb me be who I am"
-
Hogan said on a Saturday morning kids show about 20 years ago he took the "hulk" name because he beat ferrigno in an arm wrestle! I'd like to see Lou try sue him.

one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time not a manlet like most
arnold sued his father for dying when he was preparing for a show. i saw it in the movie
-
Left out of the article was that Lou offered to settle out of court for $20.
-
Andy's store offers 40-70% OFF. Nice. Off what though? Does that mean the $40 sign pic of Lou I bought from Andy wasn't legit? Made sense when he mispelled Luo
i bought equipment off both andy and his father..... i bought a curl bench that was selling for 400 bucks every place else , andy chg'd me 275 for it... it came in 2 weeks late so he knocked off an additional 25 bucks... he's not like his big bro

Lou would of probably charged you $20 just to process your order

I once read Valentino saying he sued his brother for buying a house from him and the air vents had some issues and sued him for that as well. Is that true?
-
Everybody who has met, or has known Lou have said that he's a complete fucking prick. :D
this is the truth
I heard a story about him @ san diego comic con where all the guests/celebs had a lunch on for them
Lou would take all the sandwiches/subs/rolls and eat only the meat from them and throw away the bread , he ate so much there was very little left for the other guests
total asswipe
I heard rumors his dad sexually abused him, wouldn't surprise me
-

Lou is on an extremely low carb diet. He knows what works.
-
Lou has been an angry man ever since he somehow misplaced his triceps and could not find them again.
-
People with money sue relatives all the time. You just never hear about them.
-
an actor of his stature
;D ;D ;D

agree it is just pure Greed plain and simple. Why not help his brother out.
-
I heard rumors his dad sexually abused him, wouldn't surprise me
His Dad probably loved it then when Lou told him to "make it hardah" in PI.
-
That is slander to say his father abused him. All I know is that he apparently had broke ties with his brother and father. That is a douche bag move.
-
Sue Ferrigno
-
Must be a nice and calming mental state of mind during family dinners at the Ferrigno residence...
-
;D lou was afraid to sue when his father matty was alive...
-
Hogan said on a Saturday morning kids show about 20 years ago he took the "hulk" name because he beat ferrigno in an arm wrestle! I'd like to see Lou try sue him.
i heard that Arnold Once sue his brother for selling Oak Furniture ??? is this true ???

Haha, if only meinhard had lived long enough for that to happen! But I don't think Arnold would have been so horrible to his brother, did you know Arnold brought his son Patrick out to America when meinhard died and took care of him like his own, gave him a place to live, a job etc.

DONNY, It's difficult for me to offer anything of an educational value regarding Lou simply due to the fact that I only met him a couple of times at various social events.
The first of which was at Gold's in Santa Monica when Ken Sprague owned the place folowing one of the National Contests and he appeared curious but not overly gregarious when it came to meeting people.
Then a few years alter we invited him to be our special guest at one of the contests and he said that it would cost us $5,000 plus other expenses if we wanted him to appear.
At that time the other top pros were only expecting $1,000 to $2,000 so Lou's price was on the high side and we ceased all conversation at that point.
I have yet to discuss Lou with any of his fellow competitors at that time but I'm sure that they have stories to tell if I were to inquire.
Both good and bad.
The only adverse stuff I have heard about is all spelled out here concerning his brother and some stuff about refusing to offer a kid an autograph unless he paid $20.
It's kind of enbarrassing to see him collecting $20 for his autographed photo during the Olympia Expo so I just walk buy and try not to look.
OH yea ... I never was a Huk fan and only saw it once on TV and that was the time a few friends of mine from Gold's appeared on the show as competitive bodybuilders scarred to death by the HULK.
It would be interesting to know if he is receiving residuals now that the Hulk TV series is on sale at video stores and Walmart in Particular.
ANd ... another ... OH YEA .... My nephew was the HULK in one of the major HULK movies .... all motion capture but very strenuous work.

Thanks.. was just wanting to maybe hear the other side of the story. I donīt know the man so i can only go by what a lot of people write. got to admit he was never a Bodybuilder i really followed or was intrested in. Most of what i read about him is negative. I wanted to hear your opinion as you are a guy who has been around ;D yeah Ken sprague writes over on Raw Iron, is a very down to earth, frank guy. seems a genuine guy.
-
Lou's definitely not a businessman like Arnold. If he was smart, he would have let his brother use his name and image to sell gym equipment in exchange for part of the profits. Would have more than his estimated $6 million net worth, if he had a better business plan to exploit his fame than $20 autographs (and he'd have fans that love him rather than fans that point out his douche-baggery online).
-
yea thats what i said before, he could have made deals with his brother, made business more lucrative but Lou is so insecure HE wants to be the successful one. Trying to impress but trouble is Matty is dead and he's just become a complete arsehole towards his family.

what's the lurie story?
lurie was sued by just about everyone, louie sued because he used a pic in an unauthorized ad, sergio sued for same thing, arnold i think not 110 percent sure though sued over lurie using his pic in a contest ad or something. weider sued him.
-
So the moral of the story is learn your lesson, ask permission!
