I saw a quick clip of the trial. I didn't think the court room would allow the person to wear a hat or something on their head. I don't know what made me think you weren't allowed to wear something on your head in a trial but I was surprised to see the Hulster with his do rag on while on the stand.

He asked the judge before hand

I think hulk hogan is the only man in the history of man who could get away with wearing the doo rag to court.

If it was Judge Judy, she'd demand he take the stupid thing off.

Shitty part is, Gawker Media is worth nowhere near what he was awarded. They'll go bankrupt and he's lucky to get enough to cover lawyer fees.

Ultimate Warrior gives a pretty funny commentary on Hogan's use of the doo rag in his YouTube Karma Collects video.

I was wondering about that. They may have an insurance policy for that type of thing, considering the risky nature of the business any lawyer would try to shore that up when the business became big enough to need protected.

In hindsight, a $115 million dollar mistake not taking the video down when they were asked to.

Is the significance the brushing away of the tear, or the guy in the background throwing the dog into the water..? (sorry if its a famous clip)

How do they come to that figure, I thought awards are based on how damaging it is someone's image and loss of earnings. Hogan wouldn't have made that much

He needed it. He was on the radio not too long ago talking about how his wife took everything.

Good to see Hulkamania coming out on top in the end

Like when his son lobotomized that guy? Fun stuff.

A Florida jury wrestled with the facts for six hours, then hit Gawker Media with a $115 million leg drop.

The jury hearing Hulk Hogan’s sex tape lawsuit found the gossip website invaded the wrestling icon’s privacy when it published grainy footage of him having sex with his best friend’s wife.

Hogan bowed his head and appeared to cry when the verdict came down. His longtime lawyer David Houston smiled and reached out to pat him on the back.

Didn't he blame his poor sexual performance on a meal? I remember him profusely apologizing.

"I ate like a pig."

They will appeal and if they lose file bankruptcy or something. OJ never paid a dime.

The chick he banged, Heather Clem, was as hot as fuck. Not sure how she's holding up though.

Gawker is worth between $300 and $400 million. They can't declare bankruptcy because they are not insolvent.

And OJ never willingly paid a dime, but in a 1999 auction, the Goldmans received nearly $500k through the sale of memorabilia OJ had, including his Heisman Trophy. They also got a small percentage of the money from the sale of OJ's book 'If I did it'.

Maybe he will start a new cooking or food prep gimmick? Hulk supplement line should do well.

In an interview he did years ago he claimed that he turned down an offer to put his name on what was to be called "The Hogan Grill". They then went to George Foreman and offered it to him.
