Hulk Hogan suing Gawker Media for $100 Million USD

I've seen Hulk driving on the bridges here that connect St. Petersburg and Tampa countless times. It's pretty great. But...

Whether he wins this or loses this I might want to stay off the bridge for a few days afterward. Winning or losing $100 million has an impact on people!
 
If THR is correct, Hulk Hogan's lawyers seemed to have made a pretty poor choice in pulling out of federal court to try and get Florida sympathy.

I suspect the goal now is not to win the case but bankrupt Gawker. Even if Hogan loses on appeals (and there are lots of reasons he would), a victory in Florida would force Gawker to take out a bond for the full amount of the damages owed.

He can't win in Florida. The article said Gawker just had the case thrown back up to federal court. And that was done today, lightning fast.
 
What kind of sick freak would watch a Hulk Hogan sex tape, brother? That's almost as mind boggling as people who watched the Chyna/Xpac tape. Granted, that one you could at least partially chalk up to the sort of people who stop to watch trainwrecks and stuff.
 
Hulk Hogan blocked me on Twitter for making a joke about this sex tape. You would think that leathery looking skin would be a little thicker.
 
Everybody saying they hope gawker disappears... What about deadspin? That site is awesome and the best place for random and funny sports news. The rest of the gawker sites can disappear and it wouldn't bother me but deadspin going away would make me need to find another site to waste an hour per day reading while I'm at work. Hope hulk loses.
 
If this lawsuit could break Gawker, I'll find myself cheering the Hulkster on for the first time in damn near 30 years.

Should be fun to watch it unfold, either way.

i09 and LIfeHacker are pretty legit as well. I also hope they win or at least don't lose so completely.
