Pro wrestler Hulk Hogan Speaks Out Following $140 Million law suit Win
Hulk Hogan has spoken out following his headline-making legal win against Gawker media.
The
former pro wrestler was awarded $115 million in his sex tape case
against the website, and an additional $25 million in punitive damages,
and although Hogan has faced some seriously terrifying opponents in the
ring, he confessed to the New York Post that Gawker founder Nick
Denton"scared the hell out of me."
"Denton
and I had a stare-down. He scared me staring at me, man. He just sat
there staring. It was right after his cross-examination. He stood up and
stared. It was like he was going to call me out at ‘Wrestlemania,'
Yikes!"
Hogan
revealed he was offered "a large amount of money'' to settle but decided
against it because, "if I put my tail between my legs, if I take the
money but don't tell the truth or I don't face [the situation], I'm not
going to be able to live with myself. I knew how unhappy I would be. I
told my wife, I said, ‘Jennifer, I just got to follow my heart,' " Hogan
said.
"It's
embarrassing, though, believe me," the wrestler said of the highly
publicized trial. "After Gawker had posted the video, it was almost like
when I lived in Minnesota and the sun went away and it was like seven
months of being real cloudy when I lived in the Twin Cities."
Hogan
continued to note that he'd run into kids who would say that they tried
to download his wrestling videos but found his sex tape instead. "I
dealt with so many horrible things, people in public asking me about the
tape. I felt like I had, all of a sudden I had a heat lamp on me at all
times.''
"All I did was write for 11 days affirmations: I am victorious. I am grateful. I am highly favored by God and His universe.''
