Hulk Hogan Suing Gawker For Ending His WWE Career

According to The New York Post, after being awarded $140 million this year, Hulk Hogan is suing Gawker for ending his career in WWE due to the leak of his sex tape.

The report notes Hogan has filed a lawsuit in Florida which argues that Gawker releasing his sex tape with Heather Clem meant his “legacy in entertainment was severely damaged (if not completely destroyed), and his global brand was forever tarnished.”

Hogan also names several Florida residents in the suit, including DJ Mike “Cowhead” Calta, for sending at least one of the secretly recorded tapes to Gawker. Police previously declined to pursue charges against Calta and others involved in the leak.

Hogan is seeking an unspecified amount of money in damages in the new lawsuit.
