Hulk hulgan was my favourite wrestler growing up.
Good work Hulk. Enjoy it. Buy some amazing things but nothing too fast! We don't want you killing yourself in a high speed crash

I trolled the steam wwe 2k16 forums so hard for a week about not buying the game unless they brought hogan back, and threads like "WE WANT HOGAN" and hoganposting about pythons and brother and hulkamania running wild on people etc.. People attacked him for supposedly being racist, and I went into elaborate arguments which eventually turned into exposing white genocide, but not before I accused vince of being a racist and using Edward Bernays style propaganda tactics to trick black people into buying his product, and pointed out Vince himself called Cena a nigger on live TV and how Booker T said it too and was never punished etc, and the wyatt brothers being bait for black people who just want to see white hicks get beat up etc etc etc.
Id did this so hard for days that they removed the forum entirely.

Well done.

Major props to Hulk's Attorney.
>Hogan files a privacy tort action
>Gawker has to overcome by showing an overriding public interest
>Gawker asserts that its interest is the freedom of the press guaranteed by the first amendment, specifically, the freedom to determine what is "newsworthy"
>Hogan's attorney knows that the press usually wins these cases, but he no doubt quickly discovered that Gawker is full of the scum of the earth, from radical feminists, to belligerent SJW ideologues, to every other kind of irredeemable asshole with no journalistic integrity or iota of professionalism
>Hogan's attorney therefore focuses the defense around showing what a bunch of assholes Gawker are in order to make them overlook the legal argument and want to punish these horrible people to the full extent of the law
>It works and Hogan gets astronomical damages
Also what is taking so long to mention the # of the punitive pay?
This is the end of GAWKER, Kotaku and all the other shit sites under that umbrella right?
>>68120981
If Gawker is on life support, they're going to keep Jezebel and kotaku, which is probably their bread winners. Everything is like io9 and the like, who knows?

what do you mean ? Arabs or jews?
>>68121060
They'll either spin-off (like they did with Wonkette and Consumerist) or merge brands together (like AOL did with Engadget and Joystiq)
Even if this does destroy Gawker as we know it, someone will come along and buy the assets if only for whatever is left of the brand recognition.
>>68119510
Watching the lawyers tear into him was fucking glorious.

SMASH 'EM, HULKSTER
From '1st Kings':
23
>"And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.'
24
>"Dogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country."
25
>(There was never a man like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord , urged on by Jezebel his wife.
26
>He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the Lord drove out before Israel.)
'2nd Kings':
30
>Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she painted her eyes, arranged her hair and looked out of a window.
31
>As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, "Have you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?"
32
>He looked up at the window and called out, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33
>"Throw her down!" Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34
>Jehu went in and ate and drank. "Take care of that cursed woman," he said, "and bury her, for she was a king's daughter."
35
>But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands.
36
>They went back and told Jehu, who said, "This is the word of the Lord that the spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel's flesh.
37
>Jezebel's body will be like refuse on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, 'This is Jezebel.' "

With jews you win!
>Your free money, sir!
>>68120952
They took the case to the town where he lives, with a very helpful judge. The decision will be tossed on appeal.
>what is taking so long to mention the # of the punitive pay
The prospect of him ever receiving any money is almost non-existent. It is not worth paying people to go in and start the seizures when you know the judgement is not going to stand.
>>68120464
CAN'T _______ THE HULK?
>>68122743
From what I understand, going tro anm appeals court in the state they're in will cost Gawker, and they may not be able to pay for it all since they burned through all their lawsuit insurance.
>>68120952
Not to mention showing how they were gladly showing his sextape, while at the same time were calling websites that refused to take down celeb pictures from the Fappening down "immoral scum". That would cause anyone to roll their eyes and want to punish them.

>>68122996
They need to put 50 million dollars in escrow in order to appeal. Money they don't have.
>>68122996
If the company don't cough up $50m, Bollea can seize assets. He can literally send bailiffs in to inventory and seize cash and assets.
However since the decision is less durable than a prawn cracker, the cost of paying people to do the inventory and audit is not worth it. It is not worth removing goods if you have to put them back a month later.

Why not? He can take servers, the money they have in the bank, which would cripple their server costs.
>>68123605
You have to pay people to audit the company, pay people go in and inventory the capital items, pay people to remove and store high value goods. When the decision gets reversed, you are left with a bill and no award to cover it.

If he won't do it, they lawyers will.
Keep in mind, gawker owes, indirectly, 40 million dollars, to the lawyers who took on Hulk's case.
I can assure you, they will go after gawker's assets.
>tfw there will never be someone as cool as the Hulkster again
>tfw we are stuck with Roman fucking Reigns
>>68123981
>gawker's assets
They do not have any assets to speak of. The decision will be reversed immediately, so there is no point in attempting to secure payment. If there were anything to be had from the $100-$115m award, Gawker would be compost already.
No way Hogan gets the full settlement and the case will probably be tossed out on appeal
>>68124197
They've got your sorry ass clicks, Shalvino.
>>68119510
Noice.
Will this put Gawker out of business?
>>68124197
They have money in the bank, a credit line, computers, and various office equipment.
Besides, American law moves slowly, so they'll do enough damage to gawker. Good luck trying to get shit back across state lines from Florida to New York.

>Will this put Gawker out of business?
It could stop them paying salaries and bills whilst their assets are frozen, assuming the judge does not grant a stay of the damages bond. Since you could run these news sites from home I do not think you can really torpedo them with damages.
>>68124764
Bitch, nobody works for free.
>>68120464
Smash'em, Hulkster!
Also, cool times, great job. No more Jezebel, no more shit-tier, intersectionalist crap.
Now someone just needs to kill Buzzfeed, and we'll be good.

>They took the case to the town where he lives, with a very helpful judge. The decision will be tossed on appeal.

I fucking hate these (You) fishing maymays, but I'll respond this one time because fuck Gawker.
SMASH EM, HULKSTER!
>post yfw Hulk asked for $100 million, but the jury was like "na, here's an extra $15 million on the house", and that extra 15 mill was the difference between Gawker taking a major hit and Gawker going under
>>68119510
good job hulk
>>68122832
We figured this out yesterday, morons.
CAN'T BOGAN THE HOGAN
How could gawker be so stupid? What did they have to gain from a Hulk Hogan sex tape?
>>68124871
They are "journalists" for an internet news site. You can pay them with millet and use flaxseed for bonuses.
>>68125067
They can appeal without putting up the damages bond. It just means that Bollea can start seizing goods and money immediately.
>>68124517
They might be bailed out by sone leftiat jew.
The real damage will ckne from the liquidation of their assets and the video footage of gawker joking about child porn
>>68125399
I think they were trying to look edgy and defiant by ignoring court orders to take the tape down.
Welp, live by the tard, die by the tard.
>>68125151
Just jealous of my (You)s
>>68125151
I'm addicted to (You)s.
I need them.
Nothing brings me joy in my like seeing a red dot on the chan's leaf.
It's getting a problem in the way I function daily.
Please give me a (You) please.
>>68125666
I am, Satan.
I am.
>>68125741
I just installed 4chan x like 2 months ago and that little eyeball turning red in the top right of my browser makes me so happy. Having a good goy pass and shitposting at the speed of light in hopes of (You)'s is like crack to me.
>>68125462
>They can appeal without putting up the damages bond. It just means that Bollea can start seizing goods and money immediately.
As the witch hunters of Salem used to say: possession is 9/10ths of the law.
Once the money and equipment is no longer in gawker's hands, it will be very hard for them to get it back, especially since New York and Florida are different states with different laws.
Is these threads getting deleted all around?
