Sure, $140 million is nice and all, but it’s not quite the entire prize Hulk Hogan is seeking from his legal victory over Gawker and founder Nick Denton.
The former WWE superstar recently won a $115 million verdict in his sex tape trial — and an additional $25 million for punitive damages — and partially celebrated on Twitter with a picture of him in the squared circle delivering his famous leg drop to a Gawker logo. But in an interview with ABC News, Hogan described a chance encounter in the courtroom bathroom with Denton and the two thoughts that immediately went through his mind.
Hogan, of course, had his contract terminated by the wrestling company after leaked tapes of him spewing racial slurs were made public last summer. But after a victory as major as this one — and given his immense popularity in the WWE Universe — seeing Hollywood Hulk Hogan back in the ring with his latest nemesis certainly would be an unforgettable sight.
