Some of us might have wondered why Hulk Hogan has been off the scene for quite a long time. Read further and find out for yourself. He was reported very happy now that he has been lifted off emotional distress.
After Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was
awarded a stunning $115 million in damages from Gawker Media on Friday
after filing a suit three years ago against the site after they published a
portion of a sex tape featuring the pro wrestler -- he celebrated with a
wrestling meme on Tuesday.
"Thank you God, I am grateful, 'I AM THAT I
AM,'" Hogan tweeted alongside a Photoshopped picture of himself body
slamming the Gawker logo in a wrestling ring. "Only love HH."
And even more good news for Hogan -- a Florida jury
awarded him more than $25 million in punitive damages on Monday; in addition to
the $115 million he was already awarded.
Hogan's lawsuit requested damages from Gawker for
emotional distress and invasion of privacy. The lawsuit stemmed from an
incident in 2006 when, following a divorce from his wife Linda, Hogan had sex
with Heather Cole, the wife of his then-best friend, radio personality Bubba
"The Love Sponge" Clem. Hogan testified that the sexual encounter was
captured on film without his knowledge.
"We are extremely happy with the verdict and Mr. Bollea feels vindicated," Hogan's legal team said in a statement to ET. "Our victory will also deter others from victimizing innocent people. This verdict now requires those organizations to respect privacy and if not, pay the price for failing to do so."

It is unacceptable when the media tries to paint black with white; how would he had slept with his best friends wife and expected that he would go scot free. It is even written that every thing that is hidden would be revealed and announced on the ruff top. Anyways, it is another way of confessing he really did wrong. Hope he has reconciled with his friend, else his friend may not forgive him.
