you just got fucked, brother.

Down goes Gawker! Down goes Gawker!

Hogan smashed Jezebel like he smashed the World Trade Center

He tag-teamed with the Ultimate Warrior, who was wearing thermite facepaint at the time.

ME: "Where are you going? I did this for you!!!!!"

Ant, Jim, Sam, Travis, Danny, and E-rock: [forced laughter]

"You better just jump brother... noones coming"

Good. Fuck them

I'm buying stock in spandex and feather boas immediately.

They deleted their comment but seeing this I have to assume it was something at least half gay.

What a libtard cuck! Hahaha lmaoooo

kikeberg

of course...

Word is this might be a death sentence for Gawker. That makes me rock hard.

The Gawker lawyer said a Hogan win could mean the end of the internet as we know it. What a fucking putz

The level of delusion to not only think that, but then to express it in a court case of that size. I get hyperbole on the side of the defense trying to blow it out of proportion, but the end of the internet over a gossip rag getting sued?

Yeah, retarded. Lawyers rarely actually believe what they are saying. It's all hyperbole.

Agreed, I guess I should have elaborated on top of that statement, that the actual guy from Gawker made his own delusional statements as well, smarmy, douchey comments on the record like "well if it was a sex video of a 4 year old we wouldn't have posted it" and the like.

so basically they're like pro wrestlers.

Good one BROTHER!

That'd be great. The internet as we know it sucks. It's been ruined by shit like gawker and buzzfeed and facebook. I miss the internet as I knew it 10 years ago. Newgrounds, Homestarrunner, YTMND, those were the days.

I miss AOL chat rooms and trading gifs. At least we still have irc

Keyword: Opie and Anthony

a/s/l? Pics?

FAWK YEAH

That brings it back

Yeah, but think of all of the advancement that has been made in pron.

I browse /r/gifsound to attempt to relive the ytmnd days, and some of it's great but it's still just not the same

It'll never be the same. :'(

"You can't go home again"

The greatest thing is that Gawker "reporters" will have to look for other employment opportunities. Good luck with having Gawker on your resume. These dickheads have to look for jobs in legitimate news sources.

This also doesn't include punitive damages, and those are usually 3 times more.

Saul voice: "punitive damages!"

End of faggoty dork limp dick euro you hurt my butt journalism as we know it.

Sadly we probably won't be that lucky. Hail Hydra!

Ah, a Trump voter. Go back to your warehouse job, you fucking loser.

O&A may have been posturing hypocrites about a ton of things over the years, but they were always spot on about what a sociopathic piece of shit Bubba is/was.

Bubba has had a worse career than O&A. He couldn't even get them into a radio war and ended up being fucked over by Stern and then his life completely collapsed. Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella, really.

Hogan got paid 115 million to fuck his wife.

There's a murky dungeon of extreme cuckold fetishists who just found out it's Christmas.

[deleted]

Juicy. I remember when he used to stuck sterns cock. What's the story behind his downfall

Alcohol and prescription pill abuse.

No no, we're talking about Bubba, not Anthony.

Yeah.... O&A had HORRIBLE careers. You must be new here.

The hulkster literally cucked bubba the love sponge and got paid millions of dollars to take down one of the atrocious clickbait websites of all time. Living the dream brother.

Seriously. I wonder if his ex wife is kicking herself in the ass fire missing out on that payday.

Not exactly. I remember either Opie or Ant (possibly both) saying Bubba wasn't such a bad guy after all, and I'm leaning towards Ant because I remember him saying he spoke with Bubba shortly after his firing.

After losing a lot of his wealth in that awful divorce he went through and the WWE cutting all ties with him and killing his career I say he deserves it. Dude's an icon. I just hope his shithead kids never see a dime of it.

Hogan has done some shady shit himself. Just listen to the prison tapes between him and his son.

Don't forget that time he betrayed WCW and joined the nWo! That was shady as shit.

I loved when Tony Schiavone said "Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell"

[deleted]

You could tell he was evil by the black bandana and painted on 5 o'clock shadow.

[deleted]

I love how they still call the fucker "Bubba the Love Sponge" rather than use his actual name

That's his legal name. A man legally changed his name to "Bubba the Love Sponge"

A man who called himself Bubba the Love Sponge whose fetish was having his wife engage in sexual activity that he himself was not part of. That's some self-loathing right there. No wonder the poor woman left his bloated ass.

Good point, but both Jim and Sam would also let Hogan hulk out on their significant others, for different reasons.

For the same reasons.

hey he's actually a cuckold

Self loathing is the main feature of many sexual fetishes isn't it? Gavin has alcohol to erase the self loathing, Jim Norton has prostitutes shit on him, bubba has friends fuck his wife.

" this is VALUABLE evidence! "

I still love the bit where the boys tore Bubba to shreds as he repeatedly tries to claim that since Hogan willingly had sex with his wife, he had no case. I'm just sad that Hogan settled with him for a relative pittance.

I can't stand wrestling or Hogan, but I'm glad to see Gawker get fucked. This had nothing to do with free speech. They're TMZ with a SJW complex. Hopefully this means they'll disappear.

Srsly. Who would've known that hulk Hogan would pound the stake into Jezebel's black heart?

Denny Falcone.

Praise his name.

This is fantastic news. If someone says Florida can't produce 12 useful people they are lying.

They have muddahs dont they.

Nice save.

Ill choose to disagree until I get blown by Casey Anthony and she proves to me she can contribute to society

Floridian roll call. .#561sfinest

Florida

This explains so much about your stories...

Righteous buucks

Hogan buries another one.

Looks like Brooke Hogan just got funding for her next twenty albums!

And some new cars for Nick to ruin people's lives in.

Then blame the victims for having bad karma and deserving it.

listen it's sad that the kid is paralyzed but if you're hanging out with Nick Hogan then you probably are a douche anyway. I bet there were a lot of happy people after he was paralyzed.

I'm happy he got paralyzed and I just learned about him.

a 13-year-old digital news site

Suuuuuuuure

Brother, the Hulkster just beat Gawker, AOL Time Warner, Wal-Mart and Andre the Giant for 500 billion dollars in front of 400,000 screaming Hulkamaniacs in the Superdome, brother!

Now, the only thing left is to crush Bubba the Ultimate Cuck at Wimba-lee, BROTHERRR!

I found out about this on the wresting sub before I saw it here and I found a few fun little tidbits (take some of this with a grain of salt):

  • Gawker's revenue for 2014 was only $45M.
  • Under Florida law, Gawker apparently has to post a bond for the full $115M judgement before they can file an appeal.
  • Apparently the defense invoked the fact that Nick Denton's mother was a holocaust survivor to try to win the jury's sympathy.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope SI buys them out, liquidates everything but Deadspin, and then puts Peter King in charge. "Sports Illustrated and Deadspin present: 10 Reasons I Think I Think Your Team Sucks."

Couple of things. The bond is capped at $50m currently, and they're trying to reduce it dramatically. The consensus from legal professionals is that it'll be overturned on appeal as Gawker has a strong case dealing with key witness testimony not having been heard, which sucks.

What we found inside a debtors' prison will shock you!

DeRosa was right, words don't mean anything anymore. "Free speech vs. privacy"? A video of a guy fucking is not the Platonic ideal of what "free speech" means. You aren't "entitled" to all content in existence as some convoluted form of speech.

How bout this, I can claim that owning property is a form of speech since I'm expressing my material desires, and use that as a defense when I smash someone's window and make off with their car. Hey man, free speech.

What imaginary opponent are you arguing against?

ANDRE THE GIANT

Or the supreme court's Citizens United ruling.

How is that related?

Hey dummy, if unions are people then corporations are people too

Hey smarty, you missed my point.

Yes because if money actually mattered that much Jeb Bush would have stomped Trump. Too bad it doesn't.

Do you realize how much free publicity Trump got from the media following his every word/move? Easily worth $100 million. Media barely covered the other GOP candidates.

What planet are you on?

What part do you disagree with?

The stupid parts, the fantasy and finally the retarded parts.

I just wrote something you never thought of and its blowing your mind away. "Oh no! Trump is just a creation of the media for ratings. And chumps like me are just being played"

It blows alright.

Y'all a buncha snickers anyway.

Get a load of Mitt Romney over here.

Hulk plants the leg drop on jew run tabloid

Jew run tabloid? Don't you know Jews run everything?

Hulk Hogan is now the Million Dollar Man

[deleted]

Anthony wouldn't be liable for that, SXM would be.

Actually, Hogan separately sued the owner of Gawker and the editor that published the thing separately, and he won. So by that logic, Ant could have been fucked too

[deleted]

[deleted]

Although the circumstances with ant weren't that he totally premeditated and systematically disseminated it on a news website. He just showed it real quick to the camera lens and the internet took over, right?

[deleted]

Well, there ya go. Still it might be different enough. Wiener purposefully sent that pic to some chic. That's her property then. Hogan was "unknowingly" recorded. In fact, his whole case rests on the fact that Terry's (not Hogans) privacy was violated

Came here to bring that up. Was it Breitbart who had the photo on their show? He's dead, but O&A sneakily got the photo and released it. I don't know how they could not be worried about this. That fucked up Anthony Weiner's life and career, and he was a major politician. His wife is Hilary Clinton's biggest lacky, and we know their legal influence.

That's different though. Wiener was a politician, a public figure. A large part of Hulks case was the Terry Bolea is a private citizen while the character Hulk Hogan is a public figure. It's really funny watching some of the courtroom footage from this case with Hulk talking about how the character Hulk Hogan's penis is 10 inches long but Terry's is not.

That's a lot of do-rags.

Now someone needs to go after that piece of shit Perez Hilton for drawing cumsies on their headshot.

That is probably the #1 person that I can't understand why has both respect AND a career from doing something like that. It's not even funny, and he'd be the first person to cry "hate crime" if anyone did anything close to that to him or another gay person.

There's an O&A bit from several years ago where they riffed on a Perez Hilton video.

http://youtu.be/ygj1eZKOo0c

The 'gay card' is the new race card.

I think Hogan is a piece of shit. After listening to him talk to his son while he was in jail over the jail house phone, I realized he was a terrible human being, but still, fuck Gawker. I just wish the money would have gone to someone who isn't worthless.

The Hulkster will be keeping the cash in the hole of the head of that guy his son almost killed.

You could eat cereal out of his head.

Edit: head

[deleted]

I choose to believe that the money is going to Hulk Hogan circa 1985, and nothing is going to shake me of that delusion.

HULKAMANIA FOREVER BROTHER

Sniff my finger brother, it's got your wife on it

Your mom's box!

-Gawker

I love it. Fuck Gawker.

Hogan deserves it, and fuck Gawker.

Nice. So as well as having what appeared to be a fairly large penis, Hulk now also has around 100 mill in the bank before tax and lawyer's fees. Let's call it at 55 mill and 8 and a half inches. Pat yourself on the back brotherman.

Hogan will see 25 million after taxes and lawyer fees

What taxes?

[deleted]

There's no way he pays 80% of his winnings to lawyers and taxes. The lawyers would get 10% at best and taxes possibly 35%.

Someones going shopping for a new bandana

I'm sure Hulk is happy right up until he realizes he lost his WWE career because of this. He's still persona non grata for the racism, isn't he?

The potential of $115 million, tax-free, is worth way more than he could make working for the WWE.

That and had to publicly admit he has a small pecka.

Pic? Yes, I wanna see a pic of Hulk Hogan's cock. I've been dreaming bout it since I was a wee lad.

If Bubba wasn't such a cheap fuck and actually bought an HD camera it would be visible LMAO. But seriously the funniest part of the case was him pleading that his dick was small, I thought he was going to be like "Look, I'll whip it out right now brother, I'll prove to you that it is small". He was so adamant that his dick was small haha.

For $115 million I'll swear in a court of law that I have a small dick also.

i think a name change would be in order too

Hulk has a beer can for a cock

His career was done anyway

Yeah but he was still making money off of video games and what not.

wrestling is a silly fucked up businesses, if the hulkster gets ratings up and puts butts in the seats some lesser fed like TNA would scoop him or he could go to japan

This made my day. Yes, that's how pathetic my life is.

King Kong Bundy is sending Gawker his regards.

This is fucking AWESOME!

The Hulkster should blow the money on three extremely expensive bandanas.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Fuck Nick Denton and that black cock in his mouth.

[deleted]

TIL: Hogan does not have a 23" python in his pants.

Hulk Hogan the character has a 23" python.

Terry Bollea the actor who plays the character has a little dick.

That is great! Gawker sucks & hope it comes out of Denton's pocket. Fuck you Denton & fuck you Gawker.

Denton and the editor were also sued separately by Hogan and they were found liable. This is a great day for normal non-celebrity fucking folks that hate these shitty ass websites

So after the appeal and inevitable settlement hogan should walk away with about 50 million give or take. Not bad

I am a real American, fight for the rights of every man

[deleted]

[deleted]

A victory for Hulk Hogan and his All-American legal team!

The hero who gave the Twin Towers the Big Boot gives Gawker the 1-2-3 pinfall!

not to be cpt obvious, but this will drag out through appeals etc.. judges can reduce the awarded amount if it's not deemed reasonable and who knows if gawker even has that sort of cash. Likely result? Hogan dies from old wrestler age before he sees a penny.

The Hulkster wont see a dime of that money.

I hope gawker employees end sucking dick for beer money & die early & alone

I wanna watch the sex tape with Real American dubbed over it.

At least Ant has SOMETHING he can be insanely happy about. This is the best thing he's heard in 2 years

HA! Suck a dick, Gawker! You fucking faggot assholes!

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll see myself out

Wow, none of you knuckleheads realize he isn't ACTUALLY getting 115 million? The award will be reduced by the judge or on appeal, as all over-the-top verdicts are. He'll probably get 15, if that.

Where did you get your law degree at? Your mother's cunt?

FUCK 'IM UP, HERPACIN!

There isn't a law school in my mother's cunt, you fucking idiot.

Tell us more.

They have to post the judgement as a bond before they can appeal. That's a pretty horse shit law, to be honest.

Hogan has done some shady shit himself. Just listen to the prison tapes between him and his son.
