I disagree with Hogan that he has a right to go after Gawker, they only posted a snippet of a video they received, reported factual evidence that he was sleeping with Bubba the Shit Sponges wife and that's that as far as I know. Hell, it's pretty common knowledge that the Clem's allegedly leaked it. So much so that the woman settled with Hogan rather than go to trial. The difference is that she was party to a crime and Gawker really isn't. They reported on something, a loss here is a problem for all "new" media companies. They complied with a court order to remove the video as well, that should have been that.
I love how Hogan tried to get the court to allow him to wear his bandana and use Hulk Hogan as his name. They will allow a plain white or black Bandana and he must use his real name according to the court. Meaning to me he was hoping to capitalize on his celebrity to sway a court and jury.
