Goodbye Gawker!

Also, I moved this thread to general.

Thanks, meant to put it there initially anyway :)



Damn. I'm still annoyed that he didn't put Michaels over at summerslam.

Wow. Rape victims get less. Fuck you again Hogan.

I feel like you don't understand how these values are determined.  

They aren't decided mostly by how much they think the damages are worth, but often by how much it would hurt those they are taking from.

I understand. This and several racial comments is why Hogan was released from the wwe recently. I doubt he would have made even 50 million in that time since though but I can see how it would hurt him business wise going forward. 

 

Doesn't make it any less bullshit imo.

 

Edit: googled his net worth... 8 million.... Before this.



Fuck Gawker.

Glad Hulk dropped the big leg on 'em.



                            

Good riddance. Also this is so hilarious on so many levels. There was a point when Hulk said to himself, hey I'll probably win this in court. And gawker management said hey, he'll lose. You know what it means, outsmarted. By a wrestler.

Who even needs comedy movies when there is life.

This was an interesting rundown of Gawker's finances/financial dealings/ financial movements

Such an unreasonable amount of money, will probably result in a loss of hundreds of jobs.

And didn't know Kotaku was so disliked around here. What did they do? Say something positive about Xbox?
