By Ed Biggs in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 02 November 2016
The lawsuit between Gawker and Hulk Hogan, over the publication of the now-infamous sex tape, has finally been settled for a sum believed to be around $31 million.

By Stephanie Chase in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 31 August 2015
The former WWE wrestler has appeared on the US morning show to apologise for the racist remarks he was caught on tape making.
Hulk Hogan has appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ to apologise and ask for forgiveness after he was caught on tape using racist language in an audio recording which was leaked last month. The former wrestler has denied being a racist but said that it would be "fair" to say he inherited a racial bias from his upbringing in Tampa.
Brooke posted the poem on her Facebook account just hours after her dad became the center of racism scandal which saw him loose his WWE contract and be dropped as a judge on reality series ‘Tough Enough’. ‘If you knew the dad I knew, you'd know his tender heart,’ Brooke wrote.

“I was talking on the phone with Sly last night about doing The Expendables 4,” Hogan told the audience. "We’re trying to figure out a way to maybe turn me into the most evil man in the world, so.

By Stephen Caswell in Bizarre / Weird Wonderful on 26 March 2015
Snoop Dog and Hulk Hogan teaming up to take down Curtis Axel is the best thing that no one asked for.
By this point in modern popular culture, one could assume that all the greatest combinations have already been discovered or made. We already know of all the simple pleasures like peanut butter and chocolate and puppies in funny costumes, so surely there isn't anything new that can come from pairing two usually unpaired things. 'Not so!' cried WWE, and thus the world was introduced to the concept of Hulk Hogan and Snoop Dog joining forces to beat up a professional wrestler.
In a recent episode of Wrestlemania, wrestler Curtis Axel was all set to begin the take-over movement of #Axelmania. That is, until Snoop Dog chose to promote the event, leading to a twitter exchange between the two, and Axel crashing the Snoopmania party. At this point, Snoop and Axel took some time to do the usual WWE thing and hurl PG13 abuse at one another. Until Snoop unveiled his secret weapon.

By Stephanie Chase in Movies / TV / Theatre on 10 April 2014
The Ultimate Warrior, who passed away today, will be forever remembered by WWE fans for his legendary career
The passing of the Ultimate Warrior has come as a tragic and sudden shock to WWE fans past and present. The man who was born James Hellwig and legally changed his name to Warrior had, in the last four days, made a triumphant return to the wrestling spotlight, and taken his place among their Hall of Fame legends. Now his untimely passing has brought a tragic end to what should have been a celebration of the career of one of wrestling’s most iconic figures.
Any writing on the Ultimate Warrior this week was supposed to be concerning his return to the WWE fold and his induction into their Hall of Fame on Saturday. It was supposed to be on how last Sunday, he remerged to a reception worthy of a Hall of Famer, how on Monday he appeared on WWE Raw to don the mask and jacket and shake the ropes as the Ultimate Warrior once again. The speech he gave on Monday night has now become even more poignant, as he told fans, "every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life what makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalised. By the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honour him and make the running the man did live forever.’' For his legions of fans, the Ultimate Warrior was one superstar who could never be forgotten.
