Inside Hulk Hogan's scandals and controversies inside and out of the wrestling ring through his decades in the public eye, before his death on Thursday, July 24 at age 71.

Hogan then pursued legal action, filing a whopping $100M civil lawsuit against the media company. In a landmark 2016 verdict, a Florida jury sided with Hogan, finding that Gawker Media had breached his privacy by releasing the tape, resulting in a staggering $140M award for the wrestler.

Hogan sued Gawker over the publication of the video in what became a long-running, multi-million dollar lawsuit bankrolled by billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel. Hogan eventually won the case, and Gawker agreed to a $31 million settlement which eventually led to the website going bankrupt.
