The case pitted Gawker’s right to “freedom of the press” against Hogan’s “right to privacy” and has been closely watched. Ultimately, the Hulkster scored a massive win with a $155 million victory.

Not only will Gawker owe Hogan money, but also founder Nick Denton and editor A.J. Daulerio. The awarded money breaks down to $55 million in economic injuries and $60 million in emotional distress. 

In the aftermath of the sex tape, Hogan was not only fired from WWE but was also erased from the company’s history and from the Hall of Fame. If that isn’t enough embarrassment, Hogan had to discuss the size of his penis at length during the trial. This means that there are now public documents discussing the size of the Hulkster’s penis. 

Denton says that he will appeal the decision saying that important evidence was not heard by the court.
