2. Hulk Hogan Says He Doesn’t Care About $140 Million He Won In Gawker Lawsuit, Possibly Returning To WWE & More
During a recent interview with FOX 411, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan noted that he doesn’t care about the $140 million he won in the Gawker lawsuit and that he wants to return to WWE. Below are the highlights:
Hulk Hogan says he doesn’t care about the $140 million:
“It wasn’t the money for me because in my life I’ve had a lot of money before, and I was very unhappy for other reasons. It was my personal life. But the last thing I wanted was that feeling again, and I knew that if I had done something to settle I would be unhappy because I knew what the truth was, and I knew how it devastated me, and it still makes me cower and not be the Hulk Hogan I used to be. When I leave my house and I meet people what do they think? Did they see the tape? What do the kids think?”

Hope that the victory can help restore his reputation:
“The good part is my fans, my kids, my wife Jennifer – the people that know me, know who I am, and the whole WWE universe – the fan base – they know who I am. And for the people that don’t know who I am hopefully by apologizing and being accountable, and over time hopefully I can win people back.”
Possibly getting back with WWE:
“Wrestling has always been my life, and the whole thing was erased and taken away from me. The WWE universe, the fans, and everybody are my family, you know, I’ve gotten nothing but respect for the whole crew that runs the whole WWE. I understand they had to do what was best for business in this case but at the end of the day, they know I’m not a racist. They’ve known me for 35 years. They know who I am.
I made a dumb mistake, did something horrible that I’ll forever regret, but if I had a chance to ever come back home to WWE, the first thing I’d love to do is punch Vince McMahon right in the nose. That would be a dream come true.”
