Hulk Hogan On A Possible WWE Return, Being Determined To Hold Gawker Accountable, More (Video)
As seen above, Hulk Hogan appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" today to discuss his legal win over Gawker, his WWE future and more. Below are highlights:
How determined he was to hold Gawker accountable:
"I told my wife, I said, 'If I had to get my situation where I had to sell everything and borrow money and do whatever, I will not stop. They actually picked the wrong guy.' I don't know how to tell you, I took it real personal. [Gawker] was hoping that, financially, I wouldn't be able to stay in the game with them, and I'd quit or tap out or something. I felt like I had this monster on my shoulders no matter where I went."
Not hearing the number he was awarded at first:
"I went upstairs with my whole crew. And everybody was excited. And I heard somebody say something about, 'the number was unbelievable.' And I said, 'Well, what was the number?' I didn't hear the number. I was so overwhelmed that people actually believed me, it just — it was like white noise at that point. I didn't hear anything else."
WWE:
"It would be really nice to be, you know, in the Hall of Fame. But it's not as important as what we did with this case. I don't think you can destroy my legacy, you know, because the fans know Hulk Hogan and know what flipped the switch on this industry ... it would be great to be part of the Hall of Fame and be legitimate and be, you know, looked at by the establishment of the WWE as back in good graces. But if it doesn't happen, you know, it'd be sad. But I can look at myself in the mirror and be happy."
