UH OH: Gawker in the fight of its life with Hulk Hogan sex-tape suit. “Nick Denton is preparing for the biggest fight of his life. The Gawker Media founder and C.E.O.’s opponent: celebrated professional wrestler Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea), who sued Denton and Gawker in 2012 after the gossip blog published a supercut of his sex tape and refused to take it down. The case has seen numerous twists and turns over the past three years, but it’s finally set to come to trial in Pinellas County, Fla.—where Hogan lives—on July 6.”
