What is your calculus? "Hulk Hogan" is a brand that has been around for almost 40 years. The release of the video ruined it; he was fired from the WWE. I don't know what the real number is, but significant value was lost.
- mcguire 11y agoAccording to the article, the portion of the tape that caused his firing was not included in the Gawker article. "Bollea's reputation took a huge hit last year, and he got fired from his job at World Wrestling Entertainment. That outcome wasn't fallout from the Gawker article, however. In a section of the sex tape that could be described as "pillow talk" (which wasn't published by Gawker), Bollea went on a racist diatribe. He repeatedly used the N-word and other racial insults, expressing disappointment that his daughter was in a relationship with a black man. The racial epithets were leaked by other news sites, including Radar Online and the National Enquirer."
