Why? That seems like an important piece of evidence.
- btlsformerfan99 10y agoI used to listen to Bubba the Love Sponge--the guy who's house the tape was made in--back during that timeframe (before I knew what kind of a horrible person he apparently is). On an almost daily basis Bubba talked on air about he had cameras all over his house and taped everything. I find it very hard to believe that me--a random radio listener--knew that he taped everything in his house, but supposedly his best friend Hulk Hogan was oblivious.
- mikeyouse 10y agoCynically, because it was a small-town judge from Hogan's home town who resented NYC-based Gawker.
