I meant to get a couple stories up before bed, but I fell asleep. Eh, shit happens. Luckily, the Hulk Hogan v. Gawker trial is on live now and they’re picking up where they left off yesterday, with Hogan’s cross-examination. I’ll update the article with more news and info as I get settled in.
We're back in session here. Hogan now approaching the stand once again. Round 2 of Gawker's cross-examination about to begin. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan is back on the stand, being cross-examined by Gawker attorney Michael Sullivan. #hulkvsgawk

Sullivan plays a clip from TMZ in which Hogan boasts about sleeping with several women after his divorce. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan responds: “I was in character and I embellished a little bit about the number of women." #hulkvsgawk

Shortly after Gawker posted the sex tape, Hogan went on a TMZ show and joked: “Thank God it wasn’t a guy.” #hulkvsgawk

When Hogan discussed his thong-induced tan line on TMZ, he says that too was an extension of his character. #hulkvsgawk

That's similar to what Hogan's attorneys have said: that Gawker could have covered it without showing the footage #hulkvsgawk

Dixie Carter, the author of the email, was baffled that Hogan's attorney permitted the TMZ interview #hulkvsgawk

Gawker's lawyer is really good. They were smart to let this nice-sounding, genial guy do the Hogan cross. #HulkVsGawk

The Gawker attorney doing Hogan’s cross-ex, Michael Sullivan of LSKS, is a very, very good trial lawyer. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan says he's still suffering from Gawker's tape. "I never got my guard back up. I never have. This is still tearing me up." #hulkvsgawk

"I'm not the same person I was since all this craziness happened." – Hogan #HulkVsGawk

I’ll keep updating this post throughout the day. I’m about to go write some other stuff while I watch this off to the side. When I see some articles published with excerpts from the earlier stuff, I’ll put them up here.
In the clip, Hogan apparently told listeners that he would reveal penis length if they kept daughter's album at no. 1 #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 8, 2016
"Seriously, I do not have a 10-inch penis." – Hogan #HulkvsGawk

Daulerio was "very enthusiastic about writing" about tape, and that he enjoyed watching it. Why? "Because I found it amusing." #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 9, 2016
Were you encouraging people to watch the tape at work?
“I was telling them it was my opinion that it was worth the risk.” #hulkvsgawk— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 9, 2016
Daulerio is asked if he would be embarrassed if a sex tape of him surfaced, he says: "If something went horribly wrong." -RK #HulkvsGawk
