Hulk Hogan and Gawker Returning to Court Tomorrow

In other courtroom news, Hulk Hogan and Gawker will once again head to court tomorrow in Tampa, Florida, as a hearing is scheduled regarding Gawker’s attempts to appeal the $140 million financial ruling in favor of Hulk Hogan for publishing Hogan’s sex tape.

According to The New York Post, Hogan has filed a motion requesting that the court not allow the appeals process to move forward unless the defendants put up $50 million each in escrow so if they lose the appeal, Hogan will be paid the initial judgment he was awarded.

Taz Reacts to Cody Rhodes Release

On the latest edition of his show “The Taz Show”, host Taz weighs-in on Cody Rhodes requesting his release from WWE and provides insight into the mindset of talents who feel they are not being used properly:

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
