REALITY TV STAR and former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan is suing a Tampa Bay-based disc jockey, the DJ’s ex-wife and a New York media group over a sex tape.

According to a news release from Hogan’s publicist, two lawsuits will be discussed during a news conference later this evening Irish-time near the federal courthouse in Tampa.

Hogan says he was secretly taped six years ago having sex with the ex-wife of DJ Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem. Portions of the video of Hogan and Heather Clem were posted on the online gossip site Gawker.

Hogan has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Gawker.

Hogan’s real name is Terry Bollea.

I heard Hulk Hogan’s ex feared the wrestler would kill her in a steroid rage.Then she remembered wrestling is fake and got on with her life.

  Haemorrhoids are fairly itchy but I don’t think they would drive me to murder …

  Roids had nothing to do with it, multiple concussions were the cause

  I call bullshit, Steroids were simply not the cause of the Chris Benoit murders. Roid rage and all that shit is a myth.

The ‘love sponge’? Is that because he absorbs all fluids?

Its #Hulkamania… sometimes I think thejournal.ie just isn’t geared towards wrestling fans.

In an above comment someone called Hulk Hogan a slob. A professional athlete retired because of a back injury. Interesting.
