10 Insane Reasons Wrestlers Got Sued

The legal history between Hulk Hogan and his ex-wife Linda Bollea is both confusing and complicated. Between them, the pair have sued and counter-sued more times than Hogan worked WrestleMania (probably, I haven't checked) and the precise arrangement they now have over who gets what percentage of whose money, is unclear.

One thing that is absolutely obvious though, is that all of this stems from Hogan's insatiable desire to have sex with women he isn't married to. Despite a marriage that had survived over two decades, rumours of his affairs were legendary by the latter part of the 2000s. Then, in 2009, sh*t really hit the fan, brother, when it emerged Hogan had been cheating on his wife with Christiane Plante... a friend of his daughter Brooke.

This led to an almighty divorce settlement that cost Hogan 70% of the family assets, $3m in property, and 40% of all future earnings. A few years later, the infamous Gawker case (you know, where Hogan had been caught shagging his best friend's wife) netted him a juicy $31m settlement, only for Linda to assert that Hogan was withholding specifics over his income and go after him for a slice of that.
