Hogan may have won the defamation suit he filed for the shoot too lol

man american business contracts are insane lol

 

[Chris]

And then I believe not long after they did the Goldberg going "off script" worked shoot lmao

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

If Russo knew that Hogan had creative control, why book him in that match in the first place?

 

[Hidden Blaze]

He didn’t. The court ruled since it was a wrestling show and he wasn’t actually Hulk Hogan but that was his character It wasn’t defamation of character. But he did settle out of court with Turner on something else. Unless I misunderstood all that. But yeah

oh thank fucking shit, judge had some sense

 

[Chris]

Good thing Russo didn't full shoot and call him Terry then lmao

 

[Comrade Khan]

they prob still agreed to pay out a portion of his contract i imagine, since going back to work wasnt gonna be an option

 

[Chris]

Yeah Hpgan was still under contract with Turner even after WCW closed

 

[Comrade Khan]

those contracts were ironclad lol

 

[Chris]

Or Warner Bros at the time I guess

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

IRONCLAD CONTRACT!

 

[Chris]

You could get a buyout tbh, most just didn't bc they could get paid for doing literally nothing

 

[Comrade Khan]

probably a low key reason why WWE put everything in their favor in theirs now

 

[Chris]

DDP took one and debuted for WWE earlier
