Hulk Hogan says Gawker publisher 'scared the hell out of me' during sex tape trial

In his first interview since being awarded $140 million in his lawsuit against Gawker, Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, opened up about the courtroom proceedings that followed the release of his sex tape, including a staredown with Gawker publisher Nick Denton.

“He scared the hell out of me,’’ Hogan told The New York Post. "Denton and I had a stare-down. He scared me staring at me, man. He just sat there staring. It was right after his cross-examination. He stood up and stared. It was like he was going to call me out at ‘Wrestlemania,’ Yikes!
