Hulk Hogan is asked the question every man fears
By Julia Marsh and Bruce Golding
Hulk Hogan cut himself down to size on Tuesday — testifying that his real-life manhood doesn’t measure up to the boasts of his larger-than-life character.
Day Two of Hogan’s $100 million invasion-of-privacy trial against the website Gawkersaw the pro wrestling legend admit that while his professional persona claims to have a 10-inch penis, he is really more modestly endowed.
During cross-examination in a Florida courtroom, Hogan was confronted with a 2006 interview about his genitalia.
The back-and-forth between Hogan and shock-jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem featured Hogan’s former best friend claiming, “I’ve seen it before” and saying, “hard, you’re probably 7 or 8 inches.”
“Dude, I’ve got size 15 (shoes), I wear a size 15 ring … Figure it out,” answers Hogan, who says a man’s penis is “two-thirds the size of your feet and hands.”
“So, Hogan, you’re claiming, you’re claiming to maybe have a 10-inch c–k?” Bubba asked.
“I’m not claiming. Those are the facts, Jack,” Hogan replied.
A lawyer for Gawker — which posted hidden-camera video of Hogan having sex with Bubba’s then-wife, Heather Clem, in 2007 — then asked if Hogan had “any doubt … that you were discussing the length of your penis?”
“Well, it’s not mine, because mine isn’t that size, but we were discussing the length of Hulk Hogan’s,” the former wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, replied.
“Seriously?” Gawker lawyer Michael Sullivan asked.
“No, seriously, I do not have a 10-inch penis. No, I do not. Seriously. Believe that. Seriously,” Hogan said.
Sullivan then asked if Hogan was “discussing Hulk Hogan’s penis.”
“Yeah, because Terry Bollea’s penis is not 10 inches, like you’re trying to say,” Hogan responded.
