After a year trying to get money from GAWKER after winning a defamation case (NET NEWS, 5/17/17), iconic professional wrestler HULK HOGAN is back in court -- this time against COX Talk WHPT (102.5 THE BONE)/TAMPA morning host MIKE CALTA, his former co-worker MATT ‘SPICE BOY’ LOYD and COX RADIO, which owns the station.

According to ABC ACTION NEWS/TAMPA BAY, a PINELLAS COUNTY, FL court judge ruled that a defamation lawsuit filed by HOGAN -- real name TERRY GENE BOLLEA –- against CALTA will move forward. The suit once again concerns the 2007 sex tape recorded by HOGAN’s former best friend, radio personality, BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE. HOGAN alleges CALTA and LOYD were involved in ‘stealing, disseminating, using and exploiting illegally-recorded video.’

In the latest ruling, the judge has ordered both radio personalities to respond within 20 days. HOGAN is seeking unspecified damages claiming the tape ruined his 35-year professional wrestling career.
