The TV show that WWE got sued for millions

This is the clip where Hulk Hogan ended up unintentionally injuring Richard Belzer the presenter. He sued and ended up apparently making millions (no one really knows how much). The presenter was such a prat trying to catch them out and really take the piss out of them. But the star of the whole thing is Mr. T who COULD NOT STAND the guy. This clip is brilliant. Then there are ads and the producer of the show has to take over!

Go to www.youtube.com, then click search users not clips and type in spotmarcus. It should be the first clip there.

note to moderators. i'm not trying to push my luck here. just showing how the linking can be done in an easier way.
let me know if you disagree with my method.

Terry · 20-02-2006 9:57pm

is it just me or was that the real life version of kermit the frog. watch for the wide open mouth expression.

Wow. It's hardly surprising the guy won a cash settlement.

Terry · 21-02-2006 2:03am

Mr. T didn't get involved because he pitied the fool.

LOL, what an idiot

I'd blame the 50 cripple kids that never showed up if i were in that situation as well.

how did he sue for that, he asked to be put in the hold, and then hulks explanation was that he fell and hit his head, that seemed to do the damage.

He was choked out before that. Like a UFC show. 1 way or another things went ary! I actually think I was wrong when I said he sued the WWE. I think it was a case where he threatened to sue them and there was an out of court settlement before the case began. Hogan talks about it in his book.

Hahahaha that was great! Woulda been better if Hulkamania ran wild all over his ass though, and then real american started playing, then the A-Team theme, and Mr T. made a gun outta that exercise thing and shot up the joint!

Apparently Belzer was able to buy a villia in the south of france with the proceeds of his out of court settlement. He calls it 'Chez Hulk'.

The guy reminds me of Vernon out of Teenage mutant ninja turtles...a total pussy.

Mossy Monk · 22-02-2006 1:55pm

a good actor though i think

Great clip.

from the trivia section in his IMDB bio.

Wrestler Hulk Hogan hurt him while demonstrating a wrestling move on a 1986 TV show called 'Hot Properties'. He was knocked unconscious and required stitches on his head. He sued Hulk for $5 million, but later settled out of court.

really stupid that he sued. he asked to be put in a hold. what did he expect?
i think the only thing that was hurt was his ego.
let's all go to america and sue someone for something really petty.

Nice find. I think that guy knew exactly what he was doing..

em.. was that the undertaker's music when the walk off stage?

Who was it who body slammed a TV presenter before, cracking their head, was it Giant Haystacks in the UK?

don't know about that, but the piece T refers to where a wrestler slapped a reporters head so hard that he burst his eardrum was Dr. Death Steve Williams(incidentally the real name of SCSA, thanks to Dr. Deaths existence steve austin was born)
