Nick Hogan Suing Bubba The Love Sponge Over Unreleased Hulk Hogan Sex Tape Scandal Documentary Update – Judge Dissolves Temporary Restraining Order Over Hogan Sex Tape Doc

As noted before, Nick Hogan, son of the late WWE Hall of Famer Hilk Hogan, filed a lawsuit earlier this month against Bubba The Love Sponge attempting to prevent the release of Bubba’s “Video Killer The Radio Star: The Untold Story Of The Hulk Hogan Sex Tape Scandal” documentary. Despite the lawsuit, a premiere screening was held for the documentary earlier this month in Florida that featured an edited version of the film being shown.

Post Wrestling’s John Pollock reported that a court hearing was held this past Wednesday before the Tampa Division of the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida.

Judge Thomas Barber reportedly ruled in favor of Bubba’s motion for the temporary restraining order against the documentary to be dissolved.

Pollock reported that while Barber dissolved the temporary restraining order, he ruled against Bubba’s motion to also have the lawsuit be dismissed.
