Belzer v. Bollea

Summary

Belzer v. Bollea 150 Misc. 2d 925 is a 1990 New York Supreme Court case between TV presenter Richard Belzer and professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. The case involved Belzer suing Hogan for personal injury after Hogan had put a sleeper hold on him, after Belzer had asked him to demonstrate one of his signature moves. The case was eventually settled financially out of court; however, the case continued to be heard for the purposes of additional attorney's compensation requested by Belzer's lawyers, which was denied by the court.
