Hulk Hogan and the remnants of Gawker Media have struck a confidential settlement agreement, rewarding the wrestler with millions of dollars.

"After four years of litigation funded by a billionaire with a grudge going back even further, a settlement has been reached. The saga is over," Gawker founder Nick Denton wrote in a blog post on Wednesday.

He said "Hulk Hogan's retirement will be comfortable."

As part of the settlement, Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, will receive $31 million in cash, according to a court filing.

2. The Gawker bloggers just moved over to its other properties, like Gizmodo.

Gizmodo who purchased stolen goods and constantly defames individuals.

Ironically, another of Gawker's 'remnants' is called 'Defamer.'

3. I'm not really familiar with the various Gawker remnants...

but I never cared a lot for Gawker itself. It was mostly a tabloid trash outlet.
