Belzer v. Bollea

Belzer v. Bollea 150 Misc. 2d 925 (N.Y. Misc. 1990) is a 1990 New York Supreme Court case between TV presenter Richard Belzer and professional wrestler Hulk Hogan (whose real name is Terry Bollea). The case involved Belzer suing Hogan for personal injury after Hogan had put a sleeper hold on him. 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.^[1]
