Case Against Hulkster Settled: Wrestling fans hoping for an in-court re-enactment of Hulk Hogan’s notorious chin lock on comedian Richard Belzer will be disappointed. A lawyer for Hogan and the other defendants--including “The A Team’s” Mr. T--has settled Belzer’s $5-million lawsuit out of court. Jury selection in the case had been scheduled to begin in New York on Tuesday. Belzer needed several stitches to close a head wound he suffered when Hogan used him as a practice dummy during a demonstration on a March, 1985, edition of Belzer’s cable TV show. Mr. T and the Hulkster were on the show to promote an up-coming “Wrestlemania” tag-team bout.
