The civil trial between former wrestler Hulk Hogan and the website Gawker has been postponed.

The trial had been scheduled to begin Monday.

On Thursday, the 2nd District Court of Appeal filed a procedural opinion regarding trial rules. It said some defense motions had been filed too close to the scheduled start date for the trial to begin then.

No new date has been set.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, sued Gawker after it posted a minute and a half video clip of the former wrestler having sex with Bubba the Love Sponge Clem's wife.

He seeks $100 million from Gawker for posting the video of him and Heather Cole, the ex-wife of Hogan's one-time friend and radio show host. Hogan settled a separate lawsuit with Cole earlier this week.

The former pro-wrestler had said the tape, recorded in 2006 and posted in 2012, was made without his knowledge.

Gawker says it had the right to publish the edited video because Hogan talked in detail about his sex life before the video's release, which made the story newsworthy.
