5 WWE superstars who were victims of a death hoax

#4 Hulk Hogan

The Hulk Hogan death hoax news spread like wildfire in 2014

Hulk Hogan’s been having a pretty rough time lately. Following the whole fiasco with Gawker which led to the WWE ending all association with The Hulkster, he was subjected to a rather strange death hoax in 2014.

A news website called MediaMass.net claimed that he had passed away and encouraged people to pass on their condolences by liking their Facebook page. It seemed like an ill-devised attempt at garnering some social media publicity and not one that worked out very well.

Hogan remained active on Twitter mere days after the news broke but did not deign to address the rumours himself directly.
