#3 The Undertaker

‘The Deadman’ is still very alive

Leave it to the media to fake the death of even a Deadman. The legendary Undertaker also found himself on the wrong end of a death hoax in 2014 when an article from Empire Sports claimed that he had passed away.

The disgusting part about this whole business is that the fake news is still up on the website and they even generated a fake quote from Taker’s wife, Michelle McCool about the whole fiasco. You can see the quote they attributed to her below:

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

“Being totally honest, I was going into the bedroom feeling completely in the mood. I saw that he was sleeping so I went to wake him and nothing. Not even a hint of him waking up. So I got worried and tried shaking him and shoving him and even hitting him across the back with a folding chair. Nothing working. I checked him breathing and there was a very short breath every few seconds. I called 911 and by the time they got here there was no breathing at all. They fought to bring him back and nothing”

It is one of the more blatant attempts at a death hoax and one that thankfully didn’t spread too far.
