Fans pointed out Hulk’s error – confirming Bam is alive and well
Obviously, fans immediately pointed out that Bam Margera was still alive and doing well.
As soon as Hogan realized his mistake, he corrected himself. He revealed that he had mistaken Bam Margera for Ryan Dunn. Tragically, Dunn passed away in a car accident in 2011.
In fact, Dunn and Margera were close friends, and they both starred in the comedy series, Jackass.
Now, after correcting himself, Hogan deleted the entire thread but of course, the Twitter Audience ensured to take screenshots of the same and post it all over the Internet.
While it wasn’t ethically correct to call out Hulk Hogan for his genuine mistake, the WWE Hall of Famer could have fact checked before posting about it.
Nevertheless, this happened, and sometimes, the fans still talk about it.
