Hulk Hogan was forced to apologise after he accidentally claimed that Bam Margera was dead.
On Tuesday, the 64-year-old sparked concern after he tweeted a picture of himself and the Jackass star.
He wrote, “Damn Bam I wish you were still with us, I sure would love to hang out again my brother love u miss u HH.”
After noticing his error, the WWE veteran corrected himself by admitting that he had confused Bam with fellow Jackass performer, Ryan Dunn, who passed away back in 2011.

“Got Ryan and Bam mixed up sorry Bam!!! HH,” he tweeted.
Hulk deleted the tweets, but not before Pro Wrestling reporter, Ryan Satin, reposted his error.
He wrote on Twitter, “Hulk Hogan paid tribute to Bam Margera today, who — despite what Hulk Hogan thought — is not dead.”
Both Bam and Ryan Dunn were stars of MTV’s hit prank series Jackass. The stars of Jackass were left devastated back in 2011, when Ryan died following a fatal car accident at the age of 34.
