We usually have a good laugh when someone pulls one over on a celebrity and makes them look a little foolish. In this case, however, Hulk Hogan had the wool pulled over his eyes by a Twitter troll and it has most people very, very angry.

Now professional wrestlers aren’t renowned as the most well-informed members of society but when someone sends you a picture of Maddie McCann, hands down the most famous missing child of the last ten years, you would think even the handle-barred muscle man would know better.

Alas, as Metro reports, this was not the case:

Many of his followers retweeted the picture while others replied to him trying to alert him to the fact that he’d been duped.

The backlash was so swift that @CarlRoney eventually changed his account to private and left his information as ‘go away’. Really, no mention of you being an aspiring comedian#part-time musician#full-time father#fitness junkie? Who are we kidding, this guy probably lives in his mom’s basement and sobs himself to sleep at night.

One Twitter prank that people found less offensive was when Donald Trump accidentally retweeted a picture of notorious serial killers Fred and Rose West, although that is more than likely because 99% percent of the intelligent world knows Trump is a complete tosser.

Who knows, maybe Hogan’s accidental retweet might lead to some new information regarding McCann coming to light. Anyone who has followed her story over the years will know that isn’t exactly likely.
