10 Wrestler Deaths That Were Sick Internet Hoaxes

9. Mark Henry

Dubbed the 'World's Strongest Man' by announcers, Mark Henry has been a part of the professional wrestling business for nearly 20 years. He's an intimidating presence who has proven to be something of a chameleon for the company, working with various different gimmicks as both a heel and a babyface. For some reason, Mark Henry is a very popular subject of celebrity death hoaxes. A quick Google search reveals dozens of questions on forums asking whether the man formerly known as 'Sexual Chocolate' has met his maker early. One forum thread in 2011 even suggested that he died live on an episode of SmackDown after a vicious beating at the hands of the Big Show. Despite the many rumours to the contrary, Henry is alive and well. Mind you, seeing Mae Young give birth to a hand is enough to scare just about anyone to death.
