Wrestler Viction of Death Hoax, Blames Netflix and Diet Fresca

TCW World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Cornell is the Internet's latest victim of a death hoax.

On Wednesday morning, #RIPTommyCornell began trending nationwide on Twitter, alarming wrestling fans. The hoax came with a fake post on another news site, claiming that he died in a “fiery car crash".

It is 100 percent NOT TRUE.

Cornell is very much still alive. The wrestler and TCW majority stockholder has yet to issue a comment concerning the distasteful news.

TCW 85, opening on September 26, will feature a Beat the Clock challenge with three matches. Whoever wins in the shortest amount of time becomes the new number one contender to Tommy Cornell's World Heavyweight Championship and will face the confident Cornell in an Inferno match at TCW Hotter than Hell (part II).

"These rumors have got to stop" declared a wrestling fan at a local gym. "Some people are just sick."

Keep an eye out for further development in this incident.
