Then his followers started taking advantage of Hogan's retweeting spree in order to gain their own publicity by tweeting him messages containing photos of dark-skinned footballers and entertainers.

Hogan retweeted this tweet which contained an image of EPL football star Kolo Toure:

Things started getting ridiculous, this tweet that Hulk responded to is an album cover image for English hip-hop group So Solid Crew.

Thankfully Hogan stopped engaging with tweets as it finally clicked that pranksters were trolling him.
