The Horrible Story Of The Fake Bobby Heenan Twitter Account
It was a great story this past week when it looked like WWE legend Bobby Heenan had joined Twitter. It was an amazing story because Bobby Heenan was known for his voice but after throat cancer a couple years ago and other health problems he was having issues speaking in general. Older WWE fans will remember him as the voice of WWE alongside Gorilla Monsoon. It was an amazing story because Twitter gave him his voice back. The account (@RealBobbyHeenan) looked legitimate. It had the blue verified check mark and WWE stars were tweeting at him.

Turns out according to numerous reports, the Bobby Heenan twitter account is FAKE!!! Some sick individual was able to fake a profile and even get verified.
WWE Hall of Famer and his friend Mean Gene Okerlund announced that the account was a fake:
Bobby & Cyndi are two of my dearest & closest friends. Cannot believe these FAKE accounts @Cynthia_Heenan @RealBobbyHeenan UNFOLLOW. GO

Some more tweets confirming:
Why would someone be ignorant enough to impersonate Bobby Heenan on Twitter?
What a load of manure. https://t.co/vokOfnnDTs— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) July 2, 2016
Just talked with Bobby’s wife and sadly, both @RealBobbyHeenan & @Cynthia_Heenan are fake accounts. I’ll work with @Twitter to remove them.
