Radiator explodes in Hulk’s hand, he’s too tough not to tweet about it

Jesse James just got a brand new rival to the title of toughest celebrity guy on Twitter. Hulk Hogan had a radiator explode in his hand and he just made sure every one of his half a million followers knew about it in gory detail.

Several hours ago, the wrestler pro started tweeting photos from his visit to the ER for a hand injury – accompanying the tweets with gruesome photos, for those of his fans who feel equally tough.

“Just had a radiator explode on my hand, OUCH,” Hogan began by saying.

“I at the ER now at Tampa General Hospital,” he continued.

He uploaded several photos that show his blistered, massively swollen hand, before he moved on to even gorier subject matter: photos of his hand as the doctor removed skin from it.

His final tweet in the series reads “Slimed like a cat” and includes a photo that perhaps only the strongest of heart can stomach.

As we also reported last week, Jesse James pulled a similar stunt after an accident at his garage that cost him his pinky.

James was working at the garage manning a machine when it slipped from his hands, presumably because of the gloves, and cut the tip of his pinky right off.

James too uploaded pics of the injury and even called in on TMZ on his way to surgery to explain what had happened.

“I was working in the shop today and my glove got caught into one of the machines and just smashed it, took my finger off,” he said.

“My wife and I were on the floor looking around for the piece of finger so we could put it on ice and haul [expletive] to the hospital,” he added.

The doctors could not reattach his finger but he still went into surgery.
