Hulk Hogan's Widow Denies Ric Flair's Claim 'Street Drugs' Didn't Kill WWE Legend!!!

Published

Ric Flair's shocking claim that "street drugs" killed Hulk Hogan is simply not true ... this, according to the wrestling legend's widow, who tells TMZ Sports the Nature Boy was fed some bad info.

Flair recently addressed Hogan's death on the "DOUBL3 COVERAGE" podcast ... when he stated he spoke with Hulk the day before he passed about his deteriorating health.

Flair claimed Hogan's doctor stopped prescribing him pain medication to combat his numerous wrestling injuries ... so he resorted to unorthodox measures to deal with his suffering.

Dillon Gabriel Fiancée Under Fire ... For Shading Browns?!

Published | Updated

Fans are big mad at Browns QB Dillon Gabriel's fiancée Zo Caswell, after she appeared to take a shot at the team after Sunday's game ... but the WAG isn't just takin' the hate.

"Browns lost what's new 😂," Caswell captioned a TikTok video after Cleveland's 26-8 loss to San Francisco, a game started by Shedeur Sanders, and not her future hubby, which fans were quick to point out.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

"I don't remember these captions when ya man was qb1 😒," someone commented.

"Love you and your content but very disappointed in this caption😟 need to support this team weather he is in or not," another wrote.

Zo tried her best to stem the criticism, commenting on her own video ... though it doesn't look like it's workin'.

"For everyone complaining about the caption, I obviously am cheering for the Browns... it's clearly a joke. If we don't laugh, we cry"

With the loss -- Sanders first as a starter -- the Browns fell to 3-9 on the season.

After the game, Caswell likely didn't hear what she was hoping from head coach Kevin Stefanski, who announced Shedeur would start next week's game against the Titans, meaning her man, Gabiel, will once again serve as backup quarterback.

Shedeur and Dillon's relationship -- which hasn't seemed the best at times -- has been the focus of much attention going back to April's NFL Draft, when both players were selected just two rounds apart.

Guessing this latest incident won't make it any better.

Published

Lane Kiffin's sudden exit from Ole Miss for an SEC rival comes with a massive payday -- one that makes him one of the richest coaches in college football!

Kiffin -- who coached the Rebels the past six seasons -- was named the LSU Tigers' newest leader on Sunday ... and he reportedly signed a seven-year deal worth $91 million. This has him in the upper tier of the sport, comparable to top guys like Georgia's Kirby Smart, who inked a 10-year, $130 million extension in 2024, and Ohio State's Ryan Day ($12.5 million annual salary over seven years).

This move comes during Ole Miss' national championship hopes -- the Rebels are sitting at 11-1 and College Football Playoff bound ... and the fans haven't been shy about voicing their frustration.
