An actor and comedian who once appeared at WWE events became the subject of a police investigation after apparently threatening to commit suicide at Monday night’s “RAW” event at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.

On Monday, one-time WWE performer Jason Sensation posted a tweet in which he wrote that he “got his gun through security & will shoot myself in the head & kill myself during tonight’s #RAW in Toronto,” adding, “Don’t ya dare miss it!!! Thanks for memories @WWE.”

While the Twitter account was deactivated, screenshots of the tweet were posted online:

Jason Sensation is best known for portraying late wrestler Owen Hart in a comedy sketch on “RAW” in the late 1990s.

As TMZ reports, law enforcement sources say that police investigated the threat, but that no evacuation of the arena had been planned.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo tried to get in touch with Russo, sending him a tweet in which he wrote, “Brother, I hope you’re kidding.”

Brother, I hope you're kidding. Just tried calling and texting. Please, man—you have an army of people out here that care for you. Please. — Vince Russo (@THEVinceRusso) August 27, 2018

As it turned out, that’s exactly what the tweet was — an ill-advised and not-at-all-funny joke.

Wrestling writer John Pollack tweeted that he spoke with Toronto Police (who confirmed they were investigating) and then tweeted a followup. “We are with Jason Sensation now,” reads a police statement, “he was never at the Scotiabank Arena, all is in order.”
