Tragedy: Man Kills Toddler emulating Undertaker

A Pennsylvania young man killed an 18-month-old boy when he slammed the child to the floor while imitating the Undertaker's signature wrestling move. This according to cops. 
Cops say 20-year-old Brandon Hoffman was trying to do the Undertaker's "Last Ride" move; he intended to slam the child onto a bed but missed and fatally injured the boy. 

Hoffman told cops he had been watching the child while the boy's mother was at work and had successfully pulled off another wrestling move before the accident. 
Hoffman has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, endangering the welfare of a child, aggravated assault and more. Bail has been set at $150k.

A rep for the WWE tells TMZ Sports, "There is no excuse for a 20-year-old grown man to assault an 18-month old child, no matter what. Using a flimsy excuse about emulating a wrestling maneuver does not absolve Brandon Hoffman of this abhorrent crime. The death of Bryson Shoemaker is a tragedy, and WWE offers its condolences to the child’s mother, Sierra Shoemaker."
