Christmas brings along happiness for everyone but mishaps can still occur. One such incident has been shared by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan which involved NHL legend Wayne Gretzky.
It has come to light that the mishap took place decades ago right before Christmas. Both Gretzky and Hogan recalled that it occurred on Christmas Eve.
They recalled that it happened when both were living just outside Los Angeles in Thousand Oaks. The two legends in their respective sports went on last-minute Christmas shopping and the valet mixed up the nearly identical cars of Gretzky and Hogan.
This led to Hogan driving home with Gretzky’s car–and presents–while Gretzky did the same behind Hogan’s car. Recently, on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Gretzky shared how he and Hulk Hogan accidentally wound up with each other’s Christmas gifts–and cars.
Hulk Hogan shares his thoughts on the incident
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Hogan shared his memories of that moment and he joked that he didn’t want to give the car back.
“I didn’t want to give the car back. He had all the expensive stuff in his trunk, I had toys in mine. I thought the presents might save my first marriage, but I had to give the car back.”
‘The Hulkster’ then laughed over the mix-up and said that hockey was not his passion sport while he was growing up. He praised the legendary Canadian NHL player Gretzky for having the ability to turn people into lifelong fans. We could tell that Gretzky managed to turn Hogan into a huge hockey fan.
