Wayne Gretzky Shares Story Of He And Hulk Hogan Accidentally Ending Up With Each Other’s Christmas Gifts

Wayne Gretzky has a fun holiday season-themed story about Hulk Hogan. 

Hulk Hogan and Wayne Gretzky were once at the very top of their professions with Hulk Hogan being one of the most well-known professional wrestlers of all time and Gretzky being known as “The Great One” on the ice during his time as a hockey player. 

Recently, Gretzky appeared on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast and shared a story about “The Hulkster.” Gretzky revealed that one Christmas, due to a valet parking mix-up, they ended up with each other’s cars and each other’s Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve. 

“I got a great Hulk Hogan story. People don’t know this, but Hulk used to live in Thousand Oaks, too,” Gretzky began. “It was December 24 and we go to the Thousand Oaks Mall and I’m getting last-minute Christmas gifts for my kids who were at the time 10, 12, and 14. So I put them all in the car and they had valet parking at the mall. So I come out and put all my bags in the car and I drive home. 

“I get a call around seven o’clock,” he continued. “[Hulk Hogan] goes, ‘Wayne?’ and I go, ‘Yeah.’ He says, ‘It’s Terry. We got a problem.’ I go, ‘What’s the problem?’ He goes, ‘We we got the same exact car. I’ve got your car and your presents. You got my car and my presents.’ So I go outside and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, my kids are older. It’s probably not going to work. I’ll meet you halfway.’ So we drove back halfway together, we switched cars out, got the presents, and went home. True story.”

That’s the true story of how Wayne Gretzky saved Santa with Muscles from being on thin ice with his family for Christmas. Fans are more likely to believe that it is a true story because it came from Gretzky and not from Hogan. 

Speaking of, despite Hulk Hogan’s recent claims, there was never a plan for Nick Hogan to work with Shane McMahon at WrestleMania. Learn more here.
