The festive period can sometimes be hectic and stressful. The crazy last-minute shopping can also be tiring and lead to confusion. This particular task of shopping for gifts once got two sporting icons Hulk Hogan and Wayne Gretzky into huge trouble.

At the “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von” podcast, Gretzky revealed how he and Hogan once accidentally took each other’s cars. The incident took place years ago when they both arrived at a mall for last-minute shopping. Since both had the same cars with the same color, the NHL legend by mistake took the wrestling icon car. Hogan has now shared his side of this hilarious story.

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.

Hogan is himself regarded as one of the greats of the wrestling industry. “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan has played a huge part in the success of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) now called World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Hogan’s son Nick played ice hockey at the youth level. Growing up just like every other kid, he was awestruck by the genius plays of Gretzky. However, at that point, he did not know that his father was friends with the man he idolized. Despite Hogan telling him this, the kid refused to believe it until he saw them hanging out together with his own eyes.

I remember telling my son I knew Wayne Gretzky, but he wouldn’t believe me. When Gretzky came in for a game, we went to see him play. The moment he saw me, Gretzky gave me a hug. My son couldn’t believe it.
