Hilarious Story Of Wayne Gretzky & Hulk Hogan Got Their Cars Mixed Up On Christmas Eve

NHL icon Wayne Gretzky described how he and Hulk Hogan inadvertently unintentionally ended up with each other’s Christmas gifts during an interview on This Past Weekend with Theo Von.

Wayne Gretzky is referred regarded as “The Great One” for good reason—during what is unquestionably the most remarkable career in hockey history, he established a number of NHL records that are unlikely to be surpassed. After hanging up his skates, he found himself living outside of Los Angeles. He began his career with the Edmonton Oilers but also played for the Kings for eight seasons.

For more than an hour, Gretzky and Von talked about numerous amazing anecdotes, many of which concerned his days with the Oilers. The most entertaining tale, though, was perhaps the one that Gretzky told about how, after leaving a Thousand Oaks mall, he and former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan unintentionally drove off in each other’s cars.

“People don’t know this, but Hulk used to live in Thousand Oaks too,” Gretzky said. “It was December 24, we go to this Thousand Oaks mall, and I’m getting last-minute Christmas gifts for my kids, who were 10, 12, and 14. They have valet parking at the mall. So I get up, come out and put all my bags in the car, and I drive home. I get a call around  7, and he goes, ‘Wayne?’ and I go, ‘Ya,’ and he says ‘Terry here,’ I think his real name is Terry, and he says, ‘Terry…Hulk. We’ve got a problem.’”

“And I go, ‘What’s the problem?’ And he goes, ‘We’ve got the exact same car. I’ve got your car and your presents, and you’ve got my car and my presents.’ So I go outside, and he says, ‘Yeah, my kids are older, it’s probably not going to work.’ So we drove back halfway together, switched the cars out, got the presents and went home.

“The valet guys come out, and they’re the exact same cars. We weren’t really paying attention, because they’re the same colour, same car.”

Through interviews, Wayne Gretzky has been more willing to share these kinds of entertaining anecdotes in recent years, giving fans a closer look at the events that shape the lives of sports legends.
