Hulk Hogan tells his side of the story.
Wayne Gretzky recently appeared on Theo Von's podcast and shared a story of how he and Hulk Hogan accidentally switched Christmas gifts.
"I got a great Hulk Hogan story. People don't know this, but Hulk used to live in Thousand Oaks, too. 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. [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," recalled Gretzky.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Hogan gave his point of view on the story.
“It was a lot better for Gretzky,” said a joking Hogan. “He had the more expensive gifts. 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."
Hopefully, you got everything you asked for this Christmas and didn't end up with someone else's gifts by mistake.
Unless they were better.
