According to the Google, it will be 27 years since Wayne Gretzky retired from the NHL on Saturday, the same day as Wrestlemania.  Now there is no direct connection between the Great One and the GrandDaddy Event of them All, but there is a famous story involving Gretzky and a Hulk Hogan on Christmas Eve way back. Both lived in Thousand Oaks, California, and drove the same car. After using a valet at a local mall, they accidentally took each other's vehicles—meaning Gretzky drove home with Hogan’s family presents and vice versa. They eventually met halfway to swap back.  I wonder if Gretzky was giving out Hulk Hogan toys and if Hulk Hogan was giving out Number 99 jerseys.
