WWE Superstars are best known for their explosive performances in the ring. However, a larger-than-life performer like Hulk Hogan probably isn’t the first person you think of to pull a car crash survivor out of harm’s way. Still, that’s exactly what happened when the 70-year-old former pro wrestler extracted a young teen from an overturned car.

We’ve all seen it: an unfortunate wreck on the side of the highway. Many drivers think something along the lines of “Geez, I hope no one got hurt.” Well, former WWE Superstar doesn’t have to worry about one such motorist. 

On Sunday night, Hulk Hogan and a friend were out for a drive in Clearwater, Florida, when they arrived at the scene of a “multi-car crash.” According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Hogan and his friend approached the car and freed the teenage occupant by popping the deployed airbags with tools they had on hand. Sky Daily, the wrestling celebrity’s 45-year-old wife, was also in the car when the wrestler sprang into action. 

It’s a good look for the accomplished athlete; his 2015 racial slur scandal isolated him from the WWE. “It’s typical for Hulk, he has a big heart,” Linda Bose said in an email. Bose, a representative for the former professional wrestler, would certainly know him better than most. Still, a big heart doesn’t a hero make, and Hogan showed courage in helping a person in need.

Reports don’t detail which vehicle Hulk Hogan and company were driving on Sunday. However, it’s not ridiculous to think it’s one of the vehicles in the WWE Superstar’s world-class car collection.

For instance, Hogan has a 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat that would easily accommodate three occupants. The SRT Hellcat isn’t the only Mopar in Hogan’s collection. He reportedly owns a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, and a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. Better watch out, Bill Goldberg; Hulk Hogan is after your Mopar spotlight, brother!
