Hulk Hogan Saves Teen from Flipped Car, Thanks God
By Movieguide® Contributor
Former WWE pro Hulk Hogan is used to making headlines for his championship wins and acting roles, but his latest accomplishment is a new one—pulling an imperiled teen from a car wreck.
“Last night, after we left dinner in Tampa, we saw a car flip in front of us!” Hogan’s wife, Sky, wrote on Facebook. “I truly admire my husband @hulkhogan and our good buddy @jakerask for springing into action, puncturing the girl’s airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car.”
TMZ shared photos of the wreck, which showed a maroon 4-door upside down over a wall of concrete Jersey barriers. Another depicts Jake Rask in mid-run to the car. Finally, Hogan and Sky look on with concern after the paramedics arrive.
“According to Hogan, the victim was ‘unscathed,’ though rattled. In the end, she called the entire ordeal ‘an absolute miracle,’” Faith Wire reported.
Hogan said that the airbags hindered the 17-year-old girl’s escape. He and his friend, Rask, were able to deflate the bags with a pen.
“The crazy part about the teenager that flipped her car was that without a knife to puncture the airbags to get her out, an Indian Rocks Christian ballpoint pen came in really handy to po[p] the bags, thank you God, all is well even now, Amen HH,” Hogan said on X.
Movieguide® reported on Hogan’s baptism last month:
Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky were recently baptized.
“Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life,” he wrote under a video of the couple being baptized. “No worries, no hate, no judgment…only love!”
…In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the wrestler wrote, “I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God, the main event theme of surrender, service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is, even now brother, AMEN!”
