    Gabriel, a typical teenage boy, lived in this orderly neighborhood. He was a huge fan of wrestling, especially Hulk Hogan.

    One day, he made a wish on a shooting star. 'I wish I could be Hulk Hogan in the 80s,' he whispered into the night.

    Gabriel woke up the next morning to find himself transformed. He looked in the mirror and saw Hulk Hogan staring back at him.

    He was now Hulk Hogan, the wrestling icon. He looked exactly as he did in the 80s, muscular with blond hair and wrestling gear.

    Gabriel found himself in a wrestling arena, surrounded by screaming fans. He was about to face his first wrestling match as Hulk Hogan.

    He was nervous but excited. He stepped into the ring, the crowd roared in anticipation. Gabriel was living his dream.

    But, there were challenges too. As Hulk Hogan, Gabriel couldn't attend school or hang out with his friends. He missed his old life.

    He realized that being a wrestling icon was not as glamorous as it seemed. He decided to make another wish.

    That night, Gabriel looked up at the stars. 'I wish to be myself again,' he said, hoping the stars would listen.

    The next morning, he woke up in his own bed, in his own body. He was Gabriel again.
