5 WWE Superstars who have saved lives
In the history of the WWE, there has been no shortage of superheroes. From the all-American beliefs of the 'Immortal' Hulk Hogan to the 'rise above hate' attitude of John Cena, there have been hundreds of Superstars who the WWE Universe has been able to rally behind on-screen.
But off-screen, there have been heroes in WWE in the unlikeliest of places. Some stars haven't just been a role model on WWE programming, but have even shown their own heroics off-screen, with very little fanfare.
A select few Superstars have even saved another person's life, often risking their own in the process. Whether it be helping a close friend or a perfect stranger, these Superstars personified being a hero. Here are five WWE Superstars who risked their own safety, to save the lives of someone else.
#5 Mr. Perfect
A former Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig is regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time to never hold the WWF Title. And though Hennig was never WWF Champion, his actions outside the ring definitely earned him the title of hero.
Being inducted posthumously into the WWE Hall of Fame by Baseball legend Wade Boggs, the Boston Red Sox star later told fans about when the pair went hunting. Speaking on a DVD, Boggs said how he had been caught up in barbed wire and would've easily bled to death if not for Perfect.
Uncoiling the wire, Hennig would carry Boggs to the nearest hospital, saving his life in a true act of heroism from the Perfect one, who sadly passed in February 2003, of a drug overdose.
