The WWE Universe see many of their favourite WWE stars as their heroes. Whilst WWE Superstars play larger than life characters on the big screen, it seems that some of them have proven that they really are heroes in the real world.
Many current and former WWE stars have proved that they are worthy of the term heroes by going above and beyond and saving lives of innocent people involved.
Many of these Superstars didn't need to step in when they did, but the people who were involved in these events will agree that many of these stars are not just heroes on screen but stepped into the shoes of real-life superheroes the first time their humanity was tested.
#10 Chris Masters
Chris Masters was known as "The Masterpiece" throughout his time with WWE, but he proved just how much of a masterpiece he was outside of the ring back in 2013 when he managed to rescue his own mother from a hostage situation.
It is reported that Masters' mother was the victim of a hostage situation at her own home when a neighbour forced their way in and then threatened to set fire to the house if the police tried to stop him.
Masters' uncle then alerted him that his mother was involved in this situation and by the time he got there the house was already on fire. Masters took matters into his own hands and uprooted a tree, threw it through the window, located his mother and then led her to safety.
It seems that this neighbour definitely chose the wrong mother to mess with since Masters also revealed that he gave the hostage taker what he deserved when he got in there.
#9 Bam Bam Bigelow
There was no question about how tough Bam Bam Bigelow was when he was inside a wrestling ring but he proved just how tough he was outside of it back in 2000 when he risked his life to save three children from a fire near his home.
Bigelow recalled that he saw the three children playing with firecrackers outside of their home before they caused a fire. He said he did what any other person would do when he ran in to save them.
The story doesn't have the happiest of endings though since the former ECW Champion suffered second-degree burns over 40% of his body.
The injuries forced him to retire from wrestling after he had spent two months recovering in hospital from his injuries.
#8 Shad Gaspard
Shad Gaspard made a name for himself as part of a tag team called Cryme Tyme in WWE, but ironically, he made headlines back in 2016 when he was the one who was preventing a crime.
Shad managed to stop an armed robbery at a convenience store when the would-be robber pulled out a gun but Shad then charged at him, slammed his head against the door, dragged him outside and locked him in a rear-naked choke hold.
At this point, it seems that his former Tag Team partner JTG noticed what was happening and alerted the police. It was later revealed that it was an airsoft gun, but Shad didn't know that at the time so he risked his life to ensure that no one in the store was harmed.
#7 Diamond Dallas Page
Diamond Dallas Page has become well-known over the past few years for changing peoples lives and sometimes saving them through DDP yoga.
It seems that Page made international news when he was able to save the life of army veteran Arthur Boorman, a former soldier who was told that he would never be able to walk without his crutches again after his surgery was botched when he was injured during the Gulf War.
Authur believed them and spent 15 years feeling depressed, gaining weight and waiting to die. He then found DDP Yoga and after shedding 120lbs in 10 months he was incredibly able to walk again.
DDP has helped so many wrestlers over the past few years including legends like Scott Hall, X-Pac and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, but it seems that Arthur's story is the one that has touched many of the WWE Universe.
#6 Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt is one of the creepiest stars on WWE TV currently, but it seems that outside the ring he has the same human emotions and intentions.
Former WWE star JTG shared the story about Bray Wyatt's daring rescue in his book: Damn! Why Did I Write This Book Too: How to Play The Game. JTG claims that he and Wyatt were sharing a rental car and driving alongside Alex Riley and Big E when a car nearly sideswiped them before driving off and not causing them any damage.
A few minutes later, the same car sideswiped Big E and Riley, knocking them off the road. At this point, Wyatt had decided that he was going to catch up to the car and deal with the situation. Wyatt and JTG were going to catch up to the driver and physically teach him a lesson, but the driver lost control of the car and did six barrel rolls into the side of the highway.
The car landed upside down and was smoking, JTG decided that he wasn't going to approach it, but Bray ran over, pulled out a teenage girl and then struggled to pull out the driver, so JTG was forced to assist.
The teenagers were apparently speeding because they were late for a high school game, so Bray called 911 and left the scene before the police arrived to avoid any unwanted attention.
#5 CM Punk
CM Punk has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past few years since he walked away from WWE back in 2014. And it seems that the WWE Universe has forgotten the good that Punk did whilst he was part of WWE.
Punk helped a number of WWE stars through the Straight Edge Society, but most notably his friend Joey Mercury. The former Tag Team Champion was battling a drug addiction that almost cost him his home until Punk stepped in and loaned him the money to save himself.
Punk later helped his friend to get clean and brought him back to WWE as a member of the Straight Edge Society, Mercury has since gone on to have another lengthy stint in WWE thanks to CM Punk over the past few years.
#4 Shawn Davari
Shawn Davari is remembered as one of the most hated heels that WWE ever created. Along with Muhammed Hassan, Davari was known for their racist promos throughout the early 2000s that eventually got them fired for being too controversial.
While travelling on a light-rail train, Davari saw a drunken man shouting insults at passengers before he stepped up his game to include death threats. Davari decided that he had heard enough and decided to step in and restrained the drunken man with a rear-naked choke hold and leg scissors.
The drunken man was then thrown off the train at the next stop by Davari and another passenger so that the rest of the passengers could go about their business in peace. The people on the train were thankful that things didn't turn violent and the whole incident was caught on camera to prove the former wrestler's heroics.
#3 Chuck Palumbo
Chuck Palumbo became well-known for his motorbike riding character on WWE TV, but it was whilst he was driving along a road in California in a car, that he became a real-life superhero.
Palumbo noticed a car that was on its roof at the side of the road and decided to pull over and check that there wasn't anyone stuck in the car. As he got nearer to the crash site he realised that there was a woman who was pinned inside.
The woman began to drift in an out of consciousness but incredibly, Chuck managed to lift the car up so that she could free her arm before climbing into the car to unbuckle her seatbelt and help her to safety. It seems that the woman was lucky that someone as strong as Chuck was in the vicinity.
#2 Mr Perfect
Mr Perfect is a WWE Hall of Famer and one of the biggest legends that WWE ever created, but it seems that his legacy also stretches outside of the wrestling ring as well.
When Curt Hennig took his place in the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2007, he was inducted by his friend and Red Sox legend Wade Boggs. In a DVD that was released following his Hall of Fame induction, Boggs recalled the time when Hennig saved him from almost certain death whilst out on a hunting trip in 2001.
The duo were out hunting when Boggs become caught on a barbed wire fence, Boggs was immobilised due to deep lacerations in his leg and would have bled to death if his friend didn't act quickly.
Hennig managed to uncoil the wire that was trapping his leg before then carrying his friend back to their truck and straight to a hospital before he lost too much blood, which saved his life.
#1 Perry Saturn
Perry Saturn is one of the biggest unsung heroes in wrestling history. Back in 2004, Perry was driving his girlfriend to work in Atlanta when he came across a woman who was being raped by two men.
Being a former Army Ranger, Perry sprung into action and managed to fight off her two attackers before he was then shot, once in the shoulder and once in the neck. Saturn then became addicted to painkillers following this incident which means that this story doesn't have a happy ending.
Saturn has overcome his addiction and his homelessness in recent years, but it was revealed that he was now struggling with a number of brain problems and has reached out for the support of the WWE Universe.
