#4. Former WWE Superstar Davey Boy Smith Jr.

Davey Boy Smith Jr. (AKA Harry Smith) had two runs in WWE. His first run started in 2006 and lasted for five years, during which time he won the World Tag Team Championships and the WWE Tag Team Titles alongside Tyson Kidd. However, he left the company in 2011.

In 2017, wrestling helped the former superstar save a woman's life. Smith Jr. was driving up 16th Avenue past Bowness road in Calgary when he saw a woman hanging off a bridge. The 36-year-old then stopped, jumped the barricade and started talking her out of committing suicide.

"She was crying and an emotional mess and threatening to jump if I got closer. With people on the ground waving her not to jump I decided to grab a hold of her and not take any chances. She started to slide and want to go more as I grabbed a hold her. Luckily my years of grappling and self defense I knew how to grab her HARD and how to pull her up from hanging off and jumping (...) When I yanked her off the bridge finally, I established the mount position as you do in Grappling and did not let her budge," he wrote in a Facebook post.

Although the woman told the former WWE Superstar that she had a gun, he did not let her go until the police arrived. Later in his Facebook post, Smith Jr. stated that he was glad to save a life.

"I'm glad I was at service to help somebody today and my years of grappling came into play. I really believe if I wasn't there and been able to grab her she would have jumped. It would have taken a few people at least to pull her off," he added.

The British Bulldog's son returned to Vince McMahon's company in July 2021. Nevertheless, the company released him from his contract four months later.
