A lot of you may remember Shad Gaspard’s heroic actions as this story was very recent,
December 2016 in fact! But to those of you who didn’t know, Shad Gaspard stopped an
armed robbery at a Florida convenience store. Who knows what that armed robber would have
done to get his money. You could say Shad stopped a potential murder that could have
happened. The armed man pulled out a gun on Shad after forcefully asking him to buy him
a beer. He then went on to say to Shad that he was going to rob this place so he better
leave. However, Shad was having none of it so he charged at the man and slammed his head
into the exit door, pulled him outside into the street and placed the robber into a rear
naked choke hold. At this point JTG noticed what was happening and phoned the police alerting
them to the scene of the crime. Although it turned out the gun was an airsoft gun, it
was still a heroic move on Shad’s part as he risked his life to prevent an armed robbery.
Pretty ironic considering he was one half of the Cryme Tyme gimmick.
Diamond Dallas Page’s story made international news when he saved the life of disabled army
veteran, Arthur Boorman, through DDP yoga. Arthur was told by doctors that he would never
be able to walk unassisted again, after a botched surgery he underwent after he was
injured during the Gulf War. For 15 years, Boorman believed them. He was very depressed,
waiting to die and as a result, his weight ballooned to 297 lbs. But once he found DDP
yoga, he managed to shed 140lbs in 10 months and most impressively, he regained his ability
to walk. It is truly an amazing story and I would definitely recommend you all to watch
the transformation video on DDP’s YouTube channel.
Chuck Palumbo became a real life superhero after he saved the life of a woman who was
trapped inside a car that had flipped over. The former WWE wrestler was driving down a
rural road near his home in El Cajon, California when he noticed a car that appeared to be
flipped over on its side. He proceeded to get out of his car and check the flipped car
when he noticed a woman pinned between the steering wheel with her arm trapped under
the car. The woman was also drifting in and out of consciousness. Amazingly, Palumbo managed
to lift the car up for the woman to free her arm. He then climbed on top of the passenger
side of the vehicle and unbuckled her seat belt and lifted her out of the car. See, not
all heroes wear capes.
The Masterpiece, Chris Masters also became a hero when he saved his mother from a crazed
neighbour who had set his mother’s house on fire. Masters called the police after negotiating
with the crazed neighbour but it was at this moment the neighbour started setting the house
on fire. The only way to get into the house was through a window that was blocked by a
ficus tree. You see where this is going… Masters proceed to lock the tree in a Master
lock and ripped the tree from its root and threw it across… Ok, maybe it wasn’t exactly
like that but Masters did indeed pull the tree from the ground and tossed it through
the window. He entered the burning home, located his mother and led her to safety. The neighbour
was later pulled from the home and charged with arson. It is unclear what set off the
neighbour.
Big Bam Bigelow was one tough guy. The tattoos on his head actually says it all really. Bigelow
risked his life in 2000 to save three children from a burning house near his home. In an
interview, Bigelow recalled the kids playing with big firecrackers which ended up creating
a fire in the house. He did what he said anyone else would have done and heroically charged
through the flames to rescue the three children. However, his efforts left him with second
degree burns over 40% of his body and he spent 2 months recovering in hospital. It’s a
shame that he could save the lives of others but not himself as he died in 2007 of a drug
overdose, aged 45.
