Mr Perfect saved his friend's life with his quick thinking

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.
