Shawn Michaels proved that the best wrestling move is dropping the act to be a decent human being.
A pro wrestler left the ring mid-match to stop security from manhandling a boy with Down syndrome
During a 1997 WWF match, Shawn Michaels noticed security roughing up a boy with Down syndrome. He left the ring mid-bout, shoved guards aside, and escorted the boy to safety. The match resumed moments later, but the gesture has been celebrated ever since as a true display of compassion over performance.
