font-size: 12pt;\">Let those words soak in for a moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>With a tree.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Not a stick, or a substantially large piece of wood that happened to be lying in the ground.\u00a0 Chris Masters picked up\u00a0<strong>an entire tree<\/strong>, and smashed through the window in which he rescued his mother from.\u00a0 And this wasn\u2019t just some fallen tree that happened to be conveniently located,\u00a0<strong>Chris Masters uprooted a ten-foot tree from the ground with his bare hands and used it as a battering ram.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I wish I were making this up, but it really happened.\u00a0 Chris Masters\u2019 character in the WWE was that of a strongman who was a mountain of muscles, and used a full nelson to incapacitate opponents.\u00a0 And because he was so big and muscular, an elementary move like a full nelson had crippling repercussions to those he applied it on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Needless to say, it\u2019s safe to assume that Masters is probably at like a five on the Marvel Comics trading card strength gauge of seven, with two being of average human strength.\u00a0 Five is like Venom, or Rogue territory.\u00a0 Not quite Colossus or Thor territory, but still way the fuck higher than the average human being.\u00a0 For Christ\u2019s sake, Chris Masters\u00a0<strong>ripped an entire tree out of the ground<\/strong>, just to smash through a pane of glass to rescue his mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>A pane of glass<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Do you know what else breaks through a pane of glass other than ten-foot trees?\u00a0 Rocks the size of a racquetball.\u00a0 A fist with a t-shirt wrapped around it.\u00a0 Most articles of unworn footwear, if struck correctly and with enough velocity.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Segments<\/em>\u00a0of trees, including thick branches, or even a rigid stick, but not the entire tree itself.\u00a0 The fact that Chris Masters\u2019s brain fired up and thought only the entire tree was going to get the job done is absolutely insane.\u00a0 Almost as insane as the fact that once decided, he actually succeeded in pulling the entire fucking thing out of the ground, and jabbing it through the window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019ve been telling myself this story all day long, and it doesn\u2019t get any less incredible every time.\u00a0 Adrenaline certainly can lead to some extraordinary performances, but I\u2019m pretty sure that Michael Jordan with the flu couldn\u2019t rip trees out of the ground, let alone use it as a battering ram, and I\u2019m pretty sure I couldn\u2019t get 235 lbs. up on the bench no matter how much adrenaline was coursing through my veins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I just wish I could have seen something like this happen in real life.\u00a0 Apparently, Chris Masters was so frightened and exasperated by the lack of immediate action from the police that showed up to the scene of the incident, that it was at this time that he decided to take matters into his own hands.\u00a0 And ripped a tree out of the ground with his bare hands to use, over all other conventional things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m extremely happy to know that Chris Masters successfully rescued his mother, and that she\u2019s safe.\u00a0 That\u2019s wonderful news.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the circumstances behind it all are just so extraordinary, so unbelievable, that I keep talking about it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just amazing that a human being had the strength to pull off such an incredible feat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Now if only there was a way for Masters to parlay this back into a WWE career, it would be so much money.\u00a0 I can already picture the promos for his return, where he does old-fashioned vignettes, where he could be holding trees in a full nelson position, and as he explains the impending return of the Master Lock challenge, he applies the pressure, and snaps entire trees like twigs.\u00a0 And then when he gets back into the ring, he can win matches by doing more ridiculously incredible feats of strength, like picking up the entire Spanish announcers\u2019 table, and ramming opponents with it as a finisher.\u00a0 Or ripping the guard rail off the wall and ramming it into his opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Regardless of it all, it\u2019s a good day for Chris Masters.\u00a0 He rescued his mother from the jaws of death which is the most important thing of all.\u00a0 But he did it in such a fashion that makes him look like a legitimate superhero, and he did it right in the faces of all the police and firemen that didn\u2019t help out.\u00a0 His name is way back in the public eye, which should be a great boost to his career, if he were remotely interested in getting back into professional wrestling.\u00a0 But most definitely, if he\u2019s not married, he\u2019s probably got a line of women waiting to get a piece of the \u2018ol Masterpiece, so they can say they boned a real-life superhero with super strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Man, it\u2019s gotta be great being Chris Masters now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything about\u00a0this story\u00a0is pretty incredible.\u00a0 Long story short, former WWE wrestler\u00a0Chris Masters, rescued his mother from her burning home, set ablaze by a crazy neighbor.\u00a0 He accomplished this act of heroism by retrieving his mother through a window that he bashed through with a tree.
