In 2019, I was booked in Japan. I still have never been. My wife was 9 months pregnant. I missed our son being born by 13 minutes prior to this. He was 6 weeks early and I was on my last scheduled "day job" trip of 2016. I drove over 100 MPH the entire way from Pittsburgh to the hospital and narrowly missed it.
When it became clear that my wife would be late this time and not early, ROH ate a Japanese plane ticket, allowed me to miss all scheduled date in February, flew Colt Cabana and had our executive producer drivr to my house to record commentary for TV tapings I missed, paid me for everything, maybe even slightly more than they were supposed to had I made every date.
I didn't even have to give them the full context. It was "What do you need and how can we make this work?" even giving me the option of skipping it all completely. Having Delirious and Colt in my home, tucking Zach in and also ready to go to the hospital with us with the baby bag is something I'll never forget.

Undertaker gave Steph McMahon a free ride in a limo. What a nice family, those Bearer kids Randy Savage gave her a free ride. No that's all. Allegedly.

It's been mentioned before, but the recent story of The Great O-Khan from NJPW saving a girl from an abusive drunk definitely bares repeating.

Chris Masters like pulled a tree out of the ground to save his mother from a burning house. (I'm sure it was like a decorative one or something and not like a full on oak tree... but that's totally what I imagine )

What's crazier, and I didn't know this until now, was that his mom's neighbor broke into her house and set it on fire.

Tony Khan did a lot in raising money and helping Cezar Bononi raise money for his wife and really sped up the process for her getting a liver transplant.
For years CZW would donate profits from Cage of Death to Toys for Tots

Giant Baba was well known for going out of his way to make foreign wrestlers as comfortable as possible in their travels when he booked them for All Japan.

Jon Moxley gave a lot of money to indie workers during the pandemic.

Insane Clown Posse are notorious for respecting the wrestlers of the business. One story I remember is Terry Funk refused to take pay from them for working their shows, but ICP wound up hiding it, I believe, in his kitchen fruit bowl before they left his house.

Yeah, he had them over for chilli. Which is funny enough an image. But they insisted on paying him for, making fun of him on one of their tapes. Terry figured they would have left $40 or so and figured that pays for the food and some beer money…they left four grand.

Kerry Von Erich stopped a purse snatcher outside of MSG.
For all his drug issues, Kerry was supposed to be a genuinely nice, generous person.

That’s ironic considering when they were in the business in the late 90s, a lot of people disliked them…including John “Earthquake” Tenta who wanted to legit beat them and Eric Boschoff in a steel cage match.

CM Punk bought Joey Mercury's house, no strings attached, when he was going to lose it and end up homeless. Mercury is practically in tears when he talks about this on the BitW dvd.

Here's something I just found out yesterday that I wouldn't expect, from Ultimate Warrior of all people. During his time in WWF in 1992, Kamala was hard up on cash to rent a vehicle, so he let him ride in his limo.
