In a shocking revelation, WWE Hall of Famer Michelle McCool shared a harrowing experience she had with fellow wrestling legend Mark Henry. The two were stuck in an elevator for nearly 90 minutes, and it was Henry’s quick thinking that saved the day.
McCool, who is no longer an active member of the WWE roster, took to her Instagram stories to recount the terrifying incident.
She detailed how she and Henry were trapped in an elevator in Hawaii, with no clear way out. But Henry, known as the World’s Strongest Man, wasted no time in taking matters into his own hands.
According to McCool, Henry used his incredible strength to tear the elevator doors open with his bare hands. But that was only half the battle – the real challenge lay in finding a way to breathe while they waited for help to arrive.
It was then that Henry came up with an ingenious solution, using his wallet to create a gap in the doors and allowing fresh air to flow in.
McCool was effusive in her praise for Henry’s quick thinking and bravery, saying that if she had to get stuck in an elevator with anyone, she was glad it was him. Her Instagram post read,
“The time @themarkhenry and I got stuck in an elevator in Hawaii for nearly 90 minutes. Real talk….if you’re gonna get stuck, hope it’s with a worlds strongest man who can open the doors and put his wallet in it to get us some air!!!”
This incident serves as a testament to Henry’s impressive physical strength and mental agility under pressure. The former WWE star has made a name for himself outside of the ring, appearing on various podcasts and even finding a new home in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
In other news, Mark Henry’s son Jacob is set to follow in his father’s footsteps, training with former WWE star Fred Rosser (aka Darren Young) in Japan this summer.
The young aspiring wrestler has already mapped out his career path, aiming to play professional sports for five or six years before retiring early to pursue a career in wrestling.
This heartwarming story serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and respect that exists among wrestling legends, even outside of the ring. Michelle McCool’s harrowing experience with Mark Henry is a testament to the power of quick thinking and bravery in the face of adversity.
