A scary scene at a Florida beach had a happy ending thanks to a former WWE star.

Al Snow, who gained fame in the 1990s for his bizarre gimmicks and tag team success as a pro wrestler, told TMZ that he saved the life of a young boy who was being pulled out to sea by a riptide in Destin, Florida.

Snow, whose real name is Allen Sarven, said he was out in the water with a friend when he heard people yelling around the beach. He soon saw a young boy struggling to swim back to his float in rough water, with a riptide appearing to pull him away from the beach.
