Editing Chris Masters (section)

==Personal life==
He has stated that [[The Ultimate Warrior]] and [[Shawn Michaels]] were two of his favorite wrestlers while growing up.<ref name="Chris Masters Interview">{{cite web|url=http://sports.ign.com/articles/764/764413p1.html|title=Chris Masters Interview|publisher=IGN|access-date=2009-08-13|archive-date=2010-12-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101209031645/http://sports.ign.com/articles/764/764413p1.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> When asked what it was like wrestling Michaels, Mordetzky replied, "It was a dream come true. That's something I'll take with me to my grave. He was my childhood idol, I idolize the guy, and I still trip out that I got to wrestle him on a pay-per-view. How many people get to do that? How many people get to wrestle their idol?"<ref name="Chris Masters Interview"/>

Mordetzky claims that the biggest misconception that most people have about him is that he's just a bodybuilder.<ref name="Wrestling Weekly"/>

Though Masters never defeated [[John Cena]] in the ring, Masters defeated Cena in an arm-wrestling match. Masters put Cena out in the Master Lock hold on three separate non-match occasions. Masters is one of only two competitors (the other being [[Miro (wrestler)|Rusev]]) to bring John Cena to unconsciousness once, let alone three times as he did.<ref name="rf shoot">{{cite web|url=http://www.rfvideo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3530|title=Shoot with Chris Masters|access-date=2008-09-20|publisher=RF Video}}</ref>

In March 2013, Mordetzky saved his mother's life from a neighbor who held her hostage and committed [[arson]] at her home. It was reported that he had pulled a {{convert|10|foot|m}} tree from the ground with his bare hands and used it to open a path to his mother's windows, freeing her.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1575253-former-wwe-superstar-chris-masters-saves-mother-from-burning-house|title=Former WWE Superstar Chris Masters Saves Mother from Burning House|author=Hector Diaz|work=Bleacher Report}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-xpm-2013-mar-21-la-sp-sn-former-wwe-star-saves-mom-20130321-story.html | title=Former WWE star Chris Masters saves mom from burning house | website=[[Los Angeles Times]] | date=March 21, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.14news.com/story/21769942/former-wwe-wrestler-snaps-tree-to-save-mom-from-apartment-fire/?outputType=amp | title=Former WWE wrestler snaps tree to save mom from apartment fire | date=March 23, 2013 }}</ref>
