WWE Releases Emotional Tribute Video to Young Fan ‘Connor the Crusher’

Connor Michalek was a big WWE fan, particularly of wrestler Daniel Bryan. In 2012, a YouTube campaign went viral and Daniel got to meet his idol shortly before succumbing to cancer.

After meeting the superstars, Stephanie McMahon was told by Connor's father that Connor didn't have long to live and McMahon decided she wanted to do something special for him. The entire WWE staff rallied behind Bryan and McMahon to make Connor's dreams come true.

The entire video of Connor's story and time with the WWE shows just how much this sport is not merely entertainment, but something that gives hope and happiness to young and old alike.
