#6: Connor "The Crusher" Michalek

Connor shares a moment with Daniel Bryan

WWE is a company that often takes part in social and community outreach, and Connor Michalek is one of the most popular examples of it.

Diagnosed with cancer, Connor got to meet several WWE Superstars throughout his life, and moments such as him pinning Triple H have gone viral on the internet.

On June 2014, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon founded Connor's Cure in Michalek's memory, and he also became a posthumous WWE Hall of Famer in 2015.

In December 2012, Connor Michalek — then only 6 — was grappling with cancer of the brain and spine. Daniel Bryan instantly connected with Connor Michalek. They stayed in touch until Michalek’s death in April 2014. #ConnorsCure pic.twitter.com/xuvVFPrf0d

Connor didn't just leave an emotional impact on the Superstars who got to interact with him, but any modern-day WWE fan can easily recall the times when he was mentioned in WWE's TV programs.

A special episode of RAW aired on May 24, 1999, the night after Owen Hart's death. WWE performers were featured in shoot interviews and it was certainly an emotional night for fans and Superstars at the same time.

The show started with a ten-bell salute and later in the night, Mark Henry wept as he wrote a poem in tribute to Hart. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin also gave a toast to Owen and left a beer in the ring in Hart's memory.

Owen Hart's death is a tragedy that people think about even to this day, and that just goes on to show how it emotionally impacted a lot of WWE fans who grew up watching The Attitude Era.
