Clicks n' Kicks: This week on WWE Superstars' Instagram Accounts (June 25 - July 1)

It was an emotionally charged week for the Superstars of WWE!

#6 Remembering Connor

Connor impacted everyone he met

Connor “The Crusher” Michalek was a little boy with a huge spirit and an even bigger heart. In 2012, Connor submitted a YouTube video where he expressed his desire to meet his hero, who happened to be Daniel Bryan. Almost immediately, the video went viral and a movement was underway to get the attention of WWE officials, so Connor could meet Bryan.

As we all now know, Connor not only got to meet Bryan, but he sat ringside at Wrestlemania 30, where he rooted for his hero to victory and ultimately, a WWE Championship win.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Sadly, Connor’s condition worsened and in April of 2014, 8-year-old Connor passed away as a result of his battle with brain cancer. Stephanie McMahon and other WWE officials kicked off Connors Cure, to help bring awareness and resources to the condition that Connor struggled with.

As shown here by Dana Warrior, many of these Connors Cure bracelets have been sold, with proceeds going directly to the charity.
