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.

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.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
