At WrestleMania 30, it wasn't just Daniel Bryan whose dream had come true when he beat Triple H and then defeated Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. That dream was also shared by eight-year-old Connor Michalek, a pediatric cancer patient who fought as hard as he could but died of pediatric brain cancer shortly after WrestleMania.
The video tribute to Connor "The Crusher" (his self-appointed wrestling name) that was released by WWE is one of the most touching and tear-inducing clips one might ever see. The video is a celebration of Connor's charm and wit as he interacts with Daniel Bryan and all of the wrestlers at various events backstage.
As you can see, Connor was a true wrestling fan who embodied the heart and soul of the WWE Universe, and it was just amazing to see how much he came to mean to everyone he interacted with, from Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee to Batista and Triple H ... and the list goes on.
What did John Cena Say about Bray Wyatt on WWE Main Event?
One of the most moving parts of the video is when Daniel Bryan won the title at WrestleMania 30 and walked over to Connor after the match. According to Connor's father, Daniel told Connor that "You mean a lot to me, you give me a lot of strength, you help me earn this, and please keep on fighting."
Connor's dad then said that he believes the entire experience with WWE help extended Connor's life, and that it meant the world to him to have that extra time.
Connor's passing obviously affected everyone so deeply, and you can see the emotion in Stephanie McMahon's eyes when she bids him her final farewell.
