Last month, 8-year old Connor Michalek died of brain cancer, but not before he got to live his dream of hanging out with some of the WWE’s best wrestlers. A super fan, Connor was affectionately nicknamed “Stone Crusher” by family and friends.

Reflecting on Connor’s experiences with Wrestle Mania, his father says…
The best part…for me was that it was the first time in I’d say four years where I actually forgot that Connor was sick. He was very energetic. He moved a lot. He didn’t need help as much as he normally needed help…it was like having my little boy back.
