Who was Connor Michalek?
Connor Michalek (2005-2014) was a huge WWE fan, especially of wrestler Daniel Bryan. Social media helped him meet Bryan and other wrestlers because Connor has had cancer since he was very little (3 years old). He fought the disease bravely, but sadly passed away at the age of 8. To honour him, WWE started a charity called Connor's Cure to help fight cancer and even gave him a special award.
