WWE Superstars Unite for Dying Little Boy (VIDEO)
WWE Superstars came together before Wrestlemania XXX to make the wish of a dying child come true. New video of that footage has been released, with the superstars paying homage to the little boy who touched their hearts before he passed away.
Connor "The Crusher" Michalek idolized WWE superstar Daniel Bryan and had the opportunity to meet him 2012. Bryan made an effort to reach out to the boy, and the two bonded and kept in touch while Michalek battled brain cancer. Then, just before Wrestlemania XXX, the WWE brought Michalek and his father to the arena for a very special day.
Michalek was able to meet Superstars AJ Lee, owner Stephanie McMahon, and battle Triple H in the ring.

"Daniel got out of the ring on our side," Steve Michalek told Fox News. "The very first person Daniel went up to was Connor. He leaned over and said, 'Connor you mean a lot to me. You give me a lot of strength. You helped me earn this. Please keep on fighting.' Connor was elated. It was a perfect moment. I truly believe the whole experience extended Connor's time with me. There's no greater gift that I could get … and no way I could repay them for that."
