10 Outrageous WrestleMania Moments That Made Mainstream News

8. Connor "The Crusher" Michalek

The story of Connor Michalek is one of the most inspirational and heart-breaking tales that the wrestling industry has seen. It was in the build-up to last year€™s Wrestlemania 30 that most wrestling fans became aware of Connor and his battle with cancer, but this was a story that had already garnered mainstream attention and stirred emotion in the coldest of hearts. Now awarded the Warrior Award and a place in the Hall of Fame, the memory of Connor €œThe Crusher€ will live on to inspire future generations. In recent years, fans have almost become desensitised to the fantastic charity work that the WWE does, particularly with the Make a Wish programme, because it€™s so commonplace these days. Despite this, Connor stood out as a truly special little boy who left a lasting impression on any who has seen his story, be they a wrestling fan or not.
