8-Year Old Superfan Who Died From Cancer Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame
8-year old wrestling fan Connor Michalek, who died from cancer last year, received the award named after wrestling legend Ultimate Warrior at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony Saturday.

The late Connor "The Crusher" Michalek became the first-ever recipient of "The Warrior Award" and the very first fan to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
Connor died last year after battling pediatric brain cancer.

The award is named after the late Ultimate Warrior, who died in 2014, just days after he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Ultimate Warrior is an icon in our business," Stephanie McMahon, chief brand officer of WWE, told BuzzFeed News. "Warrior's beliefs were to always believe in yourself and that's why Connor Michalek is absolutely the correct person to receive this award."
Connor will always be my best friend, and my hero," Michalek said during the ceremony. "Connor 'The Crusher' will now be a hero to all kids fighting against this terrible disease."

“On behalf of my family, we are truly humbled and honored that WWE will present an award in my husband’s name each year at the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony,” Dana Warrior said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “Connor displayed all of the positive traits that Warrior stood for, and he is the perfect recipient for this inaugural award. I am sure that Warrior is smiling today, knowing that this award is being given to a true warrior.”

Last year, Connor was in the front row with his father at WrestleMania XXX when Daniel Bryan finally became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
After Connor's death in spring of last year, WWE started Connor's Cure, a fund through the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh that is dedicated to pediatric cancer research.
