Triple H & Stephanie McMahon Remembers Connor Michalek

WWE COO Triple H & WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon recently visited The UPMC Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While there, they were interviewed by Wrestling Inc.’s Justin LaBar about Connor Michalek, who is the inspiration for Connor’s Cure (pediatric cancer research). While speaking with Wrestling Inc.’s Justin LaBar about Connor Michalek, Triple H would recall a story of him getting punched and pinned by Connor in the middle of the ring that for him was a very special moment. In the video below, you can check out the clip beginning at The 2:10 mark.
“He had such a personality, everybody he met fell in love with him,” Triple H recalled. “There’s a video online with all the WWE Superstars around the ring cheering for him and he punches me. None of that was planned, he had just met those people. As they saw him coming out to do that entrance, as a moment, they all just ran out and started cheering for him. That’s the impact he made on people and they just wanted to be around. Afterwards, he said, ‘I got ya,’ and I said ‘I know,’ and he said ‘No, no, no, I got you.”
