My 55 year old boss came into work saying his 92 yr old mom was calling him up pissed because RVD was getting beat up on one episode of RAW last yearNo one talking about how this kid loved RVD so much, and RVD renamed the belt the InterconnerTitle

Regardless of why it was done, it was a good thing they did for a dying boy and they've set up something that will keep doing good in the future.
Why are we acting surprised that there was a PR reason behind of all this? Tons of corporations take personal stories and charity they've done and turn it into a media blitz and make it about them. They didn't do anything that any other company hasn't done and weren't up to anything self-motivated that I wasn't already aware of.
I can understand getting upset over having to do the announcement about Connor at every show, but it's not like it was done out of spite or to fukk with him (maybe they thought he'd be honored and happy to do it). It was done for the crowd.
I hate what the smarks did to Batista during his last run. fukk the Yes movement.DC Dave doing what's right
WWE issued the following statement in response to former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts' blog questioning the sincerity of WWE when it comes to Connor "The Crusher" Michalek:
“It is offensive to suggest that WWE and its executives had anything but altruistic intentions in honoring Connor and his legacy with The Warrior Award. In conjunction with Connor's father, Connor's Cure was established by Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer, and to honor a boy that so many people within the WWE family came to love. The fund is managed by the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation and has already raised more than $200,000 for pediatric cancer research.
In addition, following the Ultimate Warrior's impassioned Hall of Fame speech last year encouraging WWE to recognize its unsung heroes, the Warrior Award was established in his memory to honor those who exhibit unwavering strength and perseverance, and who live life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of the Ultimate Warrior. With the full support and input of Ultimate Warrior's widow, Dana Warrior, Connor Michalek was the first recipient of the Warrior Award, and moving forward the award will be given annually to acknowledge other unsung heroes among WWE's employees and fans.
WWE is proud to use our global platforms to raise awareness for important social causes, including Connor's Cure as well as our longstanding partnership with Make A Wish, our on-going partnership with Susan G. Komen, which has resulted in more than $1.5 million in funds raised, and our international partnership with Special Olympics.”

The Game took a picture of a family he gave $100 to (and they posed with said $100) and he posted it on Instagram. Why would you do that?
Can we not be charitable in silence?
