Connor “The Crusher” To Receive First-Ever Warrior Award At WWE Hall Of Fame
Connor “The Crusher” Michalek, a Pittsburgh native and passionate WWE fan who passed away last year from cancer, will be the first-ever recipient of the Warrior Award, which will be presented each year at the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The Warrior Award will be given to someone who has exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who lives life with courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of WWE Hall of Famer, The Ultimate Warrior. This year, the award will be presented by The Ultimate Warrior’s widow, Dana Warrior and WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan to Steve Michalek, Connor’s father.
Stephanie McMahon and “Triple H” Paul Levesque launched “Connor’s Cure,” a fund dedicated to further Pediatric cancer research. Donations can be made by visiting www.givetochildrens.org/CONNORSCURE.

Intercontinental Hot Potato
The first sighting of the Intercontinental Championship on the March 2nd RAW was of Dean Ambrose carrying it. While Wade Barrett is indeed the champion, Ambrose was physically holding it after he had stolen it from Barrett. While the two contested in a non-title match, R-Truth stole the title as he was ringside for commentary. Luke Harper then took it after Truth gave it to him to prevent getting hit with a steel folding chair. Harper then left with the belt as the distraction allowed Ambrose to perform Dirty Deeds on Barrett and win.
If I hadn’t seen wrestling in a couple weeks, I may wonder who really is the Intercontinental Champion having come in during the middle of the match. While it was announced that the title will be defended in a ladder match at WrestleMania 31 with Truth, Ambrose, and Harper in the mix as of press time, it is interesting to see will this “hot potato”-esque storyline will continue to Levi’s Stadium or will perhaps one wrestler a week hold the title. There can be a lot you can do with so many characters vying for a single title, but it is also easy to get lost in the shuffle. Here’s hoping the build up and the match will both be full of pure excitement.

#GiveDivasAChance In the Hall of Fame
On the March 2nd edition of Monday Night RAW, it was announced that Alundra Blayze/Madusa was going into the Hall of Fame for the 2015 class. With three WWF Women’s Championship title reigns in the mid 90’s (1993-95), Blayze was instrumental in reviving the women’s division after her feuds with the likes of Bertha Faye and Bull Nakano. She was the first woman to win Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Rookie of the Year in 1988 and even became the WCW Cruiserweight Champion in 1999, being the first woman to accomplish that feat.
It is interesting that her induction is announced the first Monday after the #GiveDivasAChance movement took the Internet by storm. Was this just a coincidence or was it a strategic way to time when this announcement was made on WWE’s part to help push the women of professional wrestling in as positive of a spotlight as possible. Regardless, it is wonderful to see Blayze become a member of the WWE Hall of Fame with the likes of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Bushwhakers, and Rikishi.
