Watched the video, and I have zero shame in admitting I cried. If it helps in any way to find a cure or some way to lessen this f***ing disease's grip, then I say go with it.

I think my only objection to this is the young man has passed. This seems solely like a media ploy. It feels empty and hollow to me. If the kid was there, it's super cool of them to do, now it just seems like it's for their own attention and not really about the kid.

This is a cool idea and everything but I don't get why WWE is always showing videos about this kid. Don't they do work with a ton of make a wish kids? Not to sound like a dick but why is the focus on Connor imparticular?

Why is WWE so inconsistently awesome as a company? They do and have done some pretty shitty things over the years and then do something awesome like this. Even ignoring the PR reasons for inducting Connor (which really shouldn't matter by the way; every company does it), it's so weird how bipolar WWE is at times.

Though I was sort of against the HoF thread under the caveat that you're leaving out thousands of kids, I'm ok with this being an annual thing.

I got misty-eyed watching the video, I'll admit. Have zero issues admitting that.
However, the pessimist in me wonders if they were always going to do this tonight or if the bad press behind the Bill Demott situation made them get this out there as quickly as possible.

Likely always gonna do it tonight since they were in Pittsburgh, and that's where Connor was from. That way they could have his dad in the audience.

Anyone that's against this is a just a dick.
I was hammered drunk at a house show a few months back and when they played the video for Conner I was crying like a baby and donated via text to the charity.
Shit like this is only positive as it encourages people to donate to a great cause.

Yeah, I was there tonight, and once I realized where it was headed, yeah...it took me and my buddy every fiber of our being not to cry.
I see both sides, but whatever...put the kid in.

I got choked up when the crowd started chanting his name after the video package was over.

Connor shouldn't be inducted in the HOF but he at least did more than Drew Carey. He's receiving a special award that is given at the Hall of Fame. He's not being inducted into the Hall of Fame, though it's a fine line. He is being inducted. He's officially the 1st fan to be inducted. twitter.com/StephMcMahon/status/575087995201650688I personally see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its a HOF for a worked sport. It's clear how much this child meant to many in this company and if anyone is deserving of this honor, if only for remembrance's sake, its him.
