This is a beautiful story and it hits the mark.

TNA Wrestling had two very special guests at the IMPACT ZONE earlier this month. In late 2012, TNA President Dixie Carter was watching a newscast in Nashville that featured a story on two local middle school wrestlers. The story touched Carter so much that she reached out to the families to express how impressed she was by the character of these boys. Carter invited them to visit the IMPACT ZONE and meet the TNA IMPACT WRESTLING Superstars.
Jared Stevens, born with cerebral palsy, is a huge wrestling fan and became a part of his middle school’s squad where he was able to participate in a match with their cross-town rivals. Justin Kievit met Stevens on the mat during a match late last year, resulting in Stevens pinning Kievit. The act of sportsmanship went viral online within hours.
TNA would like to congratulate the boys and their families on their inspirational story. Watch the video and their story below! If you can't see the video please
I posted this last week and nobody replies. It kind of proves my point about the story of the kid with cancer meeting Daniel Bryan which got a lot of praise for the wrong reasons. BTW did anyone follow up to see if that kid that met Daniel Bryan was still alive? Yeah, I thought so.
TNA really displays a lot of character at times... "Character" seems to be the word to use here. People can knock John Cena all day long but the fact that he's visited over a hundred Make-A-Wish kids shows that he has character and is very respectable. The same goes for every single other wrestler, athlete, or entertainer that do these events. I love reading these stories, and it makes me love TNA that much more.
