Eric LeGrand Never Thought He’d Get a WrestleMania Moment

– 2017 Warrior Award Eric LeGrand recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about getting the news that he was receiving the Warrior Award. Here is what he had to say…

On Getting The News: “There was a lot of anticipation. I got an email from Triple H’s assistant, and it seemed like we picked a time for the call that was the furthest distance away. I kept asking myself, ‘What does Triple H want to say to me?’ Then I started thinking, ‘Did I do anything wrong?’ Hearing the news was amazing.”

On Getting a WrestleMania Moment: “I never thought this would ever happen to me. You watch these superstars on TV as a kid, and they’re larger-than-life superstars who you try to emulate as a kid. Growing up, I knew I wasn’t going to be a wrestler. I never thought I’d have a ‘WrestleMania Moment’, but now, I can’t get my head around what it will be like to go on stage that night at the Hall of Fame.”
