As we reported yesterday, in honor of former WWE player Shad Gaspard, who was shipwrecked for saving his son, WWE plans to introduce him to this year's WWE Hall of Fame and hold a memorial ceremony for the great father at Hall of Fame and Wrestling Mania 38.
Later yesterday, the well-known wrestling media "Wrestling Observer" confirmed that Shad Gaspard has confirmed that he will receive the Warrior Award from this year's WWE Hall of Fame!
WWE's official Twitter account at BT Sports immediately posted a photo of Shad Gaspard inducted into this year's Hall of Fame, with the caption: No one is more worthy of the Honor of the Warrior Award than Shad Gaspard!
In May 2020, Shad Gaspard and his son were hit by wind and waves while surfing in Venice, California. When the rescue team arrived, Shad Gaspard insisted that the rescue team rescue his son first. When his son was rescued, Shad Gaspard disappeared into the vast sea.
In the next few days, the U.S. Coast Guard immediately launched a search and rescue, and several former WWE players, including JTG, John Morrison, Chris Masters, etc., also participated in the rescue, but unfortunately nothing progressed in the end. It wasn't until a few days later that the body of Shad Gaspard was washed ashore...
To the chagrin of countless wrestlers, according to the rescue team, the last words of Shad Gaspard's life were: Save my son! Save my son first...
In fact, as early as last year, some people proposed to award the Warrior Award of the WWE Hall of Fame to Shad Gaspard, the great father, but WWE did not do so in the end, and it was also very controversial.
When Shad Gaspard played at WWE, he formed a "sin double" combination with another player, JTG, which impressed many wrestling fans. Not long ago, JTG also posted that Shad Gaspard should receive the Warrior Award for his heroic deeds, but unexpectedly, WWE really awarded this year's Warrior Award to Shad Gaspard.
Not only WWE, in honor of Shad Gaspard, the well-known wrestling media personality Dave Melzer also announced that WON will create the Shad Gaspard Awards in 2020 to commemorate those wrestling people who have made outstanding contributions to society in private.
What many wrestling fans don't know is that the motion capture of the protagonist Kratos in the now-explosive single-player game "God of War" was also completed by Shad Gaspard. Even according to the idea of the game manufacturer, Shad Gaspard will continue to work as a kratos motion capture for God of War 2, but unfortunately it backfired...
Shad Gaspard may not be a great wrestler, but he is undoubtedly a great father. His deeds will infect countless people and will be remembered by future generations. Congratulations to Shad Gaspard for being inducted into this year's WWE Hall of Fame as a Warrior Award winner who deserves the award!
