Create-A-Pro Wrestling hosted a special fundraiser Saturday night for the Make-A-Wish Foundation at Nassau Community College.
Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Christian was there to meet fans.
Referee Andre Giannico received a wish when he was a kid, and helped put together tonight's show.
"That wish jumpstarted my life," Giannico says. "It gave me vision to what was out there. It wasn't always hospitals and doctors and nurses. If I can do that for another child, it'd be amazing."
"It's gratifying and satisfying just to see smiles. That's what it's all about," says Christian.
