Did you happen to catch sight of Aaron Rodgers accepting the Super Bowl MVP trophy with the WWE Championship belt draped over his right shoulder?
Turns out a young intern for WSCR-AM 670 supplied the perfect prop for the Green Bay quarterback.
"This was the first-ever Super Bowl that I have ever been to in my life ... a 24-hour drive to watch my team win ... and the belt I wanted to give to Aaron, he got. I was absolutely thrilled," Mike Dubajic said Monday as he was driving from Dallas to Chicago.Dubajic said he bought the belt off an online wrestling site some time ago.
"When I found I was going to the Super Bowl, I said, 'You know what, I'm going to bring this belt with me. I am going to give it a shot and see if I can give it to him.'"
Sure enough, after being rebuffed by hotel security where the Packers were staying in Dallas, Dubajic talked a Packers security guard near the team bus into promising to get the belt to Rodgers.
"Lo, and behold, I saw the belt on TV (Sunday night) and I knew it was mine because it had a missing gem. You can see in the picture that the gem is gone," he said.
Dubajic grew up in Chicago but has been a Packers fan since he was 8.
"When I first started interning at the Score, I was very nervous that I should tell them that, and how they would react," Dubajic said. "But I slowly but surely told them about it and they are pretty fair with me."
