The WLKY Spirit of Louisville Foundation will present the 2025 WLKY Bell Awards on 10/9 in Louisville, Kentucky. The awards are presented annually to honor the humanitarian efforts of local volunteers.
Among those being honored this year is former WWE and ECW star Mike Bucci aka Nova and Simon Dean over the course of his career in the ring.
In announcing Bucci being a recepient of the award, WLKY noted:
"Mike Bucci is a catalyst for inspiring others, often rallying co-workers, friends, and family to join him in amplifying the impact of his volunteer efforts. A devoted single father, he frequently serves alongside his teenage daughter, Olivia, instilling in her a shared commitment to giving back. Despite the demands of a full-time job, Mike dedicated an impressive 545 hours to 33 different organizations in 2024. He is a regular volunteer with Dare to Care, the Open Hand Kitchen, and Sandefur Dining Hall, and he shares his professional expertise by teaching financial education classes to help individuals better manage their resources. Mike also gives his time to Habitat for Humanity and New Directions, and he has been a long-time supporter of the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program, making the holidays brighter for families in need."
Bucci retired from the ring in 2022.
