Rodgers Can Thank The Score Intern For WWE Belt

DALLAS (CBS) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has an intern with The Score-670 AM radio to thank for the pro-wrestling belt that was hanging over his shoulder as he was named Super Bowl MVP.

The intern, Mike Dubajic, has been working squarely in Bears territory, but he's quick to point out: "I am a Green Bay Packers fan in and out. I've been a Packers fan since I was 8 years old."

Dubajic bought the WWE championship wrestling belt, which is missing a gem, on WWE.com, in what he calls the best $375 he ever spent in his life. Last week, while in Dallas for the Super Bowl, he made sure the belt found its way into Rodgers' hands.

"On Friday I went to the team hotel, and access to get into the hotel was very, very difficult as you'd probably imagine," he said. "But one of the Packers security guys saw the belt, came over and grabbed it from me; swore to me over and over again that he would give it to Aaron, and he kept his promise."

And when a WWE belt appeared on Rodgers' shoulder has he accepted the MVP award, there was no doubt that it was the Dubajic's. The belt is easily identifiable by its missing red diamond gem.

"The belt Aaron Rodgers had, definitely came from me," Dubajic said.

So how does Dubajic feel about the fact that he will never see the belt again now?

"I don't need to see it again," he told The Score's Mully and Hanley show. "I love that the champ's got it and I'm satisfied."
