"Shawn Michaels inherited $2.5 million from a fan" - WOR from 96'

[fukkyalifestyle]

Anyone ever hear about this? On the subreddit squrared circle some guy types up old Wrestling Oberserver issues and I saw this today. Say what you want about reddit but this sub reddit is dope.

It has been reported in some media outlets recently that Shawn Michaels inherited $2.5 million from a wrestling fan that he didn't know that recently passed away. Turns out it's actually a true story. It happened a few months back but word just got out because Michaels has attempted to keep it quiet. Michaels plans to continue wrestling although he could obviously retire right now if he wanted to. When asked about it at the Wrestlemania press conference in Fresno, Shawn got angry and said "No comment" and told the reporter to never bring it up again (I still don't know what the story is on that. It's been years since I read Shawn's book but I think I have a vaaaaague recollection of him talking about it maybe? I think he's also still denied it in recent years so who knows).

Kliq working the marks into a shoot, water is wet

 

[Rell84shots]

And he spent it all on Vicodin

 

[Amor fati]

I wonder if he made any investments with that during that time period, or did he spend it like a drunk sailor?
