The Bigger they are...

[Savio]

– It was reported earlier today that former WWE star Shawn Michaels and his wife Rebecca have opened a Family Fun & Entertainment Center deep in the heart of Texas. According to the center’s official website, www.emerald-rainbow.com, the former WWE Champion is accepting bookings for birthday parties. For a mere $5,000, “The Heartbreak Kid” will visit your birthday party and take photos with guests, as well as sign autographs. Note – appearance is limited to 30 minutes and must be held at the Emerald Rainbow Family Fun Center. It is also subject to Michaels’ availability.
Really already HBK? I hasn't even been a year.

[Savio]

eh I just learned that he owns the center atleast.

[ron the dial]

yeah how dare he try to continue to cash in on his celebrity

[The Pope]

LOL

[Sixx]

This kinda reminds me of washed up 80s rock stars charging fans $1 for an autograph and $3 for a picture.

[The Pope]

My birthday's on Saturday, should I get HBK?

[Majunior]

You should totally get HBK. After all, it's only $5k. Pocket change my man.

[Lock Jaw]

He's gonna open an HBK-college to train regional HBKs to go to various kid's birthday parties.

[The Pope]

Okay, $5,000 is not that much man.

[Savio]

I could hire him for mine but I would be totally broke after.

[Swiss Ultimate]

...a lot of celebrities do this and things like it.

If you book him,tell him that he has to come into the center on a zip line WM12 style.

[Providence Peep]

So, does he need the money? Is he bored? Is it his ego? Anyway, maybe I'll get him for MY birthday.

[James Steele]

It is a way to attract business to his business. People are more likely to go to a brand new family fun center if a celebrity is there then just the same old shit the others have.

[Gertner]

He's not that old. I'm sure sitting around the house all day can only be so much fun. Especially for a performer.

[Shaggy]

What I love is the fact that its $5000 on top of the normal charge you are paying for the party...screw that

[Droford]

How long til HHH shows up at the Family Fun Center to get him to come back to reform DX?

[Savio]

5000$ for HHH to pedigree you

[Gertner]

The big question will be "will HBK smile at your birthday, or is he still looking for it?"

Looks like HBK is taking a page out of Virgil's technique of doing requests.

[rated rjo]

Let HBK shell himself out. He's earned it. Better this than tarnish his WWE legacy by breaking his commitment to stay retired.

[Shadrick]

This isn't him shelling himself out. Celebrities charge for appearances all the time, this is cheaper than it should be and its charitable.

SMH @ the people who don't understand this concept lol

[Aguakate]

Wow, I mean, not only do you have to pay to have your party at the center owned by HBK, but you actually have to pay so that HBK makes an appearance at your activity.

If it's HIS CENTER, couldn't he just be there to meet the people?

NO.

You gotta pay him $5,000.

[Waylander]

What's wrong with HBK making some money?

[James Steele]

At the risk of sounding like Kane Knight, many wrestling fans have entitlement issues.

[Ermaximus]

He's gonna open an HBK-college to train regional HBKs to go to various kid's birthday parties.

Count on Danielson and Kendrick to each be one of them.

[YoungFlyFlashy]

Amazing at how clueless wrestling fans are when it comes to celebrity status. Are you guys not aware that celebrities RARELY do anything for free? Actors, athletes, musicians, etc. etc. why would a wrestler be any different? Seriously.

I mean you guys are aware that John Cena makes $2,500 per tweet on Twitter? That's just an inch of what it truly means to have celebrity status.

[Cad Bane]

I would only pay that if he agreed to get on a stage and sing his theme song.

[crusnik]

It's good to see HBK doing something , and something positive at that and not go back on his word n wrestle when he said he will retire.On the 5 grand.... well that's a bit too much thou if he were to appear he should get a little something but let's face it the average fan or person does not have 5 g's to let go like that.

[FourFifty]

Really? "The bigger they are the harder they fall" thing?
Does anyone know of any wrestler that didn't work any job, or not do any fan fests after they retired? Let the dude make a living doing something outside the ring.

Randy Savage. He just disappeared.

[Savio]

Randy Savage went on to have a successful rap career.

It's not HBK charging money for an appearance that I find to be a little wrong...it's the fact that he charges money to appear at an activity done at HIS OWN PARTY PLACE...for which YOU ALREADY PAID in order to use it for your party...

For a mere $5,000, “The Heartbreak Kid” will visit your birthday party and take photos with guests, as well as sign autographs. Note – appearance is limited to 30 minutes and must be held at the Emerald Rainbow Family Fun Center. It is also subject to Michaels’ availability.

He is going to actually spend time at your event at his center and take photos along with signing autographs. Usually, the owner of the place will just stop and say hello and make sure everything is going alright.

[Aguakate]

^^^
This is exactly what I mean.

[Cad Bane]

For $25 and a bottle of Jack - Marty Janetty will also appear and we can have another Rockers reunion!

[James Steele]

It isn't his job as owner of the place to do a fucking appearance just because he is famous. It would be a bit more implied if they called it SHAWN MICHAELS' FAMILY FUN CENTER AND SWEET CHIN MUSIC KARAOKE BAR.

For 5 grand id expect a "massage" with a happy ending from his missus.
