Shawn Michaels signs new 5 year contract
Quote:
Shawn Michaels has signed a new 5 year deal with WWE, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The contract guarantees him a whopping $1.5 million per year.

Many within WWE were said to be "shocked" at how high of a contract was given to Michaels, especially with WWE offering most talent lower money contracts these days. Michaels himself was expecting a lower money contract, and even he was said to be shocked at how large the contract offered to him was.

Over the past few months, Michaels was contemplating working a lighter schedule and lessening his role in the company. However, when he received this new contract and signed it, he changed his mind on that.
Interesting.


I guess I told him! Nobody messes with Adam We!

I dont know. I have never been a fan of Shawn Michaels personally but he has probally been one of the best performed wrestlers in the last two years.

Angle is killing himself everytime he gets into the ring. He deserves a huge contract.

He really deserves it. With the recent DX angle and even before that he has held his own ever since he's been back. Hell if I was given that contract I'd take it too!
He mine as well wrestling while his kids are still relatively young. I honestly think after this 5 years he'll be done.

The new DX is pretty terrible, but whatever, good for him. How old will he be in five years?

Also, remember when Bret Hart was gonna sign a 20 year contract or something? That didn't quite work out.

Michaels is one of the only WWE legends who can still cut-it in-ring. Him being a cock aside, he's probably the best performer on Raw, and more than makes the show.

He did sign the 20 year contract. Vince breeched it by not paying him according to the terms of the contract.

Then he went to wcw and got paid 3 mill per year.

Okay, Michaels willingly went into a contract where Hogan had creative control, hoping to out-politic him. Don't blame Vince or anyone else that Shawn Michaels opted into a contract with Hogan and got fucked. When you dance with the Devil, expect to get burned.

Michaels screwed Michaels. By way of being stupid enough to think that he could beat Hogan backstage.

Mark Henry isn't on $1m a year, and never has been, addy.

As for HBK... GUARANTEED $1.5m a year?? Cue another injury and a long sitout, much like back in 1998. HBK only (miraculously) returned to action when his last contract was due to expire, having raked in his rather considerable downside for the 4 years he was out of action. He's smart if nothing else.

Personally, I agree he's one of the highlights of WWE, but for another FIVE years? He came out of retirement in 2002 talking about "one more match". He started bleating on about a "reduced schedule" over a year ago. I think the WWE has made a mistake. A 2 year contract? Yes, I'd say go for it. A five year contract, but with a lower downside should he stop wrestling? Also agreeable. This will end up costing WWE a ton of money with no return on their investment, you wait and see!

Henry signed a water tight 10 year contract in 1996 for $1 million a year.

No, that's a common misconception. Henry earned around £250K per year on a downside throughout that 10 years.

I'd almost guarantee that the extention he signed earlier this year was for a lot lower than that, too.

It was refered to as a Million Dollar contract, people then ran with a rumour that it was 1mil/year.

I'm sorry, if anyone is guilty of the "Same old Shit", it's Michaels. He has done the same shit every single match for the last 2 years, the only thing seperating any of them is that he throws in a different high spot in every PPV match. Flying forearm, nip up, punches, body slam, elbow from the top, SCM. Really, didn't see that one comming.

I respect Michaels and he does seem to carry every one he wrestles with to a decent match. But getting your ass beat for 15 minutes then doing the aforementioned move list isn't exactly worth 1.5 mil in my book.

Sadly enough, even though I feel that way about the current Michaels, he is the best performer on RAW right now, but that's really not saying much when you think about it.

Shawn is awesome...and I was abret fan so it was hard to win me over.

Seriously, look back at Shawn's matches over the past few years:
2005 - MOTY; VS Kurt Angle - WM21
2004 - MOTY; VS Chris Benoit and Triple H - WM20
2003 - 2nd best MOTY; VS Chris Jericho - WM19
2002 - MOTY; VS Triple H - Summerslam (i think, or suvivor series)

Plus, in that time, he's had tremendous feuds with:
Chris Jericho
Kurt Angle
Triple H
Edge

And good feuds with:
Hulk Hogan
Kane
Randy Orton
Vince McMahon.


The only thing he deserves now is another title run!

Well, at least HBK had decided to keep up with the regular schedule now that he's got a big contract. If he was Hogan, he'd prolly take the money and leave.

Wow. He finishes hsi matches in a predictable fashion. That negates everything else in the match.

No. HBK does not need another title run. He's above the title. Winning the title does nothing for Micheals at this point. If he did win the big one again, he should be a transitional champion. 4 month reign at best, ending with him cleanly putting over the next big star.
