Here’s your Fight Size wrestling Update for the morning of April 8th, 2018.
– WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels cutting his infamous ponytail sent the internet on a frenzy. It appears that Michaels was not expecting anyone to know about his cut as quick as they did. While speaking with WWE.com at the WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony on Friday night “The Heartbreak Kid” shared that he thought his barber was simply taking a “before and after” picture and was not expecting to see his face plastered all over social media.
“I thought he was taking a before-and-after picture because he wanted it professionally, and the dude went and tweeted it out,” Michaels said. “I was home eating dinner and just decided to get on Twitter, and it was blowing up. I was like ‘Oh snap, the dude went ahead and … oh.’ I felt so violated, you know what I mean? Dude, for five minutes of fame, you cost yourself … I gave him a 30-percent tip that day, and I’ve done that every other month for a gazillion years,” he said, “Short-term gain, you gotta go with the long-game brother. That’s the key: Always go with the long game.”
