8 Things We Learned From Shawn Michaels On Talk Is Jericho Part 1
8. Life On The Ranch
The Shawn Michaels who entertained fans for years inside WWE rings is a very different person from the real life Michael Hickenbottom. Whereas HBK fashioned himself a flamboyant "sexy boy", the man behind that character is a country boy through and through. The interview was recorded from Shawn's house, a 500-acre ranch that Jericho deems "in the middle of nowhere" questioning if he even has neighbors. The two get into some talk about how, after being in the public eye for his entire career Michaels wanted to escape into the country and live a much simpler lifestyle. The ranch has plenty of wildlife on it, and Shawn and his family hunt frequently, making sure to maintain the proper balance of population, and he mentions that he'd like to get into running cattle. HBK jokes that Triple H and Stephanie say that in the event of a societal collapse such as a zombie apocalypse the first thing they're going to do is head to his house, and it's even gotten Hunter to look into getting an additional home that's more self-sustainable. If nature, hunting and farming aren't your thing you'll probably want to skip this segment entirely.
