Wrestling with coach

A few years ago,I had a run of bumping into semi-famous athletes at airports. The “hightlight” was John Rocker.

At the gate for today’s flight to Atlanta, I suspected that the cowboy-hatted, muscular, tattooed man standing beside me was “somebody.” When he took his hat off, I realized he was WWE rassler Shawn Michaels.

You’ll be pleased to know that a man who has taken so much physical damage in his career gets to fly first class.

Update: Plenty of guys on the flight recognized him, but we were all afraid to go up to him and ask for a pic. He was a few rows ahead of me, so we ended up on the escalator down to the airport monorail a few steps apart.
