The last fact can be attested to by the recent good deed he performed before Christmas – reports dialywrestlingnews.
According to The Athens Messenger, Michaels recently paid a visit to McArthur, Ohio to see Santa Claus this past weekend. The wrestler was in the village to shoot for his show on Outdoor Channel and got wind of Santa making an appearance at the local Christmas In Downtown event.
Michaels then promptly visited the area and besides meeting fans also gave a “very generous” donation to a youth group at the local church.
The 50-year-old commented on his gesture, saying: “Keith and I are kind of old-fashioned and traditional. We just happened to hear about it, went down to the church, made a donation, did some crafts with kids and made a night of it. It was a lot of fun. I guess I’m just guilty of being a big kid.”
In other news, Michaels’ former tag team partner Triple H may have gone part-time in the WWE ring and traded them for a smart, tailored suit long ago and is currently enjoying the perks of being an executive of the franchise, but that hasn’t stopped him from keeping fit, and the recent video he posted on Twitter is proof of his commitment to staying in shape.
