Which Ex-WWE Star Discovered Sheamus?, HBK To Ride Horses

— WWE issued the following press release yesterday: Shawn Michaels will be a special guest and celebrity rider at the Fourth Annual 4R Performance Horses Celebrity Slide at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City on Dec. 3. The event is held by the Reining Horse Sports Foundation in conjunction with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The event started in 2007 when the RHSF hosted the 4R Performance Horses Eight Second Celebrity Slide. Nine professional bull riders stepped up to participate in the inaugural event. In 2008, the Eight Second Celebrity Slide became the 4R Performance Horses Celebrity Slide. Four years later, Make-A-Wish kids will once again team up with celebrity riders, such as HBK, and NRHA Professionals for a reining competition as they add to the more than $42,000 that has already been raised to help grant wishes. Tickets are available at Tickets.com. Tickets cost $7 for regular admission, $12 for box seating. Tickets to the VIP reception after the event are $100 and can be purchased by calling (405) 946-7400 or e-mail rhsf@nrha.com.

— Former WWE star James “Jimmy Wang Yang” Yun was on Right After Wrestling, which you can check out at http://radio.thescore.com/ Here is an excerpt from his appearance… “I’m the one who got Sheamus his job. I picked him out in Milan, Italy and said ‘I’m gonna test this guy out’ and look at him now, he’s done great. I saw the workouts earlier and they told me that I could work with anyone I wanted. It came down to him and another German guy. I went to both guys and I asked ‘who does Italy hate the most, Germans or Irishmen?’ They both told me Irishmen so I ended up picking Sheamus to work that night. The rest is history.”
