WWE Legend The Honky Tonk Man wrote the following on Facebook about his rate for indie appearances:
“HTM reply to an Indy promoter: HTM swore to HTM family starting 2015 till HTM is not HTM anymore. HTM would not go near the Phoenix airport for less than $1,000 per day. HTM will just cross the street everyday and play golf at Superstition Springs Country Club. (HTM told WWe when they called for Mania 1,500) per day.
You indy guys you get a break,, Call Jake Roberts! Thanks and pass the word, HTM is 1,000 per show.”
