Chapter 64: Extra Income.
"Damn! Kid, you did well. I almost thought you were one of my superstars," Mr. McMahon said with his notably deep and resonant voice to Lukas, who was currently seated backstage.
" I am a huge fan, sir, of your work," Lukas said, then grabbed a bottle of water from the nearby person who was distributing it.
" Well, thank you for your promo, here is what I promised your chairman." Vince then pulled out his checkbook and wrote a check and gave it to Lukas.
Lukas took the check and saw it was a $30,000 check, and it was also a bearer check, so Lukas was happy to see unexpected rewards.
" This thing cost me 2 million dollars, so you better work hard as a heel." Vince then patted on Triple H’s shoulders.
[Clarification for those who don’t know about WWE: a heel is basically a villain, and a babyface/face is a good guy in the wrestling world.]
Vince was a huge businessman when he saw the viewership getting almost 9 million, he went for this directly, bought the Louisville Slugger ad slots, and also overpaid the marketing team to do the stunt.
Triple H nodded his head. Although Vince was very stingy with his money, he has never failed to invest in a good opportunity in his business.
Lukas folded the check and put it in his pocket, then saw the chairman of the Phillies entering the room. He nodded at Lukas happily, then gestured for Vince to go to the side because he wanted to talk with him.
