► To win Wheel of Fortune to be a lawyer
Khan tells In his recent visit to What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon:
“I knew that to study for the advice exam and approve it, I could not work full time, study and approve. I had to take two months off just to study. I had to approve it in the first attempt. I did not have the economic means to present a second time, or to wait to be a lawyer as many others do.
I sent a letter to Wheel of Fortune. It was in the late 90s, the early 2000s. I receive a letter by mail that said: 'Come to an audition' ». The WWE manager recounts the audition process in Sony's studies in Los Angeles, where was one of a thousand applicantsthe vast majority people much older than him and who had difficulties with the game.
It was finally selected to participate in the show: “I won $ 16,500. And when your bank account passes from zero to 16 thousand five hundred, I thought: 'I will not have to work anymore. I am rich. This is over. The drinks run on my own! ' But I paid the preparation course for the exam, I approved … and the rest is history.”
