WWE's Vince McMahon gets Hollywood star
AP - It was a smackdown - Hollywood-style.
Vince McMahon, the promoter who helped turn professional wrestling into prime-time TV entertainment, got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He humbly thanked wrestlers and fans before shifting into the cocky, evil Mr McMahon persona he uses on World Wrestling Entertainment telecasts.
"I already know I'm a star," he said, drawing cheers from the crowd. "I'm the biggest star of all time."
McMahon, WWE's owner, was honoured in the television category.
He has often appeared in the ring himself and helped wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan and The Rock become mainstream show business stars.

where did you get that from ? now it wouldn't surprise me but if everyone could buy 'a star' what significance does 'the walk of fame' have ?
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

I read it somewhere that you have to pay for it or something.

I thought that too, I think that there's too many stars there at the moment as it's too easy to get one.

Its usually a fan club, movie studio or similar that nominates and pays for the star.
