Donald Trump has become one of the most infamous men in America thanks to his run as the 45th President of the United States, and he also has a long history with WWE.
Vince McMahon and Donald Trump spent some time hyping up the Battle of the Billionaires on the road to WrestleMania 23, and at one point Vince McMahon thought that Donald was intentionally trying to show him up.
Former WWE writer Court Bauer recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho, and she shared an interesting story about Vince McMahon being living in a limo after a face off with Trump.
“Donald Trump was there doing the angle with Vince, and one night, we’re doing some sort of in-ring deal with Trump and Vince. And it was cold, and Donald Trump has that big winter jacket. He’s 6’4″ or something like that. He’s kind of a deceptively tall guy. They’re doing a promo, and Vince and him are going face-to-face as the ‘Battle of Billionaires’ thing goes down.”
“Afterwards, we’re in the limo and Vince is just livid. They get along great, but there’s that kindred spirit thing with them and everything. He felt like Donald had intentionally showed him up. He’s like, ‘Did you see that? He was wearing that jacket. Clearly his shoulder pad was stuffed to look bigger. It’s ridiculous.’ And he was really hot about Trump trying to look bigger than him.”
Ultimately Bobby Lashley went on to represent Trump at WrestleMania 23 with Umaga representing Vince McMahon in the Battle of the Billionaires. Lashley won the match, and after Vince McMahon got his head shaved.
