Steve Austin On Giving Donald Trump The Stunner At WrestleMania 23

Donald Trump is the current President of the United States of America, but he also happens to be a WWE Hall of Famer.

Trump has a long history with WWE, and at WrestleMania 23 he participated in the Battle of the Billionaires.

Ultimately Bobby Lashley won the match on Donald Trump’s behalf, and after he picked up the win Vince McMahon got his head shaved on live TV.

But Donald didn’t make it out of the event unscathed, as he was hit with a Stone Cold Stunner courtesy of Steve Austin, and Austin recently explained during an appearance on KFC Radio how it all came together.

“Man I tell you what. No but here’s how that went down. I was going to be the referee and it was team versus team and whoever’s team lost. The head of that team which was Vince[McMahon] and Trump were gonna have to get their head shaved. Of course you knew Donald Trump wasn’t going to get his head shaved cuz it’s pro wrestling.”

“Vince was gonna get shaved. So all of a sudden Vince comes to me and straight up there this is the way it happened. We’re in the back area. 90,000 people out there Ford Field and he goes “Steve come over here. I’m gonna see if I can get Trump take a stunner. I said, “Aw bull shit”. I said, ” You think he will?” He goes “I know Donald he’ll do it.” So anyways he goes “Donald, Come over here” and he goes, “Steve this is Donald Trump.” “Hey, Mr. Trump. How are you doing?” And I met him. He goes “Listen I was thinking about after everything is all said and done. Steve would hit you with his finished move.” “Well what is it.” “Well it’s called a stunner and it kind of goes like this.” And Donald Trump’s right hand guy all of a sudden goes, “Oh no no no no you don’t need to do that there’s a million reasons why you shouldn’t do that. And here’s why.” But Donald said, he looked at Vince, and he goes “You think it’ll help the show?” He goes “Oh Donald they’ll go crazy.” So Donald Trump was man enough to go out there and now we botched it. It was the slickest stunner that I ever delivered but I give him credit. Just from it. Whatever anyone’s opinion is that he did was cool enough and in a Showtime event like that event to go out there and be a part of the show and make people happy. I dug it.”
