Donald Trump has a long history with the WWE and he’s made several appearances on screen over the years. At one point Donald Trump even became the owner of Monday Night Raw after he bought the show during a storyline in 2009. He later sold the show back to Vince McMahon.
Trump was also involved in the Battle of the Billionaires which took place at WrestleMania 23. Donald Trump and Vince McMahon both put their hair on the line, and Trump selected Bobby Lashley who fought Umaga on behalf of Vince McMahon. Umaga was defeated by Lashley, and Trump helped to shave Vince McMahon’s head due to the stipulation. In 2013 Donald Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
People all around the world are reacting to the election on social media, and that includes stars from the wrestling world. Prior to the election Mick Foley spoke out against Donald Trump on Facebook, and following Trump’s victory he told fans that he fears for the future.
Foley posted the following on Facebook:
“Sure, I’m heartbroken over the US election and fear for the future of Mankind…but, that’s looking at the glass half-empty. Let’s look at the glass half-full!”

Horrible nightmare last night. It was so weird, I was in Germany but the U.S. was Germany now? But from like, 80 years ago? So weird? Scary.

Many people asking…
"How did the media get it so wrong?"
Because they have been lying to you every step of the way.

Ironic. I've not seen one tweet from a gloating Trump supporter today but I've seen hundreds of hateful, & obscene ones from Hillary's side.
