US President Donald Trump's bizarre incidents with WWE
Even before Donald Trump became the 45th President of USA, he was already a popular figure among the fans of WWE. WrestleMania IV and V were sponsored by Trump Plaza. They took place in the Atlantic City Convention Hall, which began his association with the company. From being stunned by Stone Cold to shaving Vince McMahon, Trump's history with WWE is bizarre. Here's more.
Raining money, shaving Vinny Mac
Trump first appeared on WWE Raw in a story-line feud with Vince McMahon. He showered real dollar bills on the live audience and stole the show. This led to "Battle of the Billionaires" where Vince McMahon chose Umaga and Trump partnered with Bobby Lashley. Trump and Co. won the match and then his team and Stone Cold shaved McMahon's head live on air.
Stone Cold stuns a would-be President
If Stone Cold was asked, among all the people he had 'stunned' over the years, can someone would go ahead and become President, Austin would have never guessed. But Stone Cold created history without even being aware of it. After shaving McMahon, Stone Cold turned on Trump, drank a beer with him and applied his finishing move, the Stunner, on his future President.
Trumps buys Monday Night Raw
In 2009, Donald Trump again appeared on Raw. He made a shock announcement, especially for Vince McMahon, that he has bought the long-term 'Monday Night' franchise. Trump made a change in the next Raw episode as it was aired commercial-free. However, there were buckets of KFC on the commentators' table. The next episode saw Vince McMahon buying back Raw for double the amount.
The Jesse Ventura prophecy comes true!
Jesse Ventura had an illustrious career as he had a long tenure with WWE. He, then, got involved in politics and was eventually elected as Minnesota's Governor. Ventura returned to WrestleMania XX, where he interviewed Trump, to whom he said, "White House needs a wrestler", showing his interest in returning to politics. He wasn't aware the prophecy would come true for the interviewee.
