There will be a high-stakes Battle of the Billionaires between Donald Trump and Mr. McMahon at WrestleMania 23. ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley (representing Trump) will take on Intercontinental Champion Umaga (representing Mr. McMahon) with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee. But bragging rights aren't the only thing at stake; it will also be a bad hair day for either Trump or McMahon, as the winning billionaire will get to shave the losing billionaire's precious hair.
The challenge was laid out on the Raw Thursday Night special. Trump challenged McMahon to a match, but the WWE Chairman cited that injuries suffered at Unforgiven months ago would prevent him from any further in-ring combat. Instead, he made Trump an offer of his own:
“I have a proposal for you,” muttered the Chairman. “Why don't I find someone to represent me, and you find someone to represent you?”
“You’re on!” responded Trump. “But let’s make this a little more interesting. As you know, I have quite possibly the most famous head of hair in the world, and for years, people have questioned if yours is even real!”
Seemingly driven by the encouraging pleas of Portland’s WWE fanatics, Trump continued.
“At WrestleMania, if my guy loses, you can shave my head,” said the fired-up billionaire. “But if your guy loses, I’m going to shave your head!”
McMahon rejected the offer, but after Trump questioned his guts, he accepted the match and the two shared a bitter handshake.
On the Feb. 19 Raw, McMahon announced Umaga as his choice. Moments later, the Samoan Bulldozer gave WWE fans a glimpse of how dangerous he can be by destroying Jeff Hardy to become Intercontinental Champion.
The following week, "The Donald" presented Lashley as his representative. The ECW World Champion and the Samoan Bulldozer stared down in the ring before igniting a massive brawl that took nearly two dozen security officers, referees and officials to break up. This prompted the WWE Board of Directors to get together and announce that they would appoint a special guest referee for the bout.
On March 5, Mr. McMahon thought he would hear his son Shane's name called to be the guest referee. But after Eric Bischoff, Mick Foley and Shane faked him out, none other than Stone Cold charged to the ring. Austin was in fact the WWE Board of Directors' choice, and he celebrated by giving Mr. McMahon an ice cold beer bath.
So at WrestleMania, it will be Champion vs. Champion, Extremist vs. Bulldozer, Billionaire vs. Billionaire. Which side will claim victory, and which billionaire will leave Ford Field with a new look?
