RE: Mr. McMahon and Donald Trump's Battle of the Billionaires Contract Signing

_________________________________________________________

Event Details: Trump went on WWE Raw/Wrestlemania, it was hilarious. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVeVcVBW_CE

Attendees/Audience: WWE Raw viewers

Press: N/A

Summary of Event: FLAGS - Oh man, this whole thing is pretty great. Some strangely similar language used on WWE Raw as on the campaign trail (not exactly surprising).

Key Points:

00:00

Vince McMahon trash talks for the first few minutes. Umaga (the Samoan bulldozer) is his “representative” for the deal signing.

5:08

MONEY - money money money money (Apprentice theme)

5:15

Trump walks out with two models(?)

6:44

Trump: First of all, Vince - your grapefruits are no match for my Trump Towers. You better hold your guy back, Vince. Because he’s going to have a hard time on April 1st, let me tell you right now. He’s going to have the hardest time he’s ever had in the ring - and you know, Vince? When my man was last in the ring with you, he did a big number on you, Vince. You were scared. You were frightened. You didn’t want to be in the ring with him. And I want to introduce him now, Vince - there’s nothing for you to say. I want to introduce him. ECW World Champion, Bobby Lashley, folks - my man.

7:39

Bobby Lashley enters in the most awesome way

7:58

Trump: -quietly- Hey Bobby

8:28

Trump: We love you, Bobby.

8:38

McMahon: Back off, sonny. Back off

8:46

Trump: Do we love Bobby? Do we love Bobby?

8:54

McMahon suggests they “get down to business”

9:01

McMahon; You don’t mind if I sign first, do ya?

Trump: You sign first, Vince - go ahead and sign first.

9:20

McMahon: Before you sign, you should know this will probably be the last deal you make with hair on your head

9:28

Trump: You know what, Vince? I doubt that - I doubt that very much. I think Bobby is going to kick your guy’s ass

9:50

McMahon says that Trump can’t get out of this deal - Battle of the Billionaires is ON

9:58

Trump: I don’t want to get out, Vince

10:00

McMahon makes buzzing noises and pretend to shave Trump’s head. Says that 95% of the celebrities he’s polled wants him to win so he can shave Trump’s head bald. “And that’s a fact” (weird foreshadowing of how Trump interprets polling?)

10:28

Trump: Well, you know, Vince - I don’t know if you’ve seen the latest poll. I saw the other night, John Travolta, he prefers Trump. I see others prefer Trump. The poll shows 95% of the Hollywood celebrities want your head shaved - and we’re going to it, Vince, we’re going to do it.

10:54

McMahon: You might have some support from this audience, but 95% of them are idiots (still true today)

11:03

Trump: To me, they look like a very smart group of people (basically running for president on WWE Raw)

11:13

McMahon and Trump trash talk a bit more

11:28

“Referee” busts in on the meeting - STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

12:40

Steve Austin asks two questions to settle this deal here in Washington, D.C. - asks crowd if they think McMahon or Trump will win? The crowd wants The Donald.

13:37

SCSA: You know, Donald, I’m not sure we’ve been formally introduced yet - my name is Stone Cold Steve Austin and you’re standing in my ring. If you’re standing in my ring, what I say goes - I hope you understand that. -makes fun of Donald looking like a stiff; reminds Donald that he can’t fire Stone Cold Steve Austin because HE DON’T WORK FOR YA; tells Donald not to PISS HIM OFF because he’ll WHOOP YOUR ASS if you do - “Now look at me while I’m talking to you, because I’ve done my research on you...”-

15:27

Stone Cold Steve Austin confronts McMahon for smirking - asks him if he’s got a problem with bald people. Bobby Lashley gives the best glare (he’s got a shaved head too). SCSA gives McMahon what’s what.

17:37

McMahon explains that SCSA was saying that when Umaga beats Lashley, they’ll shave Donald’s head bald.

18:23

(as McMahon walks away from the ring)

Trump: Hey Vince - HEY VINCE. HEY VINCE. You listen to me, Vince. I’ve been watching you the last couple of weeks. All over your office, all over this place, all over every arena in this country, you’re showing me with my head shaved bald - right? That’s what you’re doing, you’re having a lot of fun aren’t you? Well let me tell you what I did - I did a little number on you. Because I had something done with your head shaved bald, Vince - take a look (image displayed on screen)

9:14

Trump: Not so pretty, Vince, is it, huh? That’s what you’re going to look like on April 1st, Vince. You’re going to look just like that, April 1st, Vince.

19:30

Trump: Bobby, I want you to do a number on them, baby. They say you’re the best - I want them - I just want them to suffer. I want them to suffer, Bobby. Okay, man.

19:46

Trump: What are you saying to me Vince? What are you saying? What are you saying, Vince? … You want some? You want some? Come on up here. Come on up, Vince. Let’s go.

20:05

Trump: Come on up, Vince. -McMahon goes back to the ring- Come on. -McMahon turns back around - crowd boos- You don’t have it, Vince. You don’t have it - you never had it. Alright, Bobby - get out of the ring. Go ahead, Bobby, get out of the ring. You do your number on Umaga, let me take this guy on. Go ahead, Bobby.

20:37

Trump: Come on up, Vince. Come on up.

20:58

Trump: Come on up, Vince.

21:12

Trump: Get in the ring, Vince. Get in the ring. -throws microphone; McMahon throws chair and starts poking Trump in the chest-

21:38

Trump pushes McMahon onto negotiation table/across the ring (lol). Exits to MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. Doesn’t shake hands with anyone on his way out
