2 – Donald Trump Is a WWE Wrestling Hall of Famer

The Donald was inducted in 2013, for his contributions to Wrestlemania, which was hosted at Trump Towers twice. In 2009, he ‘bought’ WWE from his fellow billionaire Vince McMahon as a promotional stunt. He stepped into the ring to announce that the show will air commercial-free and give the audience a refund. This made TV ratings double, forcing McMahon to buy it back.

Trump was also inducted into the NJ Boxing Hall of Fame. The honor was Presented to him in 2015, for his promotional efforts and for being an adviser of Mike Tyson during the height of his boxing career.

Back in 2007, the real estate mogul really did double WWE’s ratings. The story line was that Trump crashed McMahon’s ‘Fan Appreciation Night’ speech, by dropping “tens of millions of dollars” on the crowd. McMahon challenged the intruder to a ‘Battle of the Billionaires.’ They picked a wrestler to compete for them and the winner would shave the loser’s head. Millions of viewers tuned in to see one billionaire give a haircut to the other.

Trump won and McMahon spent 10 minutes of Live air-time to mourn his hair and chug a can of beer.
