Billionaire B*tch Slap
The WWE press conference held Wednesday afternoon started off as a nice, normal press conference, but ended with a bang…or should I say a billionaire b*tch slap.
Coach announced all the matches and hyped up the big matches set for Wrestlemania, saving the McMahon/Trump match-up for last. He invited McMahon out and it seemed that, at first, McMahon was trying to stay out of character. But with the crowd screaming “WHAT” at everything he said, that didn’t last for long.
McMahon said that Trump symbolizes greed and that all of America was waiting to see him shaven bald, which he promised would happen. A barber’s chair had been set up near the stage and Vince sat in it and told a little story about what would happen to Trump on Sunday night.
Donald Trump had his say, though, swearing that he and Vince used to be friends, but that they no longer were due to the way Vince treats the WWE fans. He todl the crowds that he was better than McMahon on every level, and said that he had done his research before getting Bobby Lashley to wrestle for him, so he knew that Bobby was the best and would definitely destroy Umaga.
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin had a turn at the podium, reminding the crowd of how huge an event Wrestlemania is; that it is even bigger than the Superbowl. He then asked both Trump and McMahon to join him at the podium for one last photo-op before the shaving ceremony on Sunday. Trump went to shake hands but Vince backed off and started to mock Trump. Trump slapped him hard across the face which sent Vince flying backwards. Then, after security kept Vince away from him, Lashley took Vince down. Vince stormed off as the live feed ended.
Definitely a good precursor to Sunday’s Wrestlemania, don’t you think?!

The audience likes to see the bad guy get it, so they save it for last to keep everyone watching. Knowing WWE as I do, be on the lookout for something unexpected.

Nice knowing that there is other fellow wrestling fans over in UK.
Yeah Vince (I believe is trying to make a point) is trying to heighten to “wrestling world” with a power house of “MONEY” eventually stretching out this event to further FATTEN his wallet.
