(10,565 posts)23. It's an astronomical stretch to call Donald Trump a pro wrestler
He was involved in the WWF/WWE for a while, but he was was never remotely a wrestler.

In January of that year, The Donald interrupted Mr. McMahons Fan Appreciation Night on Raw and dropped tens of thousands of dollars from the rafters of the arena onto the WWE fans below. Red-faced that a rival would steal the spotlight from him, Mr. McMahon challenged Trump to a Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23 with the stipulation that the loser of the bout would have his head shaved bald.
A record number of viewers tuned in to watch The Donald back Bobby Lashley to victory over Mr. McMahons Umaga and subsequently shave the WWE Chairmans signature mane in the center of the ring.
The business magnates locked horns again in June 2009 when Trump purchased Monday Night Raw and immediately announced that next weeks show would air commercial-free and that every WWE fan that who purchased a ticket would be given a full refund. The trademark Trump public relations flourish nearly made Mr. McMahons head explode and forced him to buy his show back from The Donald for twice the price.

It was all a pathetic act. (obviously Trump couldn't act either) He never wrestled. Any legitimate wrestler would have killed him.

The topic and concept was excellent, but it lacked the quality of Brazil, etc.

I'm kind of hoping he'll try to insert himself into the UFC "action" and take an elbow in the face.

I seen it, but wasn't impressed. Now thinking back it makes sense with the people worshipping a conman.

People rave about it, but I've never seen it as anything other than mediocre.
