Whenever a wrestler has decided to change his look by going bald, they turned it into a match angle where the loser loses his hair. Vince has awesome hair and he's always been proud of it. I don't see him willingly wanting to shave his head. TRUMP on the other hand has horrible "hair" and has maybe decided to go bald. This has been HUGE publicity for Trump AND the WWE. So suppose Trump went to Vince about it? Wanted to shave his head but also wanted it to be a big deal and a publicity stunt. It's worked. The news is EVERYWHERE. I'm willing to bet that this Wrestelmania will be the most watched Mania in a VERY long time.

So that's why I have a feeling that Trump will lose. On the other hand, I don't see Lashley ever losing to Umaga (or anyone else for that matter) and I sure as hell don't see Steve Austin ever holding up Vince's hand in victory.

I'm giving this match 50/50 odds.

I'm on the fence as well. I would never have thought that Vince McMahon would shave his head, even if it was for an angle. Having said that, even if Trump is going bald, I'm not sure that Vince would win. There would be more mileage to be gained by him (Vince) appearing as a cue-ball on the Raw after Wrestlemania.

For all the bad things that there are to say about Vince McMahon, an absolute positive that nobody should take away from him is that he would never ask a worker to do something that he wouldn't do himself. Since he has asked people to have their heads shaved before, it's only reasonable to assume that he's willing to have it done to himself as well. On top of that, another absolute positive about Vince is that he is always willing to let himself be humiliated (at least, in a "heel being embarrassed" sort of way). I could very much see Vince willingly booking an angle where his head gets shaved.

With Trump, on the other hand, he has nothing to gain out of letting this happen. As hideous as Trump's hair is, it's part of his gimmick, so to speak, and going bald would be a huge thing for him. However, more importantly, Donald Trump has a life beyond the wrestling world, while Vince McMahon does not. A guy who's really just doing some guest appearances in the world of wrestling isn't going to let something so drastic get done to him, when he then has to continue doing his other non-wrestling Trump things afterward.
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.

I agree with everything everyone has said... But I still see it going either way. Trump may go bald.

yeah, that really made me sick too.....Cena escapes the crossface but then Benoit taps so easily to Cena's stupid move. LAME.

I was unsure about how the WM match would turn out, but now I'm sure. WWE is trying so hard to make Cena look like the best there is....so he'll win over HBK and then HBK will hold Cena's hand up as victor...as if he is condoning Cena as champ. Fuck Cena.

lol, I've gotta say, I'm really glad I didn't see Raw if I was going to have to watch Chris Benoit tap out to John Cena. I was already pissed off enough when they had Sabu, who had never tapped out once in his career (at least not with the Sabu gimmick), tap instantly to Cena's weak-ass version of the Regal Stretch.

Ah well...that said, I have to say that I don't really mind the idea of Cena going over at 'Mania. They can't have both titles change hands, and the worst thing that could ever happen in the history of forever would be a no-talent whiny little crybaby like Batista, who can't even have much of a career left since he's already 39 (maybe even 40 by now?) being the one who gets to end Undertaker's Mania streak. I still don't care for Cena all that much, but the fact is that he's going to be the leader of this generation, and a win over HBK will be a very helpful thing for him.

The Donald Trump,Lashley/Vince McMahon, Umaga match. The actual match itself wouldn't be a joke. But the wager between McMahon and Trump is one big April Fools joke. Wrestlemania airs on 1 April 2007. I don't see either one shaving off their billion dollar hairdos. It's a set up April Fools Joke.

LT might have a point... But WM has been on April 1st a couple times with big matches and nothing happened.

Not a chance of it being an April Fools joke. This is the biggest event of the wrestling year, and Vince vs. Trump is the most heavily promoted match on the show (I'll stop myself from ranting about that). There's no way that Vince McMahon would make a move that dumb as to bait and switch the fans in such a blatant, deliberate fashion on the biggest show there is for him.
