Written: February 21, 2007The Battle of the Billionaires pitting Donald Trump and Mr. McMahon and their respective dos against one another at WrestleMania 23 has generated buzz worldwide. Trump and McMahon will be represented by the Superstar of their choice in the highly anticipated match. (McMahon has chosen new Intercontinental Champion Umaga while Trump will announce his choice next week on Raw.)
With the loser slated to get his head shaved, there is a lot more than ego on the line for these two billionaires. In this week's edition of Superstar to Superstar, Mr. McMahons Executive Assistant, Jonathan Coachman, confronts his boss WrestleMania foe. Would McMahons executive suck-up show his undying loyalty, or would he audition to become Trumps apprentice? Find out below:
Coachman: First of all, Mr. Trump, Im The Coach, Mr. McMahons executive assistant. So dont think for a minute that Im envious of sitting here next to you. Hows business for you these days?
Trump: Business is great. Its been amazing, its been the best its ever been for me. I know its been the best for Vince, and were going to put some of that business on the line come time for WrestleMania.
Coachman: Now on Raw Jan. 29, you literally dumped thousands of dollars on our audience. Mr. McMahon wasnt too happy with what you did, but then McMahon gave our fans what we like to call value. Why are you so hell-bent on, for lack of a better term, Trumping our audience?
Trump: Well, I like to give back to the fans. I dont like the way Vince treats them he takes advantage of them. And come time to have our showdown, I think its going to be a very interesting little dilemma hes got. I like the fact that Im giving something back to the fans after years of him taking advantage of them.
Coachman: Now you are aware that Mr. McMahon is nothing like Rosie ODonnell. Vince was on the cover of Muscle & Fitness. Its going to be a completely different animal youre going up against at WrestleMania.
Trump: Well, look, Ill tell you what: I am a big fan of what youve done with WrestleMania. Im not a fan of Rosie ODonnell. As you know, I called her a degenerate. I called her lots of other things. Shes just not a smart person, and she is certainly not an attractive person. In fact, I think Vince is far more attractive than Rosie. If it came down to having to kiss one of them goodnight, I think any male would have to choose Vince over Rosie. But
Its going to be something spectacular, and already everybody is talking about it.
Coachman: Now I wouldnt be myself if I didnt give you props for being part of our show and bringing the star power that you bring. But just for a second, lets talk about The Apprentice. I know youre very proud of the show, and its in California this year. What can we expect in the next several Sundays on The Apprentice?
Trump: Well, its been really terrific. Its in L.A. this year
There have been 15 copycats of The Apprentice, and every one of them have been off the air almost immediately. [Dallas Mavericks owner] Mark Cuban tried and failed. Richard Branson, so many others
Tommy Hilfiger.
Were now in our sixth season, so its been a really amazing thing for me, and its been a lot of fun. And I think its just more of the same. Its just a formula that seems to work. They seem to like the boardroom the most. Frankly, if you could make an entire hour of the boardroom, people would like it better than the task. But you need the task to get to the boardroom. But The Apprentice has been something thats really been fun for me. It became the No. 1 show on television for a long period of time, so Ive had a great time with it.
Coachman: You know, I was thinking before I came over here today that you need an idea guy, someone that helps you not just become a billionaire, but a trillionaire. And I know somebody like that. I can set up a meeting between you and me - er, him, him. If youd be open to something like that
Trump: I am totally open to that. You sound like the right guy.
Coachman: Dont let Mr. McMahon hear that. Now, last question: If your guy wins at WrestleMania, will you actually go through with shaving Mr. McMahons beautiful head of hair?
Trump: Absolutely. Theres no question about it. Now, people accuse me of wearing a hairpiece. I dont wear a hairpiece, but Ive been accused of it for years. Ive also heard them accuse him of wearing a hairpiece. Now, Ive never thought in terms of him wearing a hairpiece. I know he doesnt wear a hairpiece. Because frankly, if he wore a hairpiece, then it would be a lot easier. I could just rip the hairpiece off. But its not going to be that way because I know he doesnt wear a hairpiece. But I look forward to shaving his head thats something I really look forward to. My wrestler damn well better win.
Coachman: Ill ask one more question, if you dont mind. What made you agree to be a part of this? I know you said you have a tremendous amount of respect for WrestleMania. It could be one of the biggest weve ever had, one of the biggest crowds weve ever had
Trump: Not could be. This will be the biggest youve ever had because Im a part of it. This will be your highest-rated. This will be your biggest crowd. This will be your most exciting. This will be talked about far beyond just the realm of wrestling, which is a big realm. But this is going to be talked about all around the world. This will be, without question, the biggest WrestleMania.
