This weekend’s WrestleMania 23 will have millions of viewers watching as one of two billionaires have their heads shaved on national TV.
Dubbed the “Battle of the Billionaires”, Donald Trump and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon signed on the dotted line on March 13 agreeing to the highly anticipated “Hair vs. Hair” match at WrestleMania 23.
Each billionaire has a wrestler who will represent them in the match and the losing billionaire will lose his locks if his wrestler loses the match. Donald Trump’s designated wrestler is ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, and Vince McMahon’s designated wrestler is “The Samoan Bulldozer” Umaga.
If Lashley wins, Trump will shave off McMahon’s hair, but if Umaga wins, Trump will have his hair shaved off live in front of a worldwide pay-per-view audience and more than 75,000 fans at Ford Field in Detroit.
At first Trump, 60, was hesitant to participate. He said the 61-year-old McMahon persuaded him by making a “sizable” donation to charity. Both Trump and McMahon will donate their checks, an amount McMahon said should exceed $5 million. WrestleMania 23 already has topped $5 million in ticket sales, making it the highest grossing one-day live event in WWE history.
Stone Cold Steve Austin will police the “Battle of the Billionaires” as the special guest referee.
WrestleMania 23 will be broadcast on pay-per-view TV on Sunday, April 1, 2007 at 7 EST / 4 PST.
