Portland, Oregon
Report By: Ed Sherrifs of PWInsider.com
WWE RAW Opener:
Vince McMahon is out first and he has a guest, star of The Apprentice and until recently, a good friend of Vince's. Donald Trump, who looks like he'd rather be in bankruptcy court, walks out with Torrie Wilson and Ashley. Vince thanks Trump for coming and tells the ladies to leave. Vince points out that even though Donald has hosted Wrestlemania, he's never been in a WWE ring. Trump says he is not intimidated, as Vince implied. Vince doesn't appreciate that Trump stole his catchphrase. He didn't like Trump dumping money on the crowd, either. Trump says that Vince will be embarrassed again, since the fans are getting money tonight. Vince calls the crowds undeserving, and says that his security has removed the cash from the ceiling. Now that is CHEAP heat! Vince brings up Trump's business proposal. The crowd chants a$$hole at Vince, and Trump concurs. Trump says he is taller, better looking, stronger than Vince, and challenges him to a match at WrestleMania. The battle of the billionaires. Trump promises to kick Vince's ass. Vince refers to injuries from last September's Hell in a Cell (split pelvis, broken coccyx) and turns him down. Vince suggests finding a hand picked representative, and that Trump do the same. Trump: "You're a rich guy, I'm a richer guy..." The Donald wants to raise the stakes. Vince thinks it is money. Trump calls cash boring, and instead proposes a Hair vs. Hair match. He brings up how there are rumors about both of them wearing hair pieces. Vince asks the crowd who wants to see that match, but then says no any way. Trump pulls the chicken card and says Vince has no guts. He brings up the Rosie-Trump match from a few weeks ago, and says he thought the actress was too good looking to play Rosie. For some reason, this sets Vince off and he accepts the match. Donald's wrestler vs. Vince's wrestler at WrestleMania 23, Hair vs. Hair is set. Commercial.
