10 Celebrities That Had The Most Influence In WWE History

8. Donald Trump

While many people know that both WrestleMania IV and V were held at the Trump Plaza and Casino in Atlantic City, what many DON€™T KNOW is that Vince McMahon€™s World Body Building Federation held their 1991 World Championship at Trump€™s Taj Mahal Casino. Trump and McMahon have been friends for years, and that bond would eventually result in a match at WrestleMania XXIII, where €œThe Donald€ was in the corner of baby face Bobby Lashley, and €œThe Vince€ was in the corner of the heel Umaga. As we all recall, if the wrestler that either represented won the match, then their opponent€™s representative for the night would get their head shaved. After Lashley went over in the match, he assisted Trump in shaving Vince€™s head. Trump would play a pivotal role in the WWE once again, when in June of 2009, he bought the WWE from Vince on an episode of RAW, only to sell it back to him a week later. With such a rich history with both Vince McMahon and his company, the WWE, over the years€”Donald Trump did indeed play an important role in the company€™s history. And that, would all be documented officially when Donald was inducted into the €œCelebrity Wing€ WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
