10 Times Vince McMahon Shook Things Up In WWE

7. Agreed To Publicly Embarrass Himself

Credit where credit is due, Vince McMahon isn't afraid to humble himself for the entertainment of his fan base. From routinely getting shown up by 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin during the epic Austin vs. McMahon feud of the late-90's, to suffering the fate of having his head buried in Rikishi's ample behind, there isn't much Vince won't do to fill air time. People can say what they want about the merits of having Donald Trump involved in WrestleMania, but he's an internationally-known businessman to the media, and millions worldwide instantly recognise his name. It's also well-known that Trump has an ego, something which clashed well with the 'grapefruits' of Vince McMahon in storyline. At WrestleMania 23, Bobby Lashley faced Umaga, represented by Trump and McMahon respectively. The stipulation was that whomever saw their man lose, their head would then be shaved bald. There was a lot of skepticism surrounding the idea, but McMahon went through with it, kicking and screaming as he got the ultimate haircut in front of millions.
