50 Things You Learn Binge-Watching Every WWE WrestleMania

If 'Mania 22 was sad, then 23 is trippy.

There's no need to get too political here, but let's say one thing: The world was a very different place back in 2007. WWE promoted a 'Battle Of The Billionaires' between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon, and most folks sided with the former. In other words, Trump was one of the biggest babyfaces around heading into the show. He represented everything Vince McMahon wasn't on-screen.

Bobby Lashley was Trump's man for 'Mania. Vince picked Umaga, and it was announced that the losing "manager" would have his head shaved. McMahon took the plunge and ended his night bald as everyone cheered Donald like he was the second coming of 'Stone Cold'. Steve Austin was involved in the match too, for the record.

Few could've predicted back then that Trump would go on to become United States President twice. That would've sounded so outlandish. In '07, he was a successful businessman WWE deployed as the antithesis of McMahon tyranny. Some will either get a kick out of the idea that the media babyface'd Trump this way, or they'll want to skip 23's billionaire battle completely in favour of other matches.

If you need a reminder of how things have changed worldwide since, then this is an interesting snapshot. Donald Trump was one of the biggest heroes on TV, McMahon was still riding high as a cartoonish caricature of the evil boss, and both Lashley and Umaga were considered to be the future. History is undefeated at times like this.
