Vince goes on about Trump dumping money on the crowd.
Trump says he’s doing it again tonight.
Vince says he thought Trump might do that so he has security up there to stop the money drop.
“You suck,” huge chants.
Vince asks specifically why Trump’s there.
“Asshole,” huge chant.
Vince apologizes for the crowd.
Trump says they’re right.
Vince asks why again.
Trump says he’s taller than Vince, stronger than Vince and thinks he can beat him in the ring. He challenges Vince to a match at WM. He wants to kick Vince’s ass.
Vince says in his last match he was severely injured and his physician says he should not wrestle again. So why doesn’t he find someone to represent him, Trump can do the same and they can each be in the corners.
Trump doesn’t like it. Trump says Vince is rich, Trump is richer. So, what they should do is Vince pick a representative...
Vince says that of course Trump wants to raise the stakes.
Someone yells that Vince is scared and Trump agrees with the person. Trump says if Vince’s person loses that Trump can shave Vince’s hair. If Trump’s person loses Vince can shave his head. Now, there’s rumors that Vince’s hair isn’t his, and the same has been said about Trump. Trump pulls back his bangs to show his hair is real.
Vince asks the crowd if they want to see the match - They do. Vince then says he knows Trump has something up his sleeve, so he won’t do it.
“You suck!” chant.
Trump says that up until now he thought Vince had guts. He goes on about the match a couple weeks ago and he thinks the wrestler Vince had play Rosie was much too good looking compared to the real thing.
Vince gets pissed at Trump’s put-downs and says the match is on. The men shake hands rather hard and Trump leaves the ring. He backs up the ramp with Torrie on one side in blue and Ashley on the other side in black.
