• Original Plan For Vince McMahon – Donald Trump “Battle Of The Billionaires” At WrestleMania 23
During a recent edition of Talk Is Jericho podcast, WWF Legend Chris Jericho and former WWE writer Court Bauer talked about Donald Trump’s storyline with Vince McMahon in 2007.
Bauer went on to talk about how the original plan for their WrestleMania 23 match got changed:
“Originally, it was supposed to be, instead of Bobby Lashley, we had Rey Mysterio in there. And then, the thought was [imitating Vince McMahon], ‘well, why would Donald pick him? He’d want someone big!’
And that’s why Bobby got it, and, unfortunately, Rey didn’t get that big WrestleMania payday.”
