Vince McMahon and Donald Trump had a storied on-screen rivalry on WWE programming that led to one of the biggest WrestleMania shows ever. Their friendly feud hasn't stopped there, apparently.
Trump gave a polarizing speech at the Republican National Convention last week, and had an entrance that became somewhat of a meme, drawing comparisons to that of longtime WWE Superstar, The Undertaker. During an interview with Meet The Press Sunday, Trump told Chuck Todd that Vince McMahon actually contacted him in regards to the entrance.
CHUCK TODD: Let me tell you, you bring up Thursday night, I've got to ask you about your entrance. Before we get to Thursday, that Monday night entrance was something else. I know you've gotten a lot of feedback on it.
DONALD TRUMP: I think I'm a little bit lucky, and a couple of people had that idea and I went along with the idea. And everything just worked right. And it was so good that they wanted to do it on Thursday night. I said, "Never in a million years, because you'll never get it that way again."
CHUCK TODD: I don't think I've seen that even on WWE.
DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, I know. Well, Vincent's a good friend of mine. He called me, he said, "That was a very, very good entrance." But I didn't want to do it a second time, because, you know, it never works out the second time.
McMahon and Trump squared off for WrestleMania 23's "Battle of the Billionaires," which led to the biggest WWE PPV buyrate of all time.
