Battle of the Billionaires..




Last night on Monday Night RAW, in dramatic fashion, it was announced that Stone Cold Steve Austin would be special guest referee for Wrestlemania 23's "Battle of the Billionaires". Not so much announced in words, but in dramatic fashion as Stone Cold burst out from backstage onto the ramp, and stormed down into the ring. He then proceeded to drink several beers, bashing them high above his head in a toast to the crowd and fans. In the process Vince and Shane were both sprayed with beer, Vince especially so, leaving McMahon looking disgusted. Once again, Vince's worst nightmare has become true, with his arch-enemy Austin back to see to it that McMahon is humiliated.

In the Battle of the Billionaires, Vince's wrestler, Umaga, will battle Donald Trump's representative, Lashley. If Trump's man wins, Vince will be shaved bald, and vice versa. Trump appeared last week on the popular "Imus" radio show and TV show on MSNBC. During the interview, Imus spoke about how because wrestling is "staged" that it's hard to believe Trump will lose this one, because Trump wouldn't go bald. Trump explained how the whole match came about, when Vince contacted Trump and offered to donate a very large amount of money to charity. Trump agreed to it and they also arranged the contest for Wrestlemania. Trump spoke about how Vince is a very generous and smart businessman as well.

The Battle of the Billionaires will take place on April 1, 2007 at Wrestlemania 23 in Detroit, Michigan. Trump is set to appear on next week's Monday Night RAW in Washington, DC for the contract signing for this huge matchup.
