A new article about former WWE CEO Vince McMahon was recently published by The Wall Street Journal.
The firm revealed that it uncovered an additional $5 million in unrecorded payments related to Vince in a filing with the SEC last week. According to the latest WSJ article, the donations went to Donald Trump’s foundation.
According to the story, the 76-year-old gave $5 million to Donald J. Trump’s now defunct organization. The 45th President of the United States reportedly received a $4 million payout for his participation in WrestleMania 23. Donald received a $1 million check from Vince for his participation in a 2009 RAW program.
At WrestleMania 23, Bobby Lashley and Donald Trump took on Umaga and Vince McMahon in a battle dubbed the “Battle of the Billionaires.” Depending on who won the match, Donald or Vince shaved their hair. After the fight, Trump shaved McMahon’s head after Bobby defeated Umaga.
According to the article, Trump personally reviewed the contract he signed for WrestleMania 23 with his team to ensure his head would never be shaved.
