I've mentioned a few times recently that I'm finally starting to tire of pro wrestling, after being a fan for most of my life. But what's going on now might be the last straw.
The upcoming Wrestlemania pay-pay-view, traditionally the biggest of the year, is hyping as its major confrontation... Vince McMahon vs. Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. They're both billionaires and they hate each other- get it?
No, Vince and Donald won't actually be squaring off in the ring; they'll each be in the corner of wrestlers, and whichever wrestler loses, the corresponding billionaire will get his head shaved. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, it ain't.
Maybe wrestling is just running out of ideas. But come on- why in the world would anyone get excited about Trump vs. Vince? Hell, most people I know hate them both.
