So, according to the latest WON news the idea following the Vince promo against Conway featuring lots of Trump and Vince's infamous attitude era catchphrase was a way to get Trump involved in WWE and get WWE mainstream attention.
The current plan is to have one wrestler with backing from Vince vs another, who would get a major rub having backing from Trump at the Rumble or a Raw some time after (personally i would wait until 'Mania).
This idea came from NBC who want to get Trump attention before the new series of the Apprentice.
So, who do we think will work for Vince and who for Trump? Will this even happen? Is it even a good idea?

If this happened it could be possibly the greatest thing ever. However I am a massive Trump mark.

I agree. I prefer someone thinking he's better than everyone else over money rather than some other celebrities think they're better because "I care for all the world's problems because I'm in Ad campaigns"

And he's always entertaining to listen to ... so it could be kind of fun to see him on RAW. I mean, I'd rather see wrestlers, you know, wrestling. But since when has my opinion counted for anything.

The only way I will like this idea if they both pick future up and coming stars in wrestling that can benefit from Mainstream attention. This could be like the whole Mike Tyson/Stone Cold deal that help boost Stone Cold and the WWE into the Mainstream.
And keep John Cena out of it!

I was discussing this with a friend of mine just now and thought of something interesting.
CM Punk vs. Gregory Helms.
Two young talents ripe for the putting over. Trump could pick Punk because he could see 'Money Making Buisness potential' from someone like him and Vince would pick Helms because he's the longest reigning singles champ on Smackdown. The winner could win a spot in the Rumble, thus Punk wins and goes the distance only to be eliminated by cheating of sorts.
I know, it's a stretch, but it would be pretty damn cool.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's gonna be Trump picking Cena and McMahon picking Edge.
Now how revolutionary would that be?

I'd love this idea. They'd both be very entertaining. But there's one thing that's not very clear in that report. NBC and Vince have this idea, but did anyone ever run it by Trump?

No idea, stole the info from the main WON post and decided it was worthy it's own thread.
The report does seem to hint that it's going to happen and that it would be people who need a rub picked rather than the already suggested Edge/Cena.
I reckon it's more likely to be Nitro vs. but i cant decide who will be the heel here to pick him. Vince is the WWE monster heel, but Trump is from outside, so im not sure.

Oh, now that we know NBC was the party that suggested it (and would they do such a thing without Trump's consent in the first place?), I'm certain this will probably happen.

I like Trump, and it is possible to suggest that the influence of the media and Mike Tyson at WM14 really kicked off the last big worldwide boom.
Of course Trump isnt really at the same level, but he's a good step up from K-Fed and has to lead us, well, me at least, to wonder which celebs might be brought in next?

I get a horrible feeling WWE is going to depend on celebrity guests a lot this year. TNA will not be safe either but not to the extent WWE will go to.
