I read on Rajah.com that Trump was on Imus in the Morning and promoted his Wrestlemania match. He also kinda gave away who his representative is, by referring to Lashley as Lindsay, and saying that he is the strongest guy he has ever seen. What do you think about this?

I think it's great for WWE because Vince wants WM to get alot of mainstream media attention. With Trump involved many people who are not interested in WWE will get to see some WM and it drives up the interest.,but lol Vince is cringing because he can,t even remember Lashley's name. Here's the link from the photo shoot to publicize the match taken last Sunday at NWO in L.A.http://www.top-rope.com/trc.php?id=news/headlines/174029990.html

Its wrestle mania and u need to have big larger then life personas and Trump fits completely in that situation. Trump is a bigger public figure then Vince McMahon and obviously Vince's decision to involve Trump in a wrestling match at WM is to get free and automatic publicity by media and Vince also made a huge move when he dropped large sum of money on Raw (claiming it coming from Trump) is because to get trump over with crowd, cuz an average American fan is not familiar with someone like Donald Trump, in that regard i would say Vince McMahon is an marketing genius. 2 things have happened with Vince involving trump first he not only promoted Wrestle mania 23 to the mainstream American media thru Trump but also Trumps failing Apprentice show on NBC which badly needed ratings and lately apprentice's ratings are up
but anyways if this match was just an umaga vs lashley match i can guarantee that fans wouldn't be so much interested cuz both individuals aren't over with fans but
fans are now interested when Vince is involved and his special guest, so the fact is people get excited and get curious when McMahon gets involved and yet many hypocrites claim that they hate him
so my friend whatever u see on Raw/SD & ECW is all product of Vince's marketing strategy

I think that Lashley can beat umaga, after he beat the big show.Lashley is strong so bye bye Vince and the hair.

I think it is a good marketing ploy which Vince is very good at . I hope Donald wins with his man I like to see Vince in his new image, he and Kurt Angle would make good door knobs.

I, personally, find it stupid.
All these matches without real wrestlers are dumb, ESPECIALLY that Rosie vs Donal Trump match, when those fakes came out and they built hype for that. It's taking slots away from REAL WRESTLERS WHO NEED IT, like CARLITO, TREVOR MURDOCH, AND SHELTON BENJAMIN, etc...
It's the dumbest thing i ever heard of.
