If the WWE could fire Donald Trump right now, they might just consider it.The billionaire mogul is going to be part of the most high profile match at WrestleMania on April 1st, but apparently hasn't bothered putting any kind of effort into the promotion of the event.
Two weeks ago, Trump was a guest on "The Howard Stern Show". There was absoultely no mention of the WWE in the entire interview.
Yesterday morning, Trump was on the WFAN in New York on Don Imus's show. Imus specfically asked about Trump's WrestleMania involvement, as it really didn't seem like The Donald was going to offer any info at all.
When Imus asked who would be representing him at Mania, Trump replied, "a guy named Lindsay".
Lindsay?
Ok. I legit popped out loud for that.
When asked about "Lindsay", Trump said he is a "black gentleman, and the strongest guy I've ever seen".
In case you haven't read any spoilers, or decoded Dumbass Donald's markspeak, ECW Champion Bobby Lashley will be his appointed representative.
From this point forward, I will only refer to the current ECW Champ as Lindsay.
What a slap in the WWE's face. They should punk him right back. "Hey folks, Dan Tramp is joining us tonight and wants to promote his tv show "The Intern".
The only thing Trump did right during his Imus appearance was the way he tip toed around the constant "Isn't wrestling fake?" question. He didn't come right out with an answer but put the talent over as tremendous athletes.
Trump also said that a percentage of the earnings from this match (not the card) are going to charity. Earnings from the match? A percentage of the gate? Are Lashley and Umaga donating part of their payoff? Doubtful. Is The Donald donating his loot? Sure, to the Trump Tower Renovation Fund.
Some of Trump's comments led to an Associated Press story where the legitimacy of this hair vs. hair match actually happening are being question. An AP writer stated it was all part of an elaborate April Fool's gag.
For a man who deals with the media every single day, and the fed was counting on for some great PR ... he's really blowin' it.

If I was Lashley I'd kick the Lindsay guy's ass.
What kind of f*cktard is Trump? That is so damn stupid. At least get a background on what you're doing. Not only that after a prior meeting with Lindsay, I mean Lashley, Vince, Umaga, and Austin you'd think he knew the guys name.
Ya it's not like he hasn't met Lindsay. I read that they did a photoshoot together last week!
I wonder if since the photoshoot he'll call Austin Ashley. That would definently score him some more brownie points backstage. Or maybe Umaga will become Ursala. In the words of Ron Simmons, DAMN!
Wow, did everybody already forget about that horrible Donald Trump/Rosie O'Donnell match a month or two ago?
Seriously, after having his name attached to that huge clusterfuck, calling Blackberg the wrong name really isn't such a bad thing. I consider it his inadvertant way of getting back at WWE creative.
Are you retarded Plunkett? The Rosie / Trump match were a couple of fakes doin a dumb parity. Trump had no actual involvement. This is him, on a promoting tour fucking up the biggest piece of info he is supposed to give.
Yeah, I'm aware it was a fake. But fake or not, his name is still attached to that clusterfuck. He certainly doesn't owe Vince any promotional favors after that.
Dude, Vince is waisting valuable tv time on the jackass, bad parody or not. The least he could do is get the names right!
Yeah, I don't think being attached to that is a reason to get the name wrong. Trump fucked one up, no excuses, he royally trumped it up. For the money he's going to pull in and "donate," he should at least know names.
Who wanted Trump to introduce his representative for the match last night as Lindsay? I kinda did.
