The Brash Billionaire vs. The Left Leaning Lesbian

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has never been so proud to present live on Raw the “match” – Donald Trump vs. Rosie O’Donnell.

“This is the equivalent of Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, Stone Cold vs. The Rock, Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant,” McMahon said.

Using his vast influence, Mr. McMahon contacted both parties last night and both agreed to meet in the ring to settle their issue once and for all. When reached for comment, Trump was characteristically blunt.

“I don’t back down from a challenge. Rosie may host The View, but the only “view” she’s going to be seeing is me beating her butterball ass.”

Miss O’Donnell could not be reached for comment. Sources say she was consulting with her personal physician about possible gastric bypass surgery.

From Hollywood to Wall Street to the Nation’s Capital, the scorching hostility between The Donald and the Entertainment Queen will have all eyes on the USA Network tonight. While no one knows who will win, one thing is certain: EVERYONE has an opinion.

Barbara Walters, Rosie’s co-host on The View, was adamant in her opinion, saying “I’m 100 percent behind Rosie. Donald Trump claims I can’t stand Rosie but nothing can be further from the truth," Walters continued. "Just because she’s brash, opinionated, steals the spotlight from the other women on The View, belches without covering her mouth and leaves the toilet seat up… come to think of it, I hope Trump wipes the floor with her. That way maybe he can tell her what I’ve been dying to - You’re Fired!”

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh was reached for comment, and he stated “I can relate to both Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump. I mean, I’m overweight AND have bad hair. I see this match as a draw.”

Kevin Federline, a celebrity who has experience in the squared circle, had another opinion entirely.

“All I know is, I hope Rosie has the decency to wear underwear.”

And Paris Hilton had a unique perspective entirely.

“Wrestling? Is that like where the people fight each other? That is sooo barbaric. That’s what the dinosaurs did. Dinosaurs are stupid. What was the question again?”

The hype and animosity of this issue has reached unprecedented heights, all the way up to the President of the United States. When reached for comment, President Bush said, “I just hope this match ends definitively and soon. There’s nothing worse than a conflict that lasts and lasts with no end in sight and no clear exit strategy.”

With the nation’s appetite clamoring for resolution, Mr. McMahon’s plan to bring these media titans together is being hailed as a promotional stroke of genius.

“THIS is what America is all about,” the Chairman of WWE said. “Two out of control egomaniacs beating the holy hell out of each other. It will be brutal, it will be ugly, it might even be disgusting but it will be LIVE Monday Night at 9 p.m. ET on USA’s MONDAY NIGHT RAW!”

Yeah......

I'll tune in, just so I can laugh at the shitfest that is tonight's RAW.

If anything is worthy of being inducted into WrestleCrap before it even happens, you're looking at it.

Good call clockshot on makin' the thread :y:. Kinda pissed about all the shit that went down at the PPV, especially with the recurring finishes or the lack there of in matches. Hopefully we start focusing on the Rumble tonight.

Also, it's "Rep Everyone Who Posts" Night. So spread some rep.

Yo yo hope this is a good show, but I somehow doubt it. I think we're looking at a last minute rewrite situation, what with Trips going down to injury.

Well, here goes... enjoy the show, everyone.

Yeah Jim. I know you're usually on duty for RAW threads. But we're 20 minutes out and you were M.I.A. So I made one up really quick.

This will be Awesome I ASSURE YOU

Why is it "Rep everyone who posts" Night?

Ditto.

Bzzzt. Guess again Trips. Nice way to open the show.

Kicking off with the HHH injury. This could still be a pre-WrestleMania work, a bit like the whole Shawn Michaels post-concussion syndrome angle from 1995/96.

Why NOT have it be "Rep Everyone Who Posts" night?

Man I didn't notice Edge's new tattoo until they just showed the Pedigree on the table.

I was calling Umaga as the next WWE Intercontinental champion, but now they've announced tonights match I have a feeling Dykstra's taking the gold.

I humbly ask for a mod. to drop in and offically declare this.

If it wasn't for the superbotched RKO and Orton's vaudeville act with the chair last night, I would say it SCREAMS work.

GODDAMNIT WHY DOES EVERY PPV AFTER RAW HAVE TO HAVE A CENA CELEBRATION PROMO?!

Cena.

*click*

Let's see how Animal Jr. is doing.

McMahon and Trump are friends, are they not? And Trump is a wrestling fan. So, this will serve to make Rosie look as bad as possible. Much like the most unflattering photos they have chosen of her thus far.

Mixed reaction for Cena again? Maybe because of the lacklustre main event last night?

Yanks my Noodle?... Seriously?

I'm no huge Cena fan, but I do think he needs to be cut a little slack now. Sure, he's annoying as hell. But he hasn't exactly been subject to flattering booking, yet WWE still scratch their heads as to why Cena gets booed. Hey, Vince: maybe they ain't booing Cena, maybe they're just booing the way he is constantly being programmed.

Cena/Umaga at the Rumble. I'm calling it now.

Last night I called Cena an "annoying Jim Carrey wannabe". Tonight he's proved it.

Did Cena just call himself a dumb bastard?

If they fuck up the Royal Rumble with this shit main event I will kill someone

So, will Trips announce his retirement tonight? Probably not, but with HHH out of the picture, it should be interesting to see what happens

St. Louis. Orton turf......

LOL. Cena chant was eaten alive.

Here comes Khali?

Ohh a brand jump?

KAHLI AND CENA?! WTTTFFFF =/

Oh shit

Damn, I called that shit down the line.

Ah fuck off.....

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK the WWE

KHALI SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man.... WHY have Khali jump to Raw??

Ohio State Vs Florida thank god

Oh shit, I thought they got rid of this guy

Stop fucking pushing this guy. Seriously. Why? He sucked on RECORDED TV, how terrible will he be live?

I hate to say this, but I hope Cena squashes him.

And we never see him again.

Where does this leave Daivari then?

Daivari is actually a wrestler, he'll be fine on ECW.

Trump seriously needs to do something about that creepy comb over.

I love Donald Trump rn

Vince is such a clown.

This is either going to be great or utter shit

Vince has seriously got to be on Smack.

So they are releasing the Raw scripts on WWE.com now? Vince just said EXACTLY what he was quoted as saying earlier today.

Because he is over seven feet tall I guess

I'm voting on the latter

God I hope so

well theres another reason not to watch raw i said get kennedy not big dumb

FUDGEY THE WHALE ICE CREAM CAKE!

... Jesus Christ... I'm going to change the channel.

Trump is going to be a fake if Rosie's there.

:nono:

Thats not a half bad looking impersonator

I want death

I'm embarassed right now. More than I ever have been watching wrestling.

Gonna try and hang myself with my belt

I already have to say to this RAW....WTF??????

Well, after the 1st quarter. Florida is beating OSU 14-7.

How many spots will Hardy botch today?

One of the best parts of last night, Jeffery.

hell yea she looked just like her

Tipsters was BRUTAL for NYR.

please put some good matches on raw

anything with super crazy, hardy, shelton..

What happened to the glory days of 2004/5 - every week a main event with Jericho, benoit, hbk, orton, hhh, shelton

Ken Doane <3

Can we get Kenny some non awful music

l think Nature Boy ls gonna get involved into this match to cost him the title

Shit. He looks a hell of a lot older than 20.

Ken's only 20?! WTF. He's gonna be IC champ and I'm not? Fuck that.

DYKSTRA

This rosie/trump is already turning out to be late wcw bad.

Ouch. Jeez jeff. Don't kill Kenny's career now!

Seriously though, you'd think Vince would have better things to do than this latest edition to the Wrestlecrap Hall of Shame

God I hope Bobcore buries punk tomorrow.

Damn, I gotta get me Lost Planet.

Like I'm beginning to think vince is purposefully putting shit on television so TNA will catch up, and the competition will help him get his edge back.

It sounds retarded but its the only reason for the bad quality of the WWE that I can think of.

Lost Planet looks sicccccccccccccc

Uncle Carl's Fact Of The Day:

If Kenny Dykstra becomes the Intercontinental champion tonight, not only will he, at age 20, be the youngest ever I-C champ, but he will be taking the title from the current holder of that record. Jeff Hardy is currently the youngest ever I-C champion, having first won it aged 23.

So there.

21-14 FLA.

Did anyone see that Skittles commercial? That freaked me out.

Hey, there's Animal Jr.

Troy Smith FTW

Should I turn on RAW?

And so what happens to Dreamer's feud with Khali now? I guess back to feuding with Daivari.

is it worth

is it worth it? What

Johnny "dont call me Monday" Nitro

is it worth it? What matches have been announced?

Ken needs to whoop that ass. C'mon boy.

TOld Flair would get involved and cost him it

Nevermind the annocuned matches, you don't want to know that.

So much for a new champion.

Nice rhyme King. :roll:
