>> This is Vince McMahon. >> You know he's a fierce competitor.
>> And this is Donald Trump. >> This won't be the first time
the two have worked together.- >> They pretend on screen to
despise one another, when really--- >> This is the Bob Costas interrupt
program, right?-
>> Excuse me, I've watched you on television.- You're a real beauty there early. They are
eerily similar. Take for example. >> When it comes to great stakes,
I've just raised the stakes. Trump stakes, which went under.
As did Trump vodka, Which also went under,
As did Trump University where he paid $25 million in settlements.
>> No other on the planet. The world's second largest building after the Pentagon.
>> Did over the Trump Taj Mahal. I mean you get the point. Vince McMahon still the face of the WWE
of business worth nearly 6 billion dollars as of this year. Even with Linda McMahon, Vince's wife,
taking a prominent role in the White House as the head of the Small Business Administration,
leaving the Trump White House, and taking the reins at Pro Trump super PAC America first action,
funneling money to the Trump campaign, it does not shield us from Vince's shortcomings.
From his racist merchandise, selling black face on shirts, to Vince saying the N word on national
television for his audience, to mandating a wrestler Golddust walk to the ring and black
face and later Triple H and D Generation X doing it, Vince has a say in all of it.
>> A lot of guys don't know what's happening yet, so it will probably by next week.
>> Now it is no shock someone like Vince McMahon would be buddy buddy with Trump.
>> WWE the Great Vince McMahon. >> Even getting a shout out from
a white supremacist. But it's the businesses that peaked my interest.
>> The new XFL will kick off in 2020. >> Well.
>> Almost, the XFL went bankrupt with former wrestler and current entrepreneur, The Rock
buying it from the command. Just like Donald Trump taking over the USFL's New Jersey generals,
when these men are at the helm, dollars will be lost.
>> Your own bodybuilding inspiration June Doctor Big Canon, for the WBF Championship live.
>> Before the XFL, there was the World Bodybuilding Federation.
>> The first WBF Championship, live June 15th at the Trump Taj Mahal.
>> With the Trump Taj Mahal hosting an event, there were accusations of fixing.
However, what did the men were two things. The first WWE ringside physician, Doctor George
T Zahorian was found guilty on 12 of 14 counts of selling anabolic steroids to
professional wrestlers, body builders, and even Vince McMahon. The second the
paper view audience was nowhere to be found, it lasted less than two years.
Then there was the WWE's attempts as a hotel/ casino venture, The WWF's parent company,
Titan Sports won an auction to buy the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino
in Vegas. They paid just a bit over $10 million for the property.
There was only one problem with their purchase. The location wasn't located on the Vegas Strip.
That is where all the action was. It was off on its own, and in this business
location was everything. After being sold to the Clarion Group, the site was then demolished
and is now a parking lot. Their great inspiration for pursuing this, Linda McMahon's friendship with
Donald Trump, who encouraged them to pursue the casino business.
There was also the Wrestle Vessel, a venture into
the cruise industry, which ran from 96 to 99. >> Wrestling fans went wild for their favorite and
not so favorite WWF superstars at the opening of the new restaurant bar in New York Times Square.
>> And the WWF's failed restaurant in Time Square, now the site of a Hard Rock cafe.
Her News day, the complex lost $18.3 million dollars in two and a half years. For more than
a year, it was bleeding money. The similarities of the Trump's an the McMahon's are uncanny.
No wonder they get along so well. If you'd like to hear more thought provoking content, like TYT
