#4 Getting his head shaved bald (Vince McMahon's idea that fans loved)

The road to WrestleMania 23 in 2007 saw Vince McMahon feuding with Donald Trump on WWE TV. The two billionaires were hell-bent on one-upping each other, leading to a match at WrestleMania 23.

Bobby Lashley (representing Trump) took on Umaga (representing Vince McMahon) at 'The Show of Shows'. To make things bigger, Stone Cold Steve Austin became the referee, with an added stipulation that the loser would get his head shaved bald.

At WrestleMania in Ford Field, Lashley ended up defeating Umaga. More than 80,000 fans in the stadium witnessed Vince McMahon getting his head shaved bald by Trump, Austin and Lashley. McMahon knew that this otherwise embarrassing moment would prove to be a wise business decision.

WrestleMania 23 broke the record for highest pay-per-view buys for WWE and garnered 1.2 million buys. The worldwide revenue was around $24 million. The image of a screaming Vince McMahon getting his head shaved bald is still popular.
