WrestleMania 23 held the record of highest number of buys until it was broken by WrestleMania 28, featuring The Rock vs John Cena.

The reason for this incredible turnout was the fact that the event was centered around the rivalry of McMahon and the future president of the United States, Donald Trump. To add to the drama, Stone Cold Steve Austin was appointed as the referee for the Lashley vs Umaga match, with the loser's advocate getting his head shaved.

After Vince McMahon failed to help Umaga win the match, he was grabbed by the trio of Trump, Lashley, and Austin, and forced onto the barber chair. What followed was one of the most embarrassing moments of Vince's career, as a sea of 80,000 fans and millions at home watched him get his head shaved on the grandest stage of them all.

The WWE has never shied away from the opportunity to partner with other celebrities, and this might have been the most explosive association of them all.

Stone Cold, who has been Mr McMahon's nemesis since day one, never wasted the opportunity to get one over his boss, helping Donald Trump emerge victorious.

Vince's sacrifice paid off big time as WrestleMania 23 went on to break several records.
