It was an opportunity that you just couldn’t pass up. Stone Cold Steve Austin recently opened up about the one time that he hit Donald Trump with a Stunner. Of course, this was way before the businessman became the President of the United States. Here’s what he had to say.
According to Wrestling News, Steve says that it all went down when he was still developing The Stone Cold Stunner movie. And while a lot of people have different theories as to what had transpired that day, Stone Cold sets the record straight.
Steve Austin Opens Up About Hitting Donald Trump
He said, “I was going to be the referee and it was team versus team and whoever’s team lost. The head of that team which was Vince[McMahon] and Trump were gonna have to get their head shaved. Of course you knew Donald Trump wasn’t going to get his head shaved cuz it’s pro wrestling.”
When the interviewer pointed out that it would be hard to shave a toupee (technically speaking), Stone Cold continued with, “Vince was gonna get shaved. So all of a sudden Vince comes to me and straight up there this is the way it happened. We’re in the back area. 90,000 people out there Ford Field and he goes “Steve come over here. I’m gonna see if I can get Trump take a stunner. I said, “Aw bull shit”. I said, ” You think he will?” He goes “I know Donald he’ll he’ll do it.” So anyways he goes ‘Donald, Come over here’ and he goes, ‘Steve this is Donald Trump.’ ‘Hey, Mr. Trump. How are you doing?’ And I met him. He goes ‘Listen I was thinking about after everything is all said and done. Steve would hit you with his finished move.’ ‘Well what is it.’ ‘Well it’s called a stunner and it kind of goes like this.’”
That’s when one of Trump’s handlers tried to intervene as clearly he didn’t want to see him get hit by a pro wrestler. But strangely enough, Donald Trump was very enthusiastic about it as he thought it would be good entertainment.
Stone Cold added, “But Donald said, he looked at Vince, and he goes ‘You think it’ll help the show?’ He goes ‘Oh Donald they’ll go crazy.’ So Donald Trump was was man enough to go out there and now we botched it. It was the slickest stunner that I ever delivered but I give him credit. Just from it. Whatever anyone’s opinion is that he did was cool enough and in a Showtime event like that event to go out there and be a part of the show and make people happy. I dug it.”
