Why did Vince McMahon wear a durag in 2007 on WWE television?
At WrestleMania 23, the WWE chairman was involved in a feud with Donald Trump. Both of them had their representatives, who competed in a Hair vs. Hair match. The person whose representative lost would have his head shaved bald.
Unfortunately for Vince, his representative, Umaga, lost against Donald Trump’s representative, Bobby Lashley.
