The 2013 Hall of Fame class of WWE had one special inductee. It was none other than the business tycoon Donald Trump. The former President of the USA has currently been on the news a lot. Ever since his Mar-a-Lago residence was searched by the FBI, Trump has constantly been the talking point.

Trump has had a special connection with wrestling. He appeared at WrestleMania 23 and went against Vince McMahon in a hair vs hair match. Both McMahon and Trump had WWE superstars representing themselves. While McMahon lost the bout, Trump cemented his legacy in wrestling by shaving Vince McMahon’s hair.

Although Foley and the Hulkster have good ties now, back then Foley stated that Hogan’s words came out as a result of jealousy because Foley’s book was doing good in the market, but Hogan’s wasn’t.
