“CUE AL SNOW!” – Me

But the show begins with Vince coming in with a barber pole right in the middle of the ring.
“I thought they were bringing back Brutus” – Mike
“ME TOO!” – Me

Vince standing in the ring with a full barber set-up. He announces that Wrestlemania – his rep is going to defeat Donald’s and then he’s going to beat the hell out of Donald himself.

He is looking for when Donald is begging for him not to beat him. Not to destroy him.

Vince now shows Britney’s before picture. Then after.
“She kinda looks like Kevin Federline now.” – Me

He claims that Donald will look grotesque without hair. We then get a photoshop job of what he would look like with a bald look, a mohawk, a crew-cut, dreadlocks.
“I don’t think Vince is this good of a hairstylist” – Me
“I don’t understand how Vince will make his hair longer.” – Bill

Oh and then he cracks a Hogan joke. Brother brother brother.

Umaga throws Jeff into the ring – he eats a boot – some headbutts – stomps – same barrel of tricks.
“I like that they give Umaga longer matches now..” – Mike
