CHUCK TODD:\u00a0Let me tell you, you bring up Thursday night, I’ve got to ask you about your entrance. Before we get to Thursday, that Monday night entrance was something else. I know you’ve gotten a lot of feedback on it.<\/p>\n
DONALD TRUMP:\u00a0I think I’m a little bit lucky, and a couple of people had that idea and I went along with the idea. And everything just worked right. And it was so good that they wanted to do it on Thursday night. I said, “Never in a million years, because you’ll never get it that way again.”<\/p>\n
CHUCK TODD:\u00a0I don’t think I’ve seen that even on WWE<\/em>.<\/p>\n DONALD TRUMP:\u00a0Yeah, I know. Well, Vincent’s a good friend of mine. He called me, he said, “That was a very, very good entrance.” But I didn’t want to do it a second time, because, you know, it never works out the second time.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Trump was inducted into the celebrity wing of WWE’s Hall of Fame three years ago surrounding WrestleMania 29 in New York\/New Jersey and has a long history with the McMahons and WWE.<\/p>\n WWE also has a working relationship with NBC Universal, mainly for WWE Raw and Smackdown programming on USA Network.
