McMahon deeply involved. Dont forget it was Clintons DOJ that brought charges against Vince in the mid 90's. They tried taking him out years ago. Wrestlemania 4 & 5 took place at Trump Plaza. Hulk Hogan = say your prayers, eat your vitamins America # 1. Patriotized an entire generation of young boys.
Then a decade later we get the Austin/McMahon fued, which is Trump vs. The World in a microcosm. Attitude Era WWE = part of a major shift in our culture. It allowed swearing and vulgarity to become acceptable which enabled someone like Trump to do what he does, say what he says and get away with it. He was not a saint by any means and needed that cultural shift in order to rise to where he is now.
Watch 'Beyond the Mat' Vince openly talks about how they make movies. It is all here. Oh and dont forget Vince took down the NWO via WCW in 2001.
