WWE's Vince McMahon named as a sports leader US President Donald Trump intends to speak with soon

One of the issues pondered by the world's population over the course of the last month or so has been when we'll be able to watch professional sports once again. While not really giving us much indication on that exact timeframe, US President Donald Trump did inform those watching today's regular coronavirus briefing that he did intend to speak to a number of individuals involved in the sports world.

These figures, including UFC President Dana White, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and other executives from professional football (the American and standard varieties), golf, and baseball.

Among the names listed that Trump intends to call was the WWE Chairman himself, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

The President and The Chairman have a history that goes back quite a while, including a "Battle of the Billionaires" at WrestleMania 23 that saw McMahon get his head shaved by Trump himself. The Donald, to his credit, also took a Stone Cold Stunner from that match's special guest referee Steve Austin to the delight of the crowd.

In the political realm, Vince's wife Linda was previously Trump's pick to head up the US's Small Business Administration. Linda, however, left the position last year in order to spend more time in an effort to help Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.
