McMahon warms up shears on Eugene

W WE Chairman Vince McMahon got the chance to try out his clippers on WWE's "Raw" Monday night, shaving the head of WWE star Eugene.

"This is gonna happen to you, Donald Trump!" McMahon screamed into his microphone, as Umaga -- McMahon's representative in his hair vs. hair "Battle of the Billionaires" match against Trump at WrestleMania 23 (ECW Champ Bobby Lashley will stand in for Trump) -- strapped Eugene into a barber chair.

McMahon laughed maniacally as he shaved the head of Eugene, and later threatened to shave the head of everybody in the arena and everyone who's ever booed him.

Earlier in the evening, Lashley became the first man in more than two years to break WWE star Chris Masters' sleeper hold maneuver, known as "The Master Lock."

Lashley was greeted backstage by McMahon.

McMahon later announced he'll face Lashley on next week's "Raw," which will also feature WrestleMania foes John Cena and Shawn Michaels teaming up against another set of WrestleMania rivals, Batista and the Undertaker.

WrestleMania 23 takes place April 1 at Ford Field, and more than 65,000 tickets have been sold to the event.

According to the WWE, tickets have been sold in all 50 states and in 22 countries outside the U.S.
