Mar. 28--Donald Trump insists his Detroit fate could really be a bald pate.

If Umaga loses, Trump shaves McMahon's head. If Lashley loses, McMahon cuts off Trump's coif.

While flying over North Carolina on his private plane Tuesday, Trump, a longtime WWE fan, called the Free Press to talk about his hair.

QUESTION: Are we really supposed to believe you might shave the hallmark that is your hair? A lot of people are skeptical.

ANSWER: They're skeptical that Vince will shave his hair, also. If my wrestler loses, I will have no choice but to shave my hair.

Q: What's the closest you've ever come to a shaved head?

A: When I was in the military, I had a very tight crew cut and a flat top.

Q: How did this whole thing come about?

A: It came about by Vince asking me to do this. The reason I'm doing this is that No. 1, by nature I'm very competitive, and No. 2, a lot of money is going to my charities.

Q: From the WWE?

A: From the WWE. Millions of dollars.

Q: What's the appeal of the WWE for you?

A: It's a fantastic group of athletes with unbelievable strength, unbelievable talent. I've always watched it....I never knew I'd be a participant.

Q: If you could be any wrestler, who would you be?

A: I'll pick the best looking one. I'm not necessarily the strongest one.
