Donald Trump. WWE wrestling. Made for each other?

Apparently. The Trumpster and WWE mogul Vince McMahon are squaring off tonight on USA cable (8-10 p.m.) in a special Thursday edition of “Monday Night RAW.” (Video preview here.) They’re challenging each other to a “hair match” at the (of course) pay-per-view event WrestleMania 23, April 1 in Detroit.

One of the zillionaire camera hogs is supposed to go home bald when it’s all over. We wouldn’t put it past Trump to rip his hair out at the roots to get “The Apprentice” -- Nielsen’s 83rd ranked show -- back on America’s radar.

At the risk of adding to the current toxic overdose of Trumpism, we have to jump in and mention GSN’s new online Rosie vs. Trump game, where you can choose which of these motormouth annoyers you’d most like to virtually punch out. (Or pummel ’em both.) Be sure to employ such secret weapons as Rosie’s Tongue Lasher and Trump’s Killer Comb-over.

If you’re curious about Trump’s new L.A. “Apprentice,” but not eager to add to his (let’s hope anemic) ratings this time around, you can sneak an online peek of the first 20 minutes of Sunday’s season premiere at NBC.com.

Is that the whiff of desperation coming off the Donald’s well-coiffed head?

Details about the new season of “The Apprentice” were released today by NBC. It’s desperation enough that the show is gonna be set in LA this time (not exactly the Trumpster’s home turf), and reason enough for true-blue New Yorkers to tune out.

But what really grabbed our attention was the “twist” that the winning team will get to spend the night in a “luxurious” mansion (that’s NBC’s description; as opposed to an unfurnished mansion, we’re guessing) while the sad-sack losers will have to camp out in the backyard and use outdoor showers and portable toilets. It’s supposed to motivate the team to do better next week. Sounds to me more like “Survivor: Beverly Hills.”

Was it only three years ago that this was the show everybody was buzzing about?

The fun starts Jan. 7.
