A new series on Spike TV promises to air the entire dirty laundry that casino moguls Steve Wynn and Donald Trump have accumulated over time of their ongoing feud.

The limited event series on Spike TV may be called "Mean and Nasty" and promises exactly that, as Wynn and Trump was notorious for a few of their public spats and potshots they've taken at each other over the years.

Things have quieted down somewhat recently within the Wynn-Trump feud -- Trump was even a guest at Wynn's wedding in 2011 -- however the two were bitter rivals within the early days of bringing casinos to Atlantic City once they battled for control of what on the time was a lucrative gambling market.

Trump styled himself because the casino king of AC and didn't take kindly to Wynn invading his space when Wynn sunk billions into what would eventually becoming the Borgata. They battled it out within the courts as Trump filed numerous lawsuits to check out to dam Wynn's development efforts, including an antitrust suit and other allegations.

But the battle was way more personal outside of the courtroom, with each lobbing verbal assaults at one another. Trump went on record calling Wynn a "disturbed person" while Wynn fired back that he considered the Donald to be a "second-string adolescent" and a "cartoon".

The low point (or high point, dependent on how much you enjoy celebrity drama) came when Trump and Marla Maples (who he'd later marry but on the time was his girlfriend) had a spat and Maples took off for Vegas, where Wynn was more than pleased to rub it in his rivals face by welcoming Maples to stick on the Mirage in a high-roller suite.

The Atlantic City market has struggled mightily lately as gamblers migrated to new casinos in neighboring states similar to Pennsylvania -- one possible reason that Wynn and Trump managed to fix some fences as reality sank in that they were not potentially feuding over billions of bucks in potential profits.
