00:00 You know what's better than having wrestlers at WrestleMania?

00:03 Having literally anyone else at WrestleMania.

00:05 Oh, sorry, that was the ad read from last year's WrestleMania.

00:09 Who needs celebrities in our wrestling?

00:11 Only wrestling matches with wrestlers in wrestling tights and wrestling boots and a wrestling

00:15 ring this year.

00:16 Of course, celebrity involvement has been ingrained into the very DNA of WrestleMania

00:20 dating all the way back to the inception of the Colossal Tussle, but that does not mean

00:25 they have all been good.

00:27 Many of the celebrity appearances to take place at WrestleMania have been little of

00:30 note.

00:31 Raven-Symoné says hi to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

00:33 Jonathan Taylor Thomas is a timekeeper.

00:35 Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy as valets.

00:38 Not much to remember them by, but some celebrity moments are so amazing that you can never

00:42 forget about them.

00:43 And well, unfortunately, the opposite is also true.

00:47 I'm Tempest Hailing from PartsFunKnown, and these are the 10 Best and 10 Worst Celebrity

00:51 WrestleMania Moments.

00:52 But before we get on with this list, make sure of course that you like this video, subscribe,

00:56 and enable notifications to always on so you don't miss a single one of the lists that

00:59 we've got in the plethora of WrestleMania content coming your way this month.

01:03 Honorable Mention Mike Tyson

01:05 Mike Tyson squeezes his way onto this list because it would be impossible to talk about

01:09 the greatest contributions celebrities have made to WrestleMania without mentioning Tyson's

01:13 role in making WrestleMania 14 the success it was.

01:16 But he misses because on the actual night, boy is he distracting, annoying, and otherwise

01:20 all around bad.

01:22 Number 10 Worst, Kim Kardashian

01:24 Luke Owen still denies this one ever took place.

01:27 Photographic evidence be damned, Luke Owen is unmoving.

01:30 Regardless of Luke's stubbornness, Kim K did indeed host WrestleMania 24 if you can

01:34 believe it.

01:35 She did nothing of note besides getting yelled at by Mr. Kennedy Kennedy and announce the

01:39 attendance figures, and this wasn't even when she had become the mogul that she would

01:43 go on to become.

01:44 A few years later, this could have been a big deal.

01:47 Here?

01:48 Nah.

01:49 Also, this was the first time I had ever heard of Kim Kardashian.

01:51 I was 11.

01:52 I was innocent.

01:53 Number 10 Best, Snooki

01:55 I don't want to hear it.

01:56 Snooki is a highlight of WrestleMania 27.

01:59 I wouldn't put being a highlight of one of the worst WrestleManias of all time in my

02:02 obituary, but this is also the woman that described herself as a meatball on many occasions,

02:07 so who knows where her priorities lie.

02:09 No matter which way you slice it, no one, when this match was announced, thought that

02:13 Snooki would do a round off back handspring.

02:15 She wasn't the worst on the show, and she wasn't close to being the worst celebrity

02:19 on the show.

02:20 That would be...

02:21 Number 9, Pee-Wee Herman

02:23 I know there is a generation of folks with nostalgia for Pee-Wee Herman, but good God

02:27 almighty is he ever the worst celebrity to grace the screen at WrestleMania 27.

02:32 Thankfully limited to a backstage segment, Mr. Wee Herman riffs with The Rock in some

02:35 of the most PG garbage comedy of the PG era.

02:39 Thankfully it was short, but piss piss Herman can piss off.

02:42 Number 9 Best, Pete Rose

02:45 Pete Rose should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and it is a travesty that he is not.

02:48 I don't care that he bet on games, he is one of the best players in the history of the

02:51 game.

02:52 When American Sports with Tempest is done, as for WrestleMania, Rose is still one of

02:56 the best recurring bits of the Attitude Era, popping up at WrestleMania every year to f***

03:01 with and get thwarted by Kane.

03:03 WrestleMania 14 is the best among them if you want to get granular and hold me to one

03:06 moment, but Rose's run-ins at WrestleManias 15 and 2000 were also Hall of Fame worthy.

03:13 Number 8 Worst, Maria Menounos

03:15 This one feels a bit mean.

03:17 Maria Menounos is a massive wrestling fan.

03:19 She recites the Hard Times promo to Dusty Rhodes at the Hall of Fame, she wears homemade

03:23 Bob Backlund shirts at pay-per-views, and she seems like a lovely woman.

03:27 Her WrestleMania 28 tag match, however, is not f***ing good.

03:31 She breaks her rib during the match, she gets Eve's spray tan on the seat of her white

03:35 pants making it look like she'd s*** herself, and even its best moments are still in a 5

03:39 minute match during the worst era of WWE women's wrestling this side of the millennium.

03:44 Number 8 Best, Lawrence Taylor

03:46 While not the best in-ring performance of a celebrity on this list by any means, I truly

03:50 think Lawrence Taylor should be commended for his performance in the main event of WrestleMania

03:54 11.

03:55 On one hand you have Bam Bam Bigelow pulling off the carry job of a lifetime, but on the

03:59 other LT should get credit for being an incredible athlete, capable of holding his own in the

04:03 biggest match of the year.

04:05 WrestleMania 11 isn't a good WrestleMania by any means, but the main event wasn't too

04:09 bad.

04:10 Number 7 Worst, Aki Bono

04:12 WrestleMania baby, woo!

04:14 When people talk about Big Show's horrible WrestleMania resume, they're talking about

04:18 s*** like this.

04:19 Sorry Big Show, but what was the purpose of this?

04:21 Why did Big Show have a promoted 1 minute sumo match with Aki Bono?

04:26 They spent time on TV building this up, for why?

04:30 I just don't understand.

04:32 Humiliate your own star in a s*** match with Big Show's giant dimply ass pointed right

04:37 at the camera.

04:39 Appalling.

04:40 Number 7 Best, Logan Paul

04:42 While Logan Paul added fairly little to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens grudge match at WrestleMania

04:46 37, he was the featured performer just a year later at WrestleMania 38.

04:50 It feels like a disservice to Logan to put him this low on the list, but what can I say,

04:54 there have been some great Mania moments.

04:56 We did not yet know just how good Logan Paul was going to be at this, but what an introduction

05:00 we got when he beat the Mysterios alongside The Miz.

05:03 It really is annoying that this guy is so good at this, isn't it?

05:07 Number 6 Worst, Michael Shea and Colin Jost

05:10 It is appropriate, I suppose, considering how not funny Saturday Night Live has become,

05:14 that the WrestleMania appearances of these two SNL dudes would be the least funny thing

05:18 WWE did in 2019, and that is f***ing saying something.

05:22 These two walk out with all the charisma of your nan's plastic-covered sofa, hide under

05:26 the ring, then try to turn the Entree the Giant Memorial Battle Royal into a comedy

05:30 angle, getting Braun Strowman to talk to their therapist before getting chucked out.

05:34 No one cares about this Battle Royal, but f*** man, the Hardys were there, Luke Harper,

05:38 Andrade Ali, some f***ing players.

05:41 Nah, give the big spot to the unfunny comedians.

05:45 Number 6 Best, Ronda Rousey

05:47 I'm not going to count Ronda's wrestling career on this list, as she was signed by

05:51 WWE at the time, but her initial appearance at WrestleMania 31?

05:54 That's fair game.

05:55 Was this segment too long?

05:57 Yeah, probably.

05:58 You tell Triple H to hurry it up at WrestleMania and see how effective that is.

06:01 But The Rock enlisting Ronda Rousey, at the time the undefeated biggest draw in all of

06:05 combat sports, to fight Triple H and Stephanie McMahon was electric, complete with a rare

06:10 bit of perfect camera work from WWE, as The Rock slowly revealed his new ally.

06:15 Of course this was before Ronda Rousey was a bit, well, you know, bad.

06:20 But speaking of bad, Number 5 Worst, Gronk

06:23 Rob Gronkowski is the most talented tight end in NFL history.

06:27 It is known.

06:28 That does not, however, translate to pro wrestling.

06:30 A simple run-in marred by a security guard not knowing who Gronk was at the WrestleMania

06:34 33 pre-show?

06:36 Totally fine, totally harmless.

06:38 Gronk's endless escapades and incessant obnoxious dancing at WrestleMania 36?

06:43 Not fine, not harmless.

06:45 Winning the 24/7 championship to launch a wrestling career that never got off the ground

06:48 because wrestling is hard?

06:49 A total waste of time.

06:51 Number 5 Best, Bad Bunny

06:53 Who?

06:54 No, seriously, that will never be funny.

06:56 See this enormous stadium packed to the rafters for a Bad Bunny concert?

07:00 Maybe this means wrestling fans shouldn't be the barometers for everyone's cultural

07:03 significance.

07:04 Anyway, Bad Bunny blew everyone away at WrestleMania 37.

07:08 Sure his Canadian destroyer was really just him holding on for dear life while John Morrison

07:12 did a backflip, but his timing, poise and charisma outmatch a lot of people who have

07:16 done this way longer.

07:18 And then he rode off on a giant truck, and the Miz wouldn't stop talking about him

07:21 for months.

07:23 Number 4 Worst, Mickey Rourke

07:25 This story is so f***ing funny.

07:27 So Mickey Rourke was in a very good, very depressing movie called The Wrestler.

07:30 He was going to wrestle Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 25, but announced that on the red carpet way

07:34 too early, causing his PR team to panic because being involved with the lowbrow nonsense of

07:39 WWE would hurt his chances of winning the Oscar, and had him pull out of the match.

07:44 Then Jericho did an in-character interview on Larry King, convincing Rourke there was

07:48 heat so when Rourke showed up at WrestleMania, he brought Frank Shamrock as backup in case

07:54 things got ugly.

07:55 Rourke did a horrible post-match run-in following Jericho's win over the Old Folks Home and

07:59 threw an awful punch.

08:00 Rourke and Jericho blew off all the heat backstage when Jericho revealed he was not in fact shooting

08:05 on Rourke in the interview, but imagine the match they would have had.

08:08 Number 4 Best, Jackass

08:11 If it were Luke's list, this would be at number 1.

08:13 As it stands, it probably should still be number 1, but unfortunately there are a few

08:17 that beat it out through sheer historical significance.

08:20 WrestleMania 38 was the celebrity match mania, and people were not exactly down with that

08:24 idea going in, but then they were gifted with the wrestling masterpiece that was Sami Zayn

08:28 vs. Johnny Knoxville.

08:30 What is there to say about this match?

08:32 There's a giant hand, a giant mouse trap, a wee man hitting a giant slam.

08:36 It's a perfect match.

08:39 Where you can find Omega Okada 4 as the perfect wrestling match, this right here is a perfect

08:44 comedy match.

08:45 Number 3 Worst, Machine Gun Kelly

08:47 We've tried to exclude musical performances here today, that's a topic for another day,

08:52 but this one transcends music.

08:54 After all the effort WWE made to make John Cena appear on the same tier as The Rock in

08:58 the lead up to WrestleMania 28, this was the performance they gave for Cena's entrance.

09:04 The performance itself was whatever, it is Machine Gun Kelly after all, it's the WrestleMania

09:08 28 theme, who cares, but it was the entire hype man promo MGK gave, calling The Rock

09:14 one of the biggest egos in the business and saying he will fall to one of the biggest

09:18 underdogs.

09:19 John Cena, an underdog, in 2012.

09:22 There's no chance Cena wasn't getting booed walking into The Rock's home territory

09:26 of Miami, but this performance guaranteed it.

09:30 Number 3 Best, Floyd Mayweather

09:32 For many people, the measuring stick for celebrity wrestling matches is Floyd Mayweather's

09:37 boxer vs wrestler match with The Big Show.

09:39 WrestleMania baby, woo!

09:41 Whereas the Akebono match was a complete and utter waste of time, this match at WrestleMania

09:46 24 was one of the biggest highlights of the show.

09:49 Big Show ends up a babyface in spite of WWE somehow thinking that Floyd, one of the biggest

09:54 natural heels in all of show business, was going to be cheered in this match.

09:58 Floyd bumps for Big Show, sells incredibly well, carries himself like a star, and finally

10:02 knocks Big Show out with brass knucks after a very well paced filled with smoke and mirrors

10:07 match and also look it's Michael Tarver from the Nexus.

10:10 Number 2 Worst, Butterbean

10:12 Some of the entries on this list could be classified as a waste of time, Akebono says

10:16 hello, but at the very least, it is merely a waste of a segment and perhaps the time

10:20 it took to build the match.

10:22 Butterbean's boxing match at WrestleMania 15 is not only a waste of time on an all-time

10:26 wretched Wrestlemania, but it also serves as the culmination for one of the biggest

10:30 wastes of time in WWE history with the Brawl for All, Vince Russo's brain-dead idea to

10:35 have the fake wrestlers do real fights to prove that JBL wasn't tough.

10:39 It is one of the worst ideas in WWE, climaxing with a worthless boxing match that killed

10:44 Bart Gunn dead.

10:46 Shoutout to Butterbean, it wasn't his fault.

10:49 Number 2 Best, Donald Trump

10:50 UGHHH!

10:54 The words "best" and "Donald Trump" mesh together like caviar and horse sh*t, but unfortunately,

10:59 WrestleMania 23 was very successful.

11:01 Assholes, having a successful show.

11:04 The interest in the hair vs hair match between Trump and Vince McMahon with Bobby Lashley

11:08 and Umaga playing the role of the action figures the two billionaires were smashing together

11:12 was through the roof, resulting in the biggest buy rate in WWE history to that point.

11:17 It was a hell of an angle, a hell of a payoff, and a hell of an awful stunner.

11:21 The absolute state of that, dear God, had to end on a negative note because, you know,

11:27 Trump.

11:28 Number 1 Worst, Mr. T

11:30 Mr. T was instrumental in the success of WrestleMania 1, but when the time came for the sequel a

11:35 year later, boy did that success not translate.

11:38 Of course, one was a tag team match with three of the industry's biggest stars in the main

11:41 event of the most important wrestling show in history, and then there's this.

11:45 An honest to God, minus 5 star worked boxing match with Roddy Piper.

11:51 This is appallingly bad.

11:53 Any time wrestlers try to do a worked fight, whether it be boxing or MMA or whatever, it

11:58 never goes well, and this one is not short, it is not entertaining, and it ends with a

12:03 stupid f*cking DQ when Piper just gets bored and body slams T.

12:08 Not enough people name WrestleMania 2 as the worst Wrestlemania ever, but I assure you

12:12 anyone unlucky enough to be in the New York third of this God forsaken show could tell

12:16 you horror stories about how bad this show and this match were.

12:20 But thankfully for Mr. T, he also had, Number 1 Best, Mr. T.

12:25 The Success of WrestleMania 1 to Fall Back On

12:28 WrestleMania 1 is the most important wrestling show ever, and there could be a whole list

12:32 filled with just the celebrity appearances from that show.

12:35 Cindy Lauper, Liberace, Muhammad Ali, and Billy Martin prior to his fourth of five stints

12:40 as New York Yankees manager all brought in more eyes to the show, but Mr. T's involvement

12:45 in the WrestleMania 1 main event was the big one.

12:48 Hulk Hogan, the face of wrestling, teaming up with Mr. T, an actual mainstream megastar,

12:54 is a level of celebrity involvement that has not been achieved with this level of success

12:58 since.

12:59 And the match itself is fine.

13:01 Considering this is 1985, this could be way worse.

13:04 Imagine if we lived in the alternate timeline where Mr. T actually did pull out of this

13:09 match because he thought the others were going to shoot on him.

13:12 Which nearly happened.

13:13 Would we have WrestleMania as we know it today?

13:16 Maybe not.

13:17 And I pity the timeline that doesn't have WrestleMania.

13:19 And that's our list.
