There have been many celebrity crossovers into Professional Wrestling over the years. Some were great. Some sucked. What was your favorite?

I'd have to say Rodman coming over to the NWO. I didn't care for the guy at the time but he fit the script so well. Plus, he come over and wrestled during the NBA finals which was a big deal. Then they built it up the the match with Hogan and Rodman vs DDP and Carl Malone (who sucked in the ring and couldn't even make the Diamond Cutter symbol correctly). Did interviews on late night TV.
 
how about the one one who actually WON the BIG GOLD belt... David Arquette!
 
When Piper did that softcore porn...
 
Pete Rose
Robocop
Andy Kaufman


I know we crap all over the Robocop thing but I think it was a big deal back in the day. He was an action star. It would be like having the Rock on a wrestling program today.
 
That guy from arrow was pretty good. I was expecting that to be a total shit show and I think it turned out as best they could hope for.

I was hoping Barret would get that tag match against Rooney he was pushing for. The idea of Kevin fucking Davies at wrestlemania makes me laugh. When I heard that Vince apparently nixed it because he didn't think Rooney was that popular really blew my mind.

From a match quality perspective I would go with Stephen Amell
 
Andy Kaufmans run against Jerry Lawler in Memphis is the best by far
He did some of the best promos of all time, has one of the most memorable moments in tv history on David Lettermans show and refused to take off a kayfabe neckbrace for weeks even if it interfered with his television work schedule whuch pissed off his bosses to no end
Kaufman is king

Yeah, I almost think of Kaufman as a legit worker. Grouping him with these guys who worked one of two times isn't a fair comparison. But yeah, if we're counting Kaufmam in the "celebrity" group, he's easily the GOAT.
