Worst WM Celebrity Involvement?

By Scott Keith on 5 March 2019

Tis the season!

Vince has always been a bit of a starfucker (whether or not the people he uses are actually "stars") when it comes to WrestleMania. What would you consider the worst use of outside celebrities when it comes to the history of the show?

While 'Mania XI has the embarrassing glut of C-listers who were willing to pick up the phone, to the point where it comes off as pathetic and needy, my vote solidly goes towards WrestleMania 2. The random "celebrities" at ringside are bad enough (The "Where's the Beef?" Lady! G. Gordon Liddy! He went to jail! Cool, right kids?!?) but the inane celebrity broadcasters at ALL THREE VENUES make me want to shove an icepick in my ear. I almost pine for the dulcet tones of "Not Vince McMahon."

Almost.

Yes, 2 is pretty egregious in the "throw random celebs out there in ridiculous roles" area and I'd have a hard time topping anything presented there, especially Susan St. James on color commentary.
