A long time ago, there was WrestleMania. The event was not the first Pay Per View in wrestling history, but it certainly was the biggest.

Held at the height of the Rock and Wrestling connection, the event was hyped up beyond belief, not just in the world of wrestling but in the mainstream media outlets as well.

One man can be thanked for so much interest; Mr. T. The 1980s icon was hugely popular, starring in films like Rocky III opposite Sylvester Stallone and acting as BA Barrackus in the popular A Team television program.

Mr. T was not a trained wrestler, so he was paired with Hogan in a tag team match against Roddy Piper and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff.

Because Mr. T wasn't trained, the heels mostly immobilized the television star with genuine wrestling holds. Mr. T rankled at the treatment, but his appearance definitely generated a ton of interest not just in WrestleMania but all of pro wrestling as well, raising its status in the eyes of the masses.

There you have it; the Ten best celebrity appearances in WWE history. Questions or comments? Please leave them after the article, and as always thanks for reading!
