Arnold Schwarzenegger is no stranger to the WWE or WWE fans. In fact, Schwarzenegger has appeared numerous times on WWE programming. Back in November of 1999, WWE and Vince McMahon decided to bring him to SmackDown, and honour him with a championship. Vince then crowned Arnold as the official Box Office Champion.

Later in the evening, Arnold joined the commentary team, as D-Generation X faced the team of Test, Shane McMahon, Kane and The Rock, with Steve Austin as the guest enforcer. Towards the end of the bout, Arnie handed a chair to Austin, and The Rattlesnake proceeded to take Triple H out with a chair shot! Test covered Triple H to pick up the victory for his team.

Post match, The Game tried to take Arnold out with a cheap shot, but ‘The Governator’ took the WWE Champion out! The episode drew an impressive 5.1 rating, proving Arnold’s enormous appeal.
