5 Wrestlemania appearances you never saw coming

It is the WrestleMania season up and running as California gears up to host the biggest WWE event of the year. We have been heavily speculating the future of Brock Lesnar after he appeared at the recent UFC Pay-per-view and it looks like he will wrestle his last match for sometime at WrestleMania 31.We have seen in the past the result of such news coming out prior to the event with Goldberg and Brock Lesnar 11 years ago. The crowd was dead for the match and it was one of the biggest botches in the history of the company. Hopefully this time, Roman Reigns develops a strong following and some legitimate support in whatever time’s left for Wrestlemania.As we speak of the upcoming event, let’s take a sneak peek into the past to view some of the major surprises at WrestleMania. Here are five surprise appearances at the grandest stage of them all that you never saw coming:

#5 Celebrities rock the WWE Universe at the Grandest Stage of them all

 

How many of us would have actually thought that Kim Kardashian would enter the WWE ring? Certainly not me. Well, she did actually do that as the hostess of WrestleMania XXIV. In an effort to rack up the numbers, the actress who broke the internet last year did step into a WWE ring and made an attempt to cheer up the 74000 strong crowd at the open-air Citrus Bowl In Orlando.

 And she isn’t the only one to make a celebrity appearance out of the blue.  Notable former actor Steve Allen who was an incredible music composer as well, authoring over 50 books and penning over 14,000 songs ranks down as one of the most prolific and inspiring celebrities of the twentieth century. And it should be of great honour that he made a solitary appearance at WrestleMania VI as an interviewer.

It was a minor role relatively yet quite astounding that a man of his prominence was never advertised and took everyone by surprise. Apparently, he broke into television as a wrestling announcer back in 1949 at Los Angeles and that penchant never quite left him. Apart from him, Jenny McCarthy and Pamela Anderson were two other famous women to appear in WWE’s biggest event of the year.

Back in 1995, WrestleMania XI saw Shawn Michaels and Diesel squaring off in the main event for the WWE Championship. While Pamela Anderson’s appearance was announced earlier, her role in the night was unknown prior to the event. And it was quite off-hand to see her accompanying the Champion Diesel while Jenny McCarthy was the valet of Shawn Michaels. Post-match, Jenny left with the victor Diesel and followed that up with an appearance few weeks later.

Jenny McCarthy is an activist and very vocal on issues regarding autism and Vaccination. Back then, her fame was more as a result of her work with Playboy magazine but nevertheless, how many would have fancied seeing her and Pamela Anderson at a WrestleMania main event?
