Ok this list is pretty funny. However. Billy Martin is obscure? This is the same guy who managed the Yankees to 2 World Series championships. The guy who was legendary for his arguments with umpires. He was also famous for getting into fistfights and bar brawls. Also his public feuds with George Steinbrenner were well known.
I'm not a Yankees fan or anything, but I wouldnt count Billy Martin as obscure...at least not as obscure as some other people who have appeared at Wrestlemania.
Rhonda Shear. Hosting a late night movie show on cable isnt what you'd call an A-list celebrity. She was obscure DURING her appearence
Darryl Dawkins. Broke a couple of backboards in the NBA, didnt do anything else. This guy didnt get 15 minutes of fame, more like 7 and a half.
Cathy Lee Crosby. All this woman ever did that was of any note was "Thats Incredible". and that ended two years BEFORE WM 2.
Vinny Pazienza. This guy was famous for being a boxer who broke his neck in a car wreck, and made a comeback that got him some national fame for a short time. This guy is well known in boxing, but when is the last time you heard his name?
Lists are like that though, they are meant to be debated. I'm just saying my peace here.

Donnie Wahlberg had been not-so-famous for a year or two before showing up at ... WM X I think it was.
The funnier part was that the New Kids on the Block were trying to make a "comeback," but in order to do so felt as though they had to shorten their name to NKOTB. HA!
Also, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
And I had never heard of Jenny McCarthy before her WrestleMania appearance, and had barely heard of Pamela Anderson at the time.

I wouldn't say that Donnie Wahlberg was "not-so famous" at the time of his appearance. It was more like "incredibly unpopular." I always wondered how the company could be so out-of-touch that they would think that anyone would want to see Donnie Wahlberg.
And I know that Burt Reynolds is certainly not obscure, but I think that something needs to be said about his terrible work as a guest ring announcer. "And THIS MATCH, scheduled for ONE FALL is mumblemumblemumblemumblemumblemumble." Seriously, you'd think a professional actor would be able to do a much better job of delivering his lines than that. What the hell happened?
And two people who don't get the Wrestlemania credit that they deserve are Bucky and Vinny. Don't remember them? Hell, if it hadn't been for the WWF, I never would have even heard of them. Their thing was that that they used to drive taxis. This somehow qualified them to review movies, so they had a show on which former cab drivers reviewed movies. Naturally, Vince McMahon thought, "What am I thinking? How can I make it through the biggest wrestling event of the year like this? I don't have any former cab drivers, and I don't have any movie reviewers!" Fortunately for all of us, someone tipped McMahon off to this wonderful 2-in-1 deal. They were billed as guest celebrities, but all we got were a couple of clips of them in taxis reviewing wrestlers for a couple of weeks before Wrestlemania. I don't think Vince even gave them tickets to the event, but they sure made my Wrestlemania experience complete.

The Miller Lite Catfight Girls. The messed up part is. As I was writing my list of people, I happened to be watching WM 19, and I forgot about those 2 worthless women even then. A very worthy entry indeed. |

I didn't think Gennifer Flowers was that obscure, it was the year of the Clinton Intern Scandals. Ah, the things that man could get away with.

Just because you didn't hear of Jenny and Pam doesn't make them obscure...or less hot. Watching them just made me realize how sad it is that Jenny is considered more funny than hot now. She used to be really sexy. |

That weird crying kid with the turban looking thing on at Wrestlemania 7. Who the H*LL is that? The camera was on him at one point during the coming together of Macho Man and Elizabeth. My mom said she remembered him but she could have been thinking of someone else.  |

Jonathan Taylor Thomas wasn't obscure. I mean yeah I hated him, but he sure wasn't obscure in 1995.

"Jonathan Taylor Thomas wasn't obscure. I mean yeah I hated him, but he sure wasn't obscure in 1995."
Heck no he wasn't. He was young then an a popular child star. He made his way on to Wrestlemania 11 and played chess Bob Backlund in one of the worst segments I have ever seen.
"Check and mate Mr.Backlund."
Then Bob Backlund goes into his rant about kids think they know it all. He asks young Jonathan a bunch of questions and of course he knows the answers making Bob Backlund look like the stupid goof of the whole thing.
Terrible.
