Dog the Bounty Hunter’s brief return to relevance reminded me that I was certain he was going to show up on RAW one week during the guest host phase. He just seems tailor made for the carny world of Vince McMahon. But are there any other oddball celebrities you excepted to show up in wrestling st sone point that never happened?

I am surprised the partners from Law Order SVU didn't appear. It would've been fun if Officer Benson had arrested Orton!

I'm surprised that more stand-up comedians havent had much involvement with wrestling. You'd think their quick wit would fit in the crazy world of pro wrestling. Sure there have been a few, but rarely any of the huge names.

Dustin Diamond. He was a big wrestling fan and doing the rounds on every reality tv show at the time.

I'm surprised Burt Reynolds didn't get more involved or even Mike Tyson. I would think someone like Tyson who obviously loved/loves wrestling shouldn't have to hold out for a massive pay day to be involved. Also Burt was a huge fan from many accounts, it's just surprising his only involvement was a brief PPV appearance.

I was genuinely surprised Insane Clown Posse didn't make an appearance during the guest host era. Big wrestling fans, personal history to nod back to with the Oddities, ability to perform and lots of fun personalities to recreate a one night only Oddities stable with.

Weren’t they doing stuff in TNA at that time? |

I want them to pop up in AEW in some capacity, probably as a one-off, just so they could have ECW, WWF/WWE, WCW, TNA, ROH, and and AEW on their resume. Like, they've been everywhere, including being successful promoters of their own right. Not too shabby. |

Corey Feldman, either in the early '90s or anytime between, say, 2005 and 2014 -- especially during the guest host era. Wrestling would be just the sort of place you'd expect him to show up to promote his awful music projects. Vince would know the name from the '80s but fail to realize he was no longer an A-lister. I could see him doing Jason Hervey-style appearances where he's part of a dumb angle with a a manager, or trying to recruit some of the Divas to be "Corey's Angels."

I forget who said it, but I think one was Bret and which he said I don’t recall, said Burt hated his appearance and couldn’t wait to leave and then someone else said he was awesome and loved every second of it. |

I heard a story about him kissing Freddie Blassie's ring (couldn't be a HOF ring based on timing) and there is a picture, I think google images of Burt kneeling or bowing to Blassie. And also a very cool story was Mick Foley posting a photo after Burt's passing of both of them, Bischoff and Flair. It was a comic con and Mick went up to Burt, thinking Burt wouldn't know him, Burt said he watched him all the time. Then Flair "wooooed" and got into the mix, then Bischoff went over and they all took a picture. |

for how much Bob Dylan puts over wrestling in his book, and how he credits Gorgeous George for being the first celeb to compliment him while playing live and making him feel he really had something, im surprised no promotion has been able to land Dylan doing something on the program.
Also im amazed Pete Weber wasnt scooped up during the guest host era, dude is still a huge fan.

Wwe RAW magazine showed a pic of him. |

I think it was Bruce Prichard who said that Burt came off a little standoffish at first because he was mugged a few days prior to WrestleMania (Hence why Burt's hand was in a cast) but warmed up a bit once the show drew near. |
