{Spoiler}1: Mike Tyson 2: Arnold Schwarzenegger 3: Donald Trump 4: Mr. T 5: Floyd Mayweather Jr. 6: David Arquette 7: Bob Barker 8: Cyndi Lauper 9: Pete Rose 10: Dennis Rodman It's more "best celebrities in wrestling" than actual real things celebrities did in wrestling. I'd argue 3 and 4 should be above 2, maybe 5 as well, but 1 is definitely right for the role he played in generating the biggest boom period WWE ever had.

2 and 7 are way too high, but there doesn't seem to be anyone really that notable missing.
I would have used Shaq instead of Barker for the guest host spot because the Big Show slam got some good media coverage, but that's about it.

I think Barker was placed just right on the list. Obviously not the biggest celebrity moment in WWE history, but his presence made for one of the best damn episodes of Raw during the Guest Host era.

Not surprised the best celebirty involved with wrestling Andy Kaufman is not on the list, these young kids now don't realise or appreciate what Andy did for wrestling, he was involved with wrestling before it was cool.

Without Cyndi Lauper, the Rock and Wrestling Era quite possibly doesn't happen. She should be 1 or 2 for sure. Tyson, Kaufman and Lauper all have reasonable claims to the top spot, and them in 1-3 in any order is easily defendable

I was actually surprised David Arquette made the list at all, because of negative reactions, which they even touched upon in that segment.

The top three should be Mike Tyson, Mr. T, and Cyndi Lauper. All three played an integral role in helping to build the WWE into the multimedia juggernaut it has become. Tyson gave the WWF true mainstream publicity in the build to WrestleMania XIV, which in turn led to the biggest financial boon in the company's history. Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper were key cogs in creating the Rock 'n Wrestling era, and were also two of the biggest non-wrestling attractions that helped make the first WrestleMania such an overwhelming success.
Outside of those three, the list is open for debate. But without Tyson, Mr. T, and Lauper, the WWE as we know it would not be the same, and potentially would not be in existence if it weren't for their contributions.

I'm starting to believe the reason they don't give Lauper credit is because it takes away from the idea that it was solely Vince that changed the game.

I have absolutely no idea what Arnold Schwarznegger did? Why is he so high.

I love the "Ah f***, I'm going to be photoshopped in a wedding dress, aren't I?" smirk that Ambrose gives at the end there.

Top Ten Celebrity Twists...Other than Kaufman...We don't own enough footage of Andy Kaufman....
Arnold Schwarzenegger is ranked too high.
I suspect LT's recent legal issues kept him off the list, though he was shown in clips to set up the special.

Floyd Mayweather awkwardly telling Big Show he's gonna break his jaw? Still hilarious.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bob Barker are ranked too high.
Cyndi Lauper and Dennis Rodman are ranked too low.
Funny they never mentioned the "Ready 2 Rumble" movie when talking about Arquette.

I remember now, I thought that was pretty forgettable...well it was to be fair, I never saw it as we didn't have SDN in the UK then but I just remember a .com article. Most definitely too high, in fact not even rank able
