I believe Mary Tyler Moore had a home in Canada in the early 1990s. Bruce Prichard told a good story where she asked Bobby Heenan backstage if she could get the Barbarian's entrance gear though Bruce didn't know why. Mary was an anti-fur activist so she probably wanted to trash the Barbarian's ring gear.

Al Sharpton, from what I recall he did his segment at the beginning and left right afterwards.

Mancow Muller once had a PPV match in WCW in 2000 and that's now a thing you remember.

John Wayne Bobbitt probably wins by an inch. In all fairness, at least he was relevant in regards to the story content.

If we're mentioning Bobbit, might as well also bring up Divine Brown (that "lady of the evening" that Hugh Grant got caught with) in ECW. Talk about random.

Surprised it took so long for someone to ask how much this guy weighs?

For how legendary it ended up being, Andy Kaufman was a damn odd choice at first thought.
Also, Jared from Subway and that's not even including the pedophile stuff after the fact.

Wasn't Subway a sponsor? It kind of makes sense, but yeah, Jared didn't need to do anything. What about Sy Sperling at Wrestlemania X? Just to give Finkel a toupee?

That reminds me - Crackhead Bob and Hank the Angry Dwarf as part of the original heel Oddities.

I would probably say Buzz Aldrin when he hosted Raw in 2010. That was weird, that raw was in Canada. That crowd have no shits about poor buzz

Grumpy Cat. How were the wrestlers supposed to interact in any meaningful way?

Tiny Tim doing an angle with Jerry Lawler back in 1993 has to be pretty up there, yeah WWE had obviously used musicians before in angles but they catered towards the hip young demographics they were chasing after, whereas Tiny Tim not so much. It wasn't even his first time in WWF. He appeared on SNME on the episode where Uncle Elmer got married.

The Muppets were a pretty out there choice of guest host for Raw. Though it did lead to some entertaining segments and interactions with the wrestlers.

How about NWA-TNA having some second rate NASCAR drivers on its FIRST ever show to start a feud with soon-to-be main event heel Ron Killings?
Or the schlub actor (during the horrific Raw guest host era that is best left forgotten) excitedly setting up a match for "Summer Fest"?
Finally, out of context this is one makes zero sense: Jazz guitarist and band leader Kevin Eubanks giving Eric Bischoff a Diamond Cutter to help his buddy win a WCW PPV match!!

Hollywood make-up and FX artist (and sometimes actor) Tom Savini blaming Lawler for Kaufman's death and seeking revenge. I'd post the video, but it seems to have disappeared from YT.

I'm pretty sure none of these actually top Gloria Steinem showing up on the War to Settle the Score special to cut a promo on Roddy Piper, talking about how he doesn't deserve to wear a skirt and how he'll pay for kicking Cyndi Lauper.
