Since Jackass first launched in 2000, Johnny Knoxville has been famed for doing insane sh*t to his and other people's bodies. Even now, at 51 years of age, Knoxville is still up to the same crazy antics, as highlighted by the release of Jackass Forever earlier this year.

Sure, having Johnny Knoxville involved in WrestleMania 38 certainly ticks the ever-important celebrity box for WWE, but with his involvement there also comes a sense of expectancy. That expectancy? It's quite simply to see some bonkers, wince-inducing action take place.

With Knoxville taking on Sami Zayn in an Anything Goes contest this weekend, that means that all bets are off as to what dumb BS Johnny will get up to against the former Intercontinental Champion.

In reality, Sami is far too good to be anywhere near a gimmicky, celebrity plunder match at the Granddaddy of Them All. Being in such a spot does have its perks, with the mainstream media coverage of Knoxville's participation putting Zayn's name out there to those who may not be familiar with him. The Voice of the Voiceless is also an exceptional worker who will do whatever he can to keep his novice opponent safe.

WrestleMania has seen some nuts sh*t over the years, and now we all hold our breath to see what boneheaded bumps Johnny Knoxville has up his sleeve.
