It was a bit of a hokey build to WrestleMania 9 in Las Vegas by having actors dressed as Julius Caesar and Cleopatra address the Rumble crowd. I get that 'Mania was going to be held at "Caesar's Palace", but all of the rigmarole of Caesar and an entourage of Roman Empire acolytes lent too much of a cartoon flair to the proceedings.

When Caesar and his crew made their way to the ring, one of the centurions looked familiar. Indeed, playing the role of a Roman officer was none other than Louie Spicolli, an occasional WWE enhancement talent that made his bones in various promotions, notably AAA in Mexico.

Spicolli would be upgraded to a roster regular in 1995 as grunge-loving Rad Radford, though it was a rather brief run.
