10 Most Godawful Celebrity Cameos In Wrestling History

There are still a handful of wrestling fans who will defend Jay Leno's participation in the main event of Road Wild 1998, on the grounds that he barely spent any time in the ring and left the majority of the actual competition to his tag partner and legitimate wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page.

That, with all due respect, is a bulls**t analysis. It would be one thing if he was kept firmly at ringside for the duration, acting as a glorified manager or something of the like, but he didn't do that. He mixed it up with both Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan, and was made to look like a legitimate threat the whole way through.

All it took was Leno applying a wrist-lock to the 300 pound wrestling legend - and Hogan selling it like it was the most physical pain he'd experienced since seeing the box office numbers for Mr. Nanny - to officially break fans' willing suspension of disbelief. And it would take a good long time to repair it.

Let him get a few well-placed punches in on Bischoff if you want, but don't put him in the same ring with Hogan. And definitely don't make it the main event.

Oddly enough, the talk show host's sidekick, Kevin Eubanks, came in and delivered a Diamond Cutter that almost made up for the whole fiasco. Almost.
