10 Worst Times Celebrities Got Physical In Wrestling
9. Mike Tyson Fights His Shirt. Shirt Wins.
Before continuing, it needs to be said: Mike Tyson is one of the few WWE Celebrity Hall of Fame inductees worthy of the honour. His pull-apart brawl with Steve Austin remains the standard by which all other celebrity involvement in pro wrestling is measured, and nothing since has come close to toppling it.
So you can see what AEW were hoping for when they hired Tyson to square off against Chris Jericho's Inner Circle. Unfortunately, the fates conspired to make this less a Clash of the Titans than a Duel of the Dunces.
As you can see in the accompanying gif, Iron Mike suffered a wardrobe clash that turned money-making drama into seat-emptying slapstick. Watching Mike pose afterwards, with his partially-ripped shirt flapping under his arms like a home-made Batman cowl, was cringingly awkward and completely stole the spotlight from the ensuing brawl.
Tyson himself seemed to recognise his AEW future lay in tatters (unlike his shirt) and skipped out of the programme to focus on his boxing comeback, which was considerably more successful.
