9 Failed Wrestling Attempts By Non-Wrestlers

8. Drew Carey

Drew Carey frankly has no business being in a wrestling ring, and that's coming from a Drew Carey fan. Carey's a likeable guy who had a great sitcom for a while, and went on to host Whose Line Is It Anyway? which will live on in syndication pretty much until the end of time. Plus there's that whole show where they guess prices and stuff... In any case, Carey has done a lot throughout his career, but the one thing he needn't have bothered with was showing up in the WWE. And facing off against the likes of Kane. And looking foolish doing it. Carey was Vince McMahon's entry in the 2001 Royal Rumble. Yes, the Royal Rumble. Coming to the ring in a track suit, his trademark glasses, and chewing his chewing gum, he got to spend a little bit of time in the ring by himself after the Hardy Boyz eliminated each other, but lasted just seconds once Kane arrived in the ring, followed by Raven (who frankly saved Carey). Carey then eliminated himself and, for this brief appearance, was inducted in the celeb wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. When asked recently if he would make any more WWE appearances, Carey answered "Oh hell no haha. I hate being boo'd".
