WWE: 10 Glorious Uses Of Celebrities At WrestleMania

8. Bob Uecker - WrestleMania 3 & 4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMFqdMNbMSo Bob Uecker wasn't a great baseball player. He was a backup for most of his career. Where he gained his fame was as an announcer. He even played an announcer in one of my favorite sports movies ever in Major League. Uecker had a presence in WWE at WrestleMania 3 and 4. They used him as a backstage interviewer and had him sit in the commentary booth too. The best Uecker took place at WrestleMania 4 when he had to interview Andre the Giant. Andre was talking about how he was paid to keep Hogan out of the World Title tournament. Uecker tried to talk, but Andre cut him off and told him to not worry about Vanna White, who Uecker was looking for. Andre: "Hulkamania is over!" Then he laughed like a madman. Uecker: "How about getting your foot off my shoulder?" Funny because it was Andre's hand there, but his hand is so big that the joke worked. Then Andre choked him while Uecker made this really funny face. Andre just left. It was one of those really silly moments that Uecker made fun. Plus, I have a soft spot for anything that Andre did. I know people get mad at WWE for inducting celebrities into their Hall of Fame, but when Uecker was inducted in 2010 it was justified because he really did belong in WWE. He was a natural at it.
