7. Cyndi Lauper - WrestleMania 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g45uUThofik Cyndi Lauper's involvement in WWE was more than just her appearance at WrestleMania 1 in the corner of Wendi Richter. She was a part of WWE for a year before that and WWE manager Captain Lou Albano was in her famous "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" music video too. Lauper's music career was at its absolute hottest when WWE brought her in. That's why the timing of when they use the celebrities is so important. If you bring somebody in that was relevant 20 years earlier than people are just going to groan about it. When you bring them in at a time when they are really famous then the company benefits from their involvement. Lauper's involvement at WrestleMania 1 saw her supporting Richter, who won the Women's Title from Leilani Kai. Give Lauper credit. She fit into WWE well. She learned as much as she could and she did a great job in doing so.
