WWE: 10 Glorious Uses Of Celebrities At WrestleMania

4. Pete Rose - WrestleMania 14, 15 & 16

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruNVl-VT9yM Pete Rose is most known for being the baseball player that has the most hits in the history of that sport that is well over 100 years old. He's also a man that, despite all his records, is banned from Major League Baseball's Most wrestling fans also know Pete Rose for his ongoing rivalry with WWE Superstar Kane. It started at WrestleMania 14 when Rose was a guest announcer and Kane showed up. It was Kane's first WrestleMania, so maybe he was mad somebody else was there talking to the crowd. How did he take care of it? With a Tombstone to Pete, who had riled up the Boston crowd by ripping on their precious Red Sox. The next year at WrestleMania 15, Rose was dressed as the San Diego Chicken mascot and he went after Kane again. He received another Tombstone. One year later, the San Diego Chicken was back again. It wasn't Pete Rose, though. Instead, Pete tried to attack with a baseball bat. Kane gave Rose a Chokeslam while Rikishi gave him the dreaded Stinkface. Why did Rose come back all the time? "Because I'm a competitor." The Rose/Kane story is a funny one that fans won't ever forget because of how good of a story it was.
