WWE WrestleMania Mixtape: Booking The Perfect ’Mania

6. Best Celebrity

Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Mike Tyson
WWE.com

Percentage Of Votes: 51.5%.

Other Choices: Floyd Mayweather ('Mania XXIV - 21%), Donald Trump ('Mania 23 - 14.4%), Mr. T ('Mania I - 13.1%).

Celebrities and WrestleMania have always gone hand-in-hand. Melding crossover mainstream appeal with his roster was a Vince McMahon masterstroke, and it continues to this day. He (and WWE) rarely nailed it better than they did in the lead-up to and at 'Mania XIV.

Mike Tyson was money.

That's why he nabbed 51.5% of the votes and left everyone from Floyd Mayweather and Donald Trump to Hulk Hogan's tag partner Mr. T out in the cold. Tyson's shoving match with Austin on Raw was era-defining, and so was his knock out punch on HBK at the event itself.
