WrestleMania Celebrities - All the Celebrities to Appear at WrestleMania

By Eric Cohen, About.com

One of the attractions of WrestleMania has been the addition of some of the biggest stars in the world. It has even been argued that having Mike Tyson appear at WrestleMania XIV was the turning point of the Monday Night War. In addition to the celebrities listed here, there have been many famous people to sit at ringside. The only person from that group that I am including in this list is Donald Trump because he was the host of two of the WrestleMania events.
