Not that I consider Snooki a big celeb, but traditionally, Wrestlemania has drawn celebs since it's start. Appearing at one isn't being desperate for a job.

Celebrity involvement
Main article: List of celebrities involved with WrestleMania
Over the years, WrestleMania has featured many celebrity appearances with varying levels of involvement. The main event of the first WrestleMania showcased numerous celebrities along with the wrestlers. Billy Martin served as ring announcer with Liberace as timekeeper, and Muhammad Ali served as an official. Mr. T competed in the main event alongside tag team partner, Hulk Hogan. WrestleMania 2 featured a 20-man battle royal pitting several NFL players against WWF wrestlers, while Lawrence Taylor faced Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania XI. Mike Tyson appeared at WrestleMania XIV as the special guest enforcer for the WWF Championship bout between Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin, while professional boxer Butterbean was challenged to a boxing match by Bart Gunn at WrestleMania XV. At WrestleManias XIV, XV and 2000, Pete Rose became involved in a short feud with Kane that became a running gag with each appearance ending with Rose receiving a Tombstone Piledriver or Chokeslam from Kane. The Big Show faced sumo wrestling champion Akebono in a sumo contest at WrestleMania 21 and fought professional welterweight boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at WrestleMania XXIV.
The event has also featured live musical performances. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire, Little Richard, Boyz II Men, Ashanti, Boys Choir of Harlem, Michelle Williams, John Legend, Nicole Scherzinger, Fantasia Barrino, and Keri Hilson have each renditioned the song "America the Beautiful" before the show.

Or was this just a one off thing?

Up until the event, she claimed she was going to be a long term diva. Now that it's done, she says she doesn't have time for wrestling.
But, sources in WWE said if she "stayed sober and showed up on time" they would consider signing her to a long term deal.

Dwayne Johnson wouldn't be anyone had it not been for the WWE. His father and grandfather were wrestlers. He followed in their footsteps, became one of the biggest drawing superstars, and moved on to Hollywood. But, "The Rock" remembers who made him what he is: Vince McMahon, the WWE and the WWE fans. He's back because it will always be part of who he is. |
