Enter caption

When WrestleMania first launched in 1985, it was a monumental event, blending the spectacle of pro-wrestling with the glamour of celebrity culture.

Since then, the worlds of WWE and celebrity have often connected, with actors, musicians and even muppets appearing on WWE TV.

For the past few years, the WWE Hall of Fame have had a celebrity inductee, with Price Is Right star Drew Carey, rapper Kid Rock and Terminator/Predator star Arnold Schwarzenegger all being inducted.

Here are 5 more celebrities who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

#5 Motorhead

The iconic rock group from the UK, Motorhead have performed several times in WWE, lending their unique style to 14-time World Champion, Triple H.

At WrestleMania 17, the band played the Game to the ring for his first WrestleMania bout against the Undertaker, and played him to the ring again four years later, when he defended the World Championship against Batista.

Whilst frontman Lemmy has sadly passed, it is clear that the band has a close connection to wrestling, with Triple H even speaking at Lemmy's funeral.

#4 Regis Philbin

A huge American media personality, known for his unique voice, Philbin has often been regarded as the hardest working man in show business and is the Guinness World Record Holder for most time on TV.

Appearing at WrestleMania 7, Philbin interviewed superstars and was the guest commentator for the main eventer between Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter.

An icon of Television, Philbin is no doubt worthy of the Hall of Fame.

#3 Lawrence Taylor

So often, WrestleMania 11 is overlooked, with many fans missing the event between the incredible Shawn Michaels-Razor Ramon ladder match of the year prior, and the outstanding Iron Man match between Shawn and Bret Hart the year after.

But for the 1995 WrestleMania, the WWE enlisted pro footballer Lawrence 'L.T' Taylor for the main event, having the big man defeat Bam Bam Bigelow in one of the best non-wrestler matches.

Whilst putting the match as the main event (over the WWF Championship) seems poor, no-one can deny that LT put his absolute all into the show.

#2 Ted Turner

Whilst it seems impossible to see Ted Turner enter the WWE Hall of Fame, we as fans know to never say never.

When Turner bought of Jim Crockett Promotions, the media mogul decided to revamp the entire production, changing JCP, to WCW.

The legacy of WCW is well known (for good and bad), as the company went toe-to-toe with WWF in the infamous Monday Night Wars.

With WCW now dead and buried, having McMahon induct Turner could be a bonding moment for the two, if one is able to show a little leeway.

#1 Muhammad Ali

Arguably the greatest boxer in history, Muhammad Ali will always be a name held in great reverence.

Born Cassius Clay, Ali made his name in the boxing world, losing only 5 fights, and is also known for his work as a campaigner for equal rights for African-Americans

In wrestling, Ali was the guest referee for the main event of WrestleMania 1, which saw Hulk Hogan and 2014 Hall of Famer Mr. T, defeat Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff.
