The mid-1990s would see numerous celebrity appearances in both WWE and WCW, including the likes of Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dennis Rodman.

The 1994 Survivor Series would have Hollywood Action hero Chuck Norris being brought in as special outside referee for the main event featuring the Undertaker and Yokozuna in a casket match.

Norris would have altercations with multiple WWE Superstars during the match including King Kong Bundy and Bam Bam Bigelow. He would deliver a superkick to the interfering Jeff Jarrett as well, enabling the Undertaker to deliver a DDT and Big boot to the Japanese behemoth, eventually rolling him into the casket and winning the match.

The PPV would also see Bob Backlund win the WWF Championship from Shawn Michaels only to lose it to Diesel three days later.
