WWE loves to get celebrities involved around Wrestlemania season. In the past, Oscar-nominee Mickey Rourke, Adam Sandler, Maria Menounos and even Floyd Mayweather have appeared on WWE television around this time of year.
Remember how much Regis Philbin put over WWE back in the 80s and 90s? Jon Stewart could be that guy in the modern landscape. Use him more!
