Celebrity Wrestling - When Stars Enter The Squared Circle, Part III

In which Hollywood Hulk Hogan goes toe-to-chin with Jay Leno.

When Eric Bischoff was at the helm of the Good Ship WCW, train wrecks like the RoboCop debacle seemed to occur almost every week. The most memorable misfires included paying KISS $500,000 to play a single song and plug a Gene Simmons-themed wrestler (The Demon, a gimmick veteran Brian Adam handed on to rookie Dale Torborg after just one night), hiring Megadeth to play Bill Goldberg’s theme at a time when the band didn’t mean much to anyone, and having 'The Dog-Faced Gremlin’ Rick Steiner feud with none other than Chucky, the killer doll from the Child’s Play movies.

Easy E also developed a thing for basketball players, shelling out almost $1 million to have Chicago Bulls bad boy Dennis Rodman side with the NWO at a handful of events, many of which he no-showed. Ever one to throw good money after bad, Bischoff then brought in Karl Malone (of the Bulls’ 1998 playoff rivals, the Utah Jazz) to feud with ‘Rodzilla’.
