Stamford, Conn. – Move over Drew Carey. Today WWE has announced that any celebrity who has ever been on any of their television shows has been granted immediate induction into their celebrity Hall of Fame.
Among the new inductees this year are Macaulay Culkin, Ben Stiller, David Arquette, Vanna White, Steve-O, Snooki, Cheech (but Chong was strangely omitted), Florence Henderson, Mickie Rourke, the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line, the "Where's the Beef?" lady," and dozens of others.
After another year of creating no new stars of their own, WWE has decided to bring in some celebrity star power to hopefully increase buy rates for the show. Some see the move as a desperate ploy to get attention in the mainstream media, while others see it as a really desperate ploy to get attention in the mainstream media.
Mario Lopez of "Saved by the Bell" fame was asked about his induction, and he seemed a little confused. “I was on WWE?” he asked. “Ohhhh yeah, that’s when I was on that terrible show 'Pacific Blue.' Man, did that show suck. I think I was on Sunday Night Heat to promote the show and got into a shoving match with some wrestler who was like a porn star or something.”
Ben Stiller also seemed a little confused, but was quite honored. “Man, I’ll never forget the night I was on Raw. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair had me in the figure four, the crowd was going nuts, it was a dream come true!”
Shortly after, he was reminded that it was not Ric Flair, but Jeff Jarrett who had him in the figure four. He asked who Jeff Jarrett was, and repeated attempts to explain just led to more confusion. He was then asked if he would show up at the ceremony, and The Potato was not able to get a response from him because he was laughing too hard at the question.
Some former and current wrestlers are taking the news hard. “Last year I thought I was going in, so I thought for sure this was my year,” an anonymous wrestler we will call Barn Banderson said. “And Slater from 'Saved By The Bell' gets in before me? He doesn't even know what a spinebuster is! Martin Short got in too, and he literally was just sitting in the crowd.”
WWE promises that the “new, new for real this time youth movement” will start the day after WrestleMania as their main plan is to expand The Nexus to 19 members.
The only wrestler to get inducted this year was Vader. However, he was not inducted because of his career in wrestling, but because he guest starred on an episode of “Boy Meets World."
