Chucky’’s second season has been a thrill ride, and so has their advertising campaign. During NXT’s Halloween Havoc, Chucky returned once more to the world of professional wrestling to shill his show and of course, threaten to murder the talent on-screen, even meeting Bronn Breaker, the son of Rick Steiner, with who he had a memorably bizarre feud with in WCW.

Chucky is far from the first pop culture staple to crossover with the WWE. In fact, WWE is basically the sports entertainment version of Super Smash Bros, thanks to its assortment of pop culture cameos.

Chucky

Chucky the killer doll has been an honored guest of WWE twice now. While his first professional wrestling appearance was in their competitor WCW, Chucky has been a guest on both NXT Halloween Havoc events in 2021 and 2022, both times advertising his new show.

Chucky adores the violence of professional wrestling and talks about the horrifying spots with his typical snarky ease. He compliments the heels for being viciously unfair, such as Ciampa, one of the biggest heels in NXT history. If Chucky gets a third season, then the NXT roster is likely to say hi to the killer doll once again.

Walker Texas Ranger

While admittedly a “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” moment, Survivor Series 1994 gave audiences a surprise cameo from one of the biggest TV icons of the 90s, Chuck Norris, one of Hollywood’s greatest action movie stars. He was playing his character in Walker Texas Ranger to help the Undertaker win his match against Yokozuna (though was still introduced as Chuck Norris).

He didn’t take any bumps, but even back in the 90s, Chuck Norris’ mythical strength was feared enough that the two massive heels King Kong Bundy and Bam Bam Bigelow could do nothing but shout angrily as Walker stared them down into submission. While it would have been cool to see Chuck Norris roundhouse kick somebody, this was still a pretty fun moment.

The Three Stooges

A running trend of the early 2010s seems to be in-character celebrity cameos, and perhaps the most fitting for the world of pro wrestling was The Three Stooges. The new actors behind the iconic Stooges gave it their all in paying homage to the comedy legends, and credit where credit is due, they captured their spirit, especially with the bumps they started taking.

Curly went out impersonating Hulk Hogan himself, and this didn’t please his fellow Stooges or the audience. Such was the pop when the Big Red Machine suddenly emerged from the ramp, and gave Curly a ring-shaking chokeslam. Major props were given to Will Sasso for committing to the bump, though he’d already had prior experience wrestling thanks to his WCW appearances.

Snooki

The early 2010s were a rough period for the WWE, and Wrestlemania XXVII is widely considered one of the worst Wrestlemanias ever. However, Snooki from the reality show, Jersey Shore turned out to be one of the better performances of the night.

With Trish Stratus up against the ropes, Snooki gets tagged in, and she does an impressive series of flips before butt-slamming her opponent for a massive pop. Snooki had an extensive cheerleading background, and that sudden display of athleticism probably shocked some haters enough to begrudgingly respect her dedication to the match.

Pee-wee Herman

Returning to the rough 2010s, Pee-wee Herman was a guest star on the November 1, 2010 edition of Monday Night Raw, where he participated in a backstage skit with heels The Miz and Alex Riley. This cameo, while overall harmless, was an unfortunate sign of WWE’s declining storylines at the time.

While The Miz was no stranger, and remains open to comedy acts, this one lasted a dragging 10 minutes. Unlike Snooki, Pee-wee Herman didn’t do a flipping butt slam onto an opponent at Wrestlemania XXVII, but did get to have a few funny interactions with The Rock, so it hopefully evens out.

Frank Drebin

The 90s had plenty of celebrity cameos and more often than not, they were billed as comedy acts. This was the case when Leslie Nielsen played Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun. Frank would make regular cameos on WWF television as he was apparently on a missing persons case. The missing person being the Undertaker, who had been MIA for months.

Most of the comedy revolved around Frank Drebin failing to notice clues that the Undertaker had been somewhere, and at one point, was even right behind him. The segment certainly sounded like it was over among the crowd, but in retrospect, many fans found the entire gag to have dragged on for way too long.

Shaft

At the turn of the century, the WWF was riding high as they finally turned the tables on the Monday Night Wars. This meant that once more, all the cool celebrities were once again shilling their movies on WWF television. One of the absolute coolest was Samuel L. Jackson, playing one of his greatest characters, Shaft.

Crash Holly bumped into the renegade cop and hires Shaft’s services to protect the hot potato that was the Hardcore title. Shaft takes his job seriously and knocks out a few fools who try to get to his new client, followed up with a trailer for his movie. It’s ridiculous, but unlike most celebrity cameos, actually ended up being a badass moment in the badass Attitude era.

Elvira

In the burgeoning first few years of the upstart WWF, they were trying all they could to put their names on the map. The success of the first-ever Wrestlemania inspired them to continue what would become the Showcase of the Immortals. Hosting the segment on this historic sequel was none other than cult horror icon, Elvira.

It’s no exaggeration that Elvira fit like a glove into the colorful world of pro wrestling, as she commentated alongside legends such as Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Lord Alfred Hayes. While Wrestlemania II wasn’t the greatest show, it was a successful one, and Elvira is fondly remembered for her creative commentary.

The Muppets

If there’s one thing the Muppets can be relied on, even in the dark years of WWE, is to be entertaining. They were there to advertise their newest movie in over a decade, and so most of the movie's cast was there.

However, the biggest MVP of the Muppets that night was none other than Beaker himself. He played a crucial role in giving Santino Marella the win over Jack Swagger. Not only that, he was defended by Sheamus against an aggressive Christian, at which point the crowd was shaken by the hilarious reveal that Beaker was Sheamus’ cousin.

Mr. T

Mr. T is considered by many to be the perennial pro-wrestling guest star. He had the look, energy, and machismo of a great pro wrestler anyway, so his guest appearances fit perfectly with the sports entertainment world. His very first appearance was in 1985 when he tagged with Hulk Hogan at the first-ever Wrestlemania, which of course, they won.

Since then, he has made sporadic appearances throughout the history of pro wrestling, such as his feuds with “Cowboy” Bob Orton and Rowdy Roddy Piper, both of whom he allegedly had real heat with as the wrestlers felt he hadn’t “earned his dues” as a pro wrestler. Without a doubt, Mr. T’s star power helped legitimize the WWF in the eyes of many, and is completely deserving of his Hall of Fame status in the organization.
