Last night Triple H stopped by the show with a grand entrance. And last week, Ken Jeong challenged Jon Cena to a rematch in the wrestling ring. We have got some professional wrestling all up in this show! But professional wrestling has been hobnobbing with non wrestling stars since it's beginning. It's history is chocked full of stars. There are so many!! Here are just a few. Who else ya got!? Get in the ring and show me! (The ring is in the comments.)
