David Arquette at least did his job correctly, the booking was just beyond terrible. One of the worst I can recall is the toe-curling episode of Raw hosted by Jeremy Piven and Dr Ken, capped off with the following:

I'd argue David Arquette was one of the best celeb involvements in wrestling. 

1. He knew how stupid it was and wasn't a mark for himself.

2. He did it for a fairly valid reason (a WCW film he starred in)

3. He gave all the money he earned to charity

4. People still talk about it.

McGregor has to do a match at some point. It'd be a travesty if it didn't happen. If there's anyone who understands the tribal weird carny world of pro wrestling it's him. I'd even redo the Floyd angle mentioned previously. Imagine Conor jumping the barricade and nailing Cena with a roundhouse. 

The no limit soldiers were another one, a bit shit in hindsight but being a suggestive teenager living vicariously through a cocktail of Rap music, late 90's wrestling and South Park I loved it.

If it had been a one-off at Wrestlemania, the greatest would have to be Ronda. No celebrity has ever had that good of a match and displayed such an aptitude for this business as Ronda did on that night. Her trash-talking, her selling, her facials, her execution, everything was near perfect.

It’s amazing how much great pro-wrestling I’ve seen this year, throwing myself into New Japan and ROH, as well as all the fantastic NXT Takeover matches, and yet Ronda & Kurt vs. Triple H & Stephanie is still potentially my match of the year. I love Johnny Gargano. I love Kenny Omega. I love Tommaso Ciampa. I love Kota Ibushi. I love Seth Rollins. I love the Young Bucks. I love Will Ospreay. I love Naito. I love Okada. However, nothing any of those guys have done this year has had me smiling like a goof the way I was when Ronda started beating up Triple H in that tag match.
