In the latest edition of these special Wrestlemania threads, we look at celebrities. Who's your number one? Base this on how whatever you like, how well they did, how much you like said person, how big their role was, your choice. Just remember to add some thought behind your choices.

5. Floyd Mayweather
Love him or hate him, Floyd Mayweather was born for wrestling. He knew he wasn't going to be the hero at WM 24, so he just acted as himself: the most dickish underdog you ever met. Never have you wanted David to get decimated by Goliath so bad. Great match with Big Show.

4. Pete Rose
A repeat offender, the only celebrity to appear at Wrestlemania 3 years running. After falling foul of Kane at 13, he made revenge his personal aim at the next two, each with equally disastrous consequences. He had a rough time of it, but the continuity and humour of his appearances finds him at five.

3. Lawrence Taylor
The only celebrity to main event a Wrestlemania, LT's match with Bam Bam Bigelow is still the standard to which all other celebrity matches are measured.

2. Mike Tyson
Tyson's role at Wrestlemania 13 was perfect. Baddest man on the planet doesn't get along with the toughest SOB in the WWE, becomes ringside enforcer for his WWE title match. The idea of two tough bastards in their prime trading blows was mouth watering at the time. Add to the fact that Tyson's appearance came at a time when WWE was starting to regain ground on WCW and his appearance is seen as highly influential during the Monday Night Wars.

1. Donald Trump
The Donald's contributions to Wrestlemania are numerous and great. Trump plaza hosted Wrestlemania two years straight, the only time that's happened in Wrestlemania history. He then returned at WM23 to participate in "The Battle of the Billionaires" that resulted in Mr. McMahon getting his head shaved bald, and drew one of the WWE's biggest PPV buyrates ever.
