Mike Tyson was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame back in 2012. He has made a few appearances throughout the years in the WWE. His most notable was at Wrestlemania 14 where he was the special guest enforcer for the match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Heartbreak Kid: Shawn Michaels.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Mike Tyson was asked if he was upset that he didn’t get to wrestle Steve Austin instead of being the special enforcer. His answer really demonstrates how the WWE SHOULD book their celebrity appearances.
Here is what he said:
“No, no way. Anything they gave me, I was just very grateful to be a part of. I’m just very grateful to be a part of that stuff, but I used to like Big Show, and Floyd can’t beat Big Show in a fight, and that doesn’t make boxing look good, you know what I mean? It doesn’t make wrestling look good. They should’ve had Big Show choke Floyd out or something. Gorilla Monsoon slammed Muhammad Ali, and you’re telling me Floyd, who is 140 pounds, that he’s going to beat a 500-pound guy like that? C’mon man. When you step into their field, you have to let them be kings in their field. Gorilla Monsoon slammed Muhammad Ali. Andre The Giant kicked Chuck Wepner’s butt, right? So don’t bring guys into their field and make them look bad on their own mat. I don’t like that. From a fan’s perspective, I didn’t like that” (Source: ESPN).
