• Old School WrestleMania Celebrity Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 100th birthday of Old School WrestleMania Celebrity Liberace (Real name: Wladziu Liberace).
In 1985, Liberace appeared on the first ever WrestleMania as one of many celebrities (including Muhammad Ali & Cindy Lauper) and was used as the special guest time-keeper for the main event of the night, Hulk Hogan & Mr. T versus Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff.
He’s one of the many former WWF celebrities, who are currently not inducted into the ‘Celebrity Wing’ of the WWE Hall of Fame (yet).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE!
May 16, 1919 – February 4, 1987
