10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE WrestleMania 20

7. Howard Stern Was Asked To Make An Appearance

WrestleMania is as much about spectacle and celebrity as it is wrestling, so it's not an eye-opener that Vince McMahon approached the New York-based shock jock Howard Stern about making an appearance at the show. 

Having been asked to appear on big events numerous times in the past, Vince once again went to Stern to see if he would be interested in doing something at the Showcase of the Immortals. 

According to Stern, however, the WWE writers couldn't come up with anything entertaining for him to do and he passed. Apparently, McMahon himself asked Howard what he wanted to do on the show, with Stern commenting that he doesn't sit around all day thinking about stuff to do on a wrestling show. 

Further to that, the two sides were well apart on money, with Stern asking for a $1 million and Vince offering something between $5,000 and $10,000. 

'Fartman' was quoted as saying he would need a lot more than that to "lower himself to do a wrestling event". Well, 'Baby Booey' to you too, Mr. Stern.
