During an appearance on The Whole Story Podcast, former baseball player Pete Rose commented on his celebrity appearance at WWE Wrestlemania 14 in 1998:
“It’s strictly a retired baseball player getting a gig, and that gig paid $50K, to do Wrestlemania. Let me tell you something about Wrestlemania, and I say this constantly, I have never met a wrestler that wasn’t a good guy backstage. Big Show, Undertaker, Stone Cold, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan… they’re all great guys behind the scenes. I love the wrestlers. They’re entertainers. They understand they got a good gig going.”
Rose also commented on how he still follows wrestling:
“I root for Charlotte. Ric Flair’s my buddy though. He’s a funny dude. He don’t give me a ‘woo,’ he gives me a ‘woo! woo!’ (laughs).”
