10 Biggest Celebrity Wrestling Fans
Big names, big love of professional wrestling.
It is one of the strange quirks of being a professional wrestling fan, but most of us react with something approaching surprise at learning that someone from the weird world of celebrity is a fan of the art-form. No matter how much love you have for pro graps and no matter how aware you are of the cultural boundaries it traverses, it still surprises.
It shouldn't of course. Professional wrestling is a humongous business with a long, storied history, and more so than most worlds it has had its fair share of crossover attention and involvement. Not a WrestleMania passes without celebrity involvement, not a major event without attention being drawn to big names in the audience.
Most of the time these familiar faces are attending on business, but no small number of celebrities have expressed a love for the wacky world of professional wrestling. Musicians, talk-show hosts, athletes, actors and more are self-professed fans of the art. Some names are well-known, others may come as a surprise, but what would any aspect of professional wrestling be without a shocker or two?
Here are 10 of the biggest celebrity wrestling fans in the world.
10. Melissa Joan Hart
It was one of the weirdest stories to come out of the professional wrestling world in recent memory, but news broke towards the end of 2015 that Kevin Owens had blocked Melissa Joan Hart on Twitter. That's a strange enough sentence to write as it is, but KO was soon backed up in blocking Sabrina the Teenage Witch by The New Day.
Bizarre Twitter altercations aside, the star of 1990s American Teen TV is well known for her love of professional wrestling. Maybe it is the 'Hart' in her name, but she often live-tweets shows and attends when possible.
Why she wasn't used as a guest host during that hellacious era for RAW, I will never know.
