WWE vs Arrow - 7 Reasons Why Stardust & Stephen Amell Is A Great Idea

7. Stephen Amell Can Hold His Own Physically

One argument against celebrities (especially actors) getting in the ring is that they are not trained wrestlers and therefore it's insulting to portray them as equals to men and women who have spent years training to a professional standard. That's a fair argument, but that doesn't mean that an actor cannot be trained. Especially an actor with as much physical training under his belt as Stephen Amell.

A real specimen, Amell is highly skilled at Parkour or Free Running (WWE fans may remember that John Morrison brought a lot of that to his in ring style), and performs many of his own stunts on Arrow. 

Though he will still require training to work a professional wrestling match, you should be confident Amell will take to it extremely well. And besides, he's not going in completely blind.
