Arrow: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Stephen Amell

2. He€™s A Huge Wrestling Fan

He grew up watching wrestling as a huge fan of Hulk Hogan, and attended WrestleMania VI in 1990, when the Hulkster lost to the Ultimate Warrior, reportedly crying at the defeat. Now as an adult he€™s made an appearance himself in WWE, having something of a Twitter feud with Stardust and then a brief altercation with him on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw. Plans are reportedly in place for the two to actually face-off in the ring at Summerslam this August, although Amell has moved to deny those reports, tweeting:

Lots of rumors circulating that I'm fighting @StardustWWE at Summerslam. Not true. Cody wants no piece of me.

Presumably trying to fit in wrestling with filming Arrow would pose something of a problem, but then again, just because someone says something isn€™t true is no reason to believe it won€™t happen.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
