STEPHEN AMELL AND NEVILLE!
Arrow star Stephen Amell, a self professed wrestling fan, has been involved in a very public social media feud with WWE fighter Stardust, and it culminated today in
Summerslam 2015, where Stephen Amell teamed up with wrestler Neville to take on Stardust and King Barrett in a highly anticipated tag team match.
While fans may be disappointed by the lack of any real
Arrow references, Amell held his own considerably, especially seeing as though he had a very short amount of time to train, as well as the fact that he's not actually a wrestler. Plus, he did set up King Barrett for Neville to perform his signature move, the Red Arrow, so fans may take that as a subtle nod to the character.
While the event is pay-per-view (that means if you aren't willing to pay, you're just going to have to wait for the match to make its way online at a later date), Wrestling Inc has brought out a detailed description of the match, which you can read
here. One things for sure, whether or not you see the match - Stardust has Failed this city!
But what do you guys think? Did you see the fight, or did you give it a miss? How did you think Amell did his first time in the ring? Do you wish there were some references to Arrow during the fight? Sound off in the comments below, and be sure to share and hit that thumbs up!
