Here Come 6 Celebrity Wrestling Fans

Today is WrestleMania. Its the biggest day of the year for pro-wrestling and the fans. Even after years of mainstream success and evolution, pro-wrestling still carries a stigma. Much like motorcycle riders and vegetarians, people assume only a certain kind of person would be interested in the hobby/entertainment.

However that's not always the case (sometimes it is, there are some enthusiasts who DO all fall into stereotypes), especially with wrestling fans. Pro-wrestling fans come in all shapes, sizes, bank accounts, and education levels. I know of PhD holders who enjoy professional wrestling.

Let's take a look at 6 of the biggest wrestling fans, in and out of the squared circle:

#6 - Bobby Moynihan and Taran Killam

Known for her role in Community, Gillian Jacobs has become one of Hollywood's biggest pro-wrestling fans. She's not shy about it either: http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/miscnews/article10035715.shtml

#4 - Eminem

The Rap God struck up a friendship with legendary luchador Rey Mysterio, Jr. a few years back. Eminem even sports a Mysterio mask when hanging out: http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/thisis50-caption-this-eminem  

#3 - Adam Sandler

This funny man has been spotted at multiple wrestling events over the last 20 years. He's even gone out of his way in his movies to include some of the biggest stars in pro-wrestling. Who can forget The Big Show as Captain Insano in The Waterboy:

#2 - Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart has been spotted at WWE shows over-and-over, even wearing John Cena gear. But you have to be a REALLY big fan to show up in the ring to play along without anything to push. The appearance above took place after Stewart announced he was leaving the Daily Show.

#1 - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold has been visible around pro-wrestling for 3 decades. Spending time in the ring, out of the ring, and all over to support  and attend multiple WWE events. Much like everyone else on the list. But why does he get to #1? Because he's the only one on the list who's actually in the WWE Hall of Fame: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/26/wwe-to-induct-arnold-schwarzenegger-into-its-hall-of-fame

This isn't a complete list of celebrity pro-wrestling fans, it would be unfair to leave off people like Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Billy Corgan, Weezer, and Jim Carrey.
