- [Zach] Celebrities
have been squaring off
against wrestlers for decades,
but they don't always
wait for the bell to ring
to start the fight.
These are several
incidents where celebrities
jumped the barricade
and attacked wrestlers.
Back in 2008, the undefeated
boxer, Floyd Mayweather,
sat front row at a WWE show
to support his friend, Rey Mysterio,
but he got a little more
than he bargained for.
Rey ended losing his match against Edge
and the Rated R Superstar left
Mysterio pretty beaten up.
Almost immediately after the contest,
The Big Show made his return.
To make a statement on
his first night back,
the World's Largest
Athlete wrapped his hand
around the helpless Rey Mysterio
and started shouting at Mayweather.
Just before the giant could
hit Mysterio with a chokeslam,
Floyd jumped into the ring
to save his masked friend.
Big Show wasn't fazed
and started taunting the
boxer by shoving Floyd around
and getting down onto his knees.
Finally, Floyd Mayweather had enough
and delivered some lighting fast punches
before hightailing it out
of the arena with his crew.
Furious, Big Show chased after Mayweather,
knocking down anybody that got in his way.
Thankfully, Shane McMahon was
there to calm the giant down.
If there's a lesson to be learned here,
it's that if a WWE wrestler invites you
to watch their match, you're probably
gonna end up getting involved.
The three-time Super Bowl
champion, Rob Gronkowski,
learned this at WrestleMania
33 when he sat front row
to cheer on his real-life
friend, Mojo Rawley.
Rawley was one of the 33 participants
in the Andre the Giant
Memorial Battle Royal
and held his own as the match wore on.
Finally, there was just
three wrestlers left;
Killian Dain, Jinder Mahal, and Mojo.
The Modern-Day Maharaja sent
the former Hype Bro through
the middle rope and continued
his assault on the outside.
After he noticed Rob Gronkowski,
Jinder Mahal started
taunting the football player
by taking his drink and
throwing it back at his face.
Not happy with Jinder's attitude,
Gronkowski decided to take
things into his own hands.
He hopped over the barricade
and after a brief moment
where one security guard
thought it was real, the 6 1/2-foot
New England Patriot entered the ring.
He got into a running stance
and when the moment was right,
charged forward and sent
Jinder Mahal flying.
Mojo took care of the rest
and after winning the match,
the two celebrated in the ring.
Going back to 2000, the
infamous David Arquette
was sitting front row on
an episode of WCW Thunder
to help promote the recently
released "Ready to Rumble".
The main event of the evening
was between Bam Bam Bigelow
and Diamond Dallas Page,
and this is when the
actor had to get involved.
During the match, Eric Bischoff
and Jeff Jarrett interfered
and knocked out Page.
Arquette came to his friend's aid
by getting on the top rope
and diving into Bischoff.
Jeff Jarrett quickly
grabbed David Arquette
and threw him over the top rope
and proceeded to beat him
all around the ringside area.
The Chosen One concluded his
attack by laying out the star
of "Ready to Rumble"
with his finishing move.
Ironically, just two weeks later,
Arquette would win the WCW
World Heavyweight Championship.
During Cody Rhodes' run as Stardust,
he got into some beef with the
Green Arrow, Stephen Amell.
It began in May of 2015, when
Amell was sitting front row
enjoying an episode of Raw.
While Stardust was making his entrance,
he spotted the actor and
got up close and personal.
The Green Arrow scared
the Prince of Dark Matter
away that time, but their next encounter
wasn't so peaceful.
A little over two months later,
Stephen Amell was once
again in attendance for Raw.
Stardust ran into the ring
and ambushed Neville,
who had just won a match.
After the assault, The
Interdimensional Oddity
took the opportunity to reintroduce
himself to Stephen Amell,
but this time decided to ruff him up a bit
by shoving the superhero
down onto his seat.
Amell didn't take kindly to this
and jumped the barricade
and tackled Stardust.
Security broke it up just
as soon as the fight began,
but Stephen Amell still managed
to get a few punches in.
While Amell made an enemy that evening,
he also made a friend in Neville.
Floyd Mayweather and
Stephen Amell's attacks
were my favorites, but
which one were yours?
