Wrestling is no longer just wrestling. The term instead has been replaced by sports entertainment, and wrestling shows will go all out to gain main stream attention in the entertainment department. In the past few years WWE RAW has had guest hosts on their shows, and sometimes the guest stars get involved in the action like Jon Stewart at SummerSlam and Hugh Jackman punching Dolph Ziggler and Damien Sandow in recent years.

There are some instances in the history of sports entertainment where the celebrities did more than just get involved in the match; instead they were the match. Stephen Amell took out his frustration with Stardust in the ring at SummerSlam when he tagged with Neville. His effort got me interested in checking out the best celebrity matches of all time, so I looked back on some of the matches where celebrities competed against superstars and stepped in the squared circle. Here I’ve ranked the top 5 celebrity matches of all time.
Reminder: this list is based on the wrestling action in the ring. While other matches may be more entertaining or have more memorable moments, this is based on the in ring ability. It is based on who looks like they belong in the ring with the wrestlers. All the celebrities on this list are athletes in their own right, so who would have the best performance inside the ring?
