Another mega wrestling fan who jumped into the ring is iconic Tonight Show host, Jay Leno. Back in the late 1990s, Leno ended up getting in the ring with one of the most well-known wrestlers of all time – Hulk Hogan. In this storyline, Hulk Hogan’s manager Eric Bischoff, who happened to be the real-life president of the WCW, began trying to be a talk show host.

This lead to Leno challenging him on air. Because the WCW scripted it to have Hulk and his team look to be the bad guys, Leno finished as the winner. Although it might not seem so realistic with the much smaller Leno going up against Hulk Hogan, it was still one of the most memorable celebrity matches of all time.

Arrow fans will be excited to learn how Stephen Amell did in the ring!
