The lads.

Westside Gunn, rapper from the group Griselda, is a MASSIVE fan of wrestling. He doesn't have many songs or albums where it's not referenced heavily. He even has an EP with Conway called Hall & Nash.

I'm sure I read that Demi Lovato is a huge fan as well.

 

 

 

I heard they had to rename it the 'Tarrant pop' after the big man's appearance here.

Pretty sure he performed live for Daniel Garcia's entrance in New York on Dynamite at some point last year.

Post Malone is massive unashamed wrestling fan!

Ed Gamble mentions quite a bit on Off Menu that he's been to a show or is wearing a T-Shirt. I think he's done some training too.

He wrestled for Max & Ivan's The Wrestling show, which always involves wrestlers and comedians working matches together. I have seen him at a couple of shows since then, and his wife is a huge wrestling fan, and has done some training herself.

There's a neverending list of rappers, Jpegmafia has references to wrestling in countless songs and even his signature sample is "You think the know me". He's had a small AEW cameo, too

Frank Sabotka from The Wire is a huge fan.

He was a PWG regular. 

Hayley Williams has also attended PWG a couple of times. And there’s also that famous picture of Sofia Vegara ringside at PWG after some chaos. 

I’m sure it was a goalkeeper in the premier league who said they loved WWE. But can’t remember if it’s Marcus Hahnemann, Paddy Kenny or someone else.

Eamonn Holmes unashamedly was at both a WWE PPV (Rebellion?) and also was at the TNA London shows with Ruth and kids.

Andy Warhol also talked wrestling a fair few times in interviews.

Can't believe I've got a second chance in a week to wheel out "Big Eams is in a bad place." He certainly was there.... London. Or as I spell it, S-H-I-T-H-O-L-E, shithole.

Sean Price was always name dropping wrestlers as well. Just off the top of my head I can recall lyrics referencing Kamala, Superfly Jimmy Snuka and Bobby Heenan. Even threw in a “ham and egger” mention on the Heenan one!

And there was the time back in his Heltah Skeltah days when they used Goldust’s music on a song…

Glenn Danzig is a die hard fan since the Sammartino days and still keeps up with it. I love this photo

Maybe not fans, but certainly making an appearance, it's bizarre to see the WWF show at the Wembley Arena in 1989 having the like of Screaming Lord Such and the cast of Hi-de-Hi there. Su Pollard dancing to Honky's music in front of an amused Jeffrey Holland.

Other than the usual metal musicians and rappers, David de Gea is the one that most recently had a bit of a coming out. He shared photos of Bray Wyatt on his Instagram account after his passing.

Excuse me for including the fat tongued wanker in this clip, but to the surprise of virtually no one McConaughey is obviously a big fan. No-one would expect Skandar Akbar to be name checked on Graham Norton.
