He also felt more pressure because wrestling fans are hard on outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was absolutely, positively terrifying,&#8221; Amell told WSVN-TV entertainment reporter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/ChrisVanVliet\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Van Vliet<\/a> in a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xuV7qKwYCe4\" target=\"_blank\">sit-down interview<\/a> promoting the new Ninja Turtles movie. &#8220;It was one of the most frightening things that I&#8217;ve ever done in my entire life. Despite that fact that I am an actor and I am used to being in front of crowds, I&#8217;m not necessarily used to live performances. I hadn&#8217;t been in that type of setting ever. The closest I had ever came was an event at Comic-Con, but those are my people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amell teamed with Neville against Stardust and King Barrett in an undercard tag match that came off fine. Amell added his thoughts on how wrestling fans handled his involvement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As fantastic as wrestling fans are, and they really are, there is a little piece in all of them and a big piece in a lot of them that want all celebrity guests to fail mercifully. So, I could hear it, I could feel it, but then I think I pulled through,&#8221; Amell said.\u00a0&#8220;I was very happy with the match. But, until I went back and watched it, I did not remember a thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amell said he would want to have another match. And, this time, fully embrace whatever he does in the ring because he felt &#8220;too for school&#8221; at times not wanting to\u00a0do all of the moves he thought about doing in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>The new &#8220;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&#8221; movie also features WWE star Sheamus as Rocksteady. The movie is due out June 3 in U.S. theaters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stephen Amell: WWE was &quot;positively terrifying&quot;, I want another match\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xuV7qKwYCe4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1822354635\"><div id=\"pwtor-3400568520\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Actor Stephen Amell says he was terrified wrestling at last year&#8217;s Summerslam.
