Stephen Amell of 'Arrow' impresses at WWE SummerSlam

It wasn't a Shawn Michaels "Mr. WrestleMania" masterpiece, but at least it wasn't Jay Leno.

Compared to the dubious history of celebrities participating in pro wrestling tag-team matches, "Arrow" star Stephen Amell more than held his own while teaming with Neville to beat King Barrett and Stardust on Sunday night during SummerSlam at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Amell started the match outside the ring but was quickly coaxed in by rival Stardust. He showed off immediately, jumping from the ring apron to the top rope and using it as a catapult to enter the ring. He followed that by doing a backflip off a belly-to-back suplex attempt and hit a hip toss on Stardust.

Stardust and Barrett eventually got Amell into the corner and started working him over, but Amell managed to get to Neville for the tag before they could finish him off.

Neville responded by sending Stardust and Barrett out of the ring and looked like he was going to use one of his patented aerial assault moves outside the ring to continue the attack.

But instead he turned to Amell, who ascended to the top turnbuckle and jumped onto the floor to level Barrett and Stardust.

Neville then hit his Red Arrow finisher on Barrett to secure the pin.

Amell's performance was less compelling but more technically sound than Mr. T when he teamed with Hulk Hogan to face "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and WrestleMania I in 1985.

Amell did outdo Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman when they teamed with Diamond Dallas Page and Hollywood Hogan, respectively, at WCW Bash at the Beach in 1998.

One would hope Amell's showing would be impressive enough to make people forget Leno teaming with Page to face Hogan and Eric Bischoff at WCW Road Wild in in '98.

But that's too much to ask anybody.
