It’s a path taken by celebs from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Snooki to the current president, Donald Trump.
And on Saturday, Honey Boo Boo was the latest star to make a cameo at a professional wrestling event Saturday, interjecting herself into a match that was taking place in her home state at the Georgia State Fair, at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The match pit pro wrestlers James Storm and Robbie E for the Atlanta-based independent promotion Universal Championship Wrestling.

Here comes Honey Boo Boo: Alana Thompson, a.k.a. Honey Boo Boo, got involved in a match Saturday at the Georgia State Fair at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, slapping one of the participants as he was restrained on the guardrail
The action had tumbled out of the ring when Storm summoned the 13-year-old TLC star, whose name is Alana Thompson, to the guardrail to dish out some punishment to his opponent.
The outing was part of a filmed segment for her family’s show Mama June: From Not to Hot, according to TMZ, as her ‘Mama June’ Shannon, and sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon were ringside for the outing.
Both of the wrestlers took to social media in the wake of the memorable outing.
Storm posted a clip of the match to his Instagram page, writing, ‘Yep even [Honey Boo Boo] gets to beat up [Robbie E] … Such a great time today.
