Pressed up against a metal barricade with a crowd of thousands behind him, wrestling super-fan Jarrod Richardson has flown across the country to attend a three-day World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) spectacular in Perth's CBD.

Mr Richardson was joined by huge crowds in Forrest Chase in Perth on Friday night for the first of a series of shows to be held during the WWE's Crown Jewel spectacle.

He made it front and centre for the weekend he spent a small fortune on.

"Five of us bought tickets, we've spent $15,000," he said.

"And then about another four-grand on merchandise."

Wrestling star and Hollywood actor John Cena is set to appear in Perth for the event, along with other WWE superstars like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Tiffany Stratton, AJ Styles and Stephanie Vaquer.
