10. David Arquette wins the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
In the year 2000, David Arquette may not have been a Hollywood A lister, but he was certainly well known to the general public due to his roles in the popular Scream franchise, and his more famous spouse, actress Courtney Cox.
In order to promote the movie Ready to Rumble, Arquette was booked to compete in a match on WCW Thunder. While fans were tickled at the idea of a skinny actor competing for the prestigious WCW championship, absolutely no one expected him to actually win it.
You know what they say about expectations...
Thanks for reading about the ten times fans were totally surprised. If you have comments or suggestions, please leave them below!
