10 Endings to WWE matches that left us shocked

Even the most diehard of fans can be shocked by the results in a WWE ring.

Arquette takes the belt

David Arquette was an unlikely choice to be the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

In 2000, WCW was fading fast and was on its last leg in the Monday Night War against the WWF. Talent like Chris Jericho had already made the jump, and the product was suffering. But if the “Fingerpoke of Doom” was one of the first nails in the coffin, the Thunder episode on April 26, 2000, was one of the final ones.

The main event was a tag team match between Eric Bischoff and Jeff Jarrett and their opponents, WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page and actor David Arquette, star of WCW movie “Ready to Rumble.” The stipulation was that whoever got the winning pin would become champion, and that man was Arquette. Rumor has it that the actor, a true wrestling fan, didn’t want to be champion, but booker Vince Russo thought it was a great idea.

Instead, it was one of the last straws in sinking the company and solidifying WWF as the winners of the war.
