6 celebrities who should be in the WWE Hall of Fame

#3. David Arquette

Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette

Look, let me get this out of the way. As a wrestling fan and a pop culture nerd, let me say - David Arquette is awesome.

Outside of The Rock, David Arquette might be the celebrity that has the most right to claim credibility in the world of wrestling. And, he deserves a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

David - part of the accomplished Arquette family that includes Oscar winning sister Patricia - is best known in Hollywood for his roles in the Scream series, as well as roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ravenous, 3000 Miles to Graceland, and the WCW film Ready to Rumble. However, in 2000, while promoting that last movie, Arquette found himself the... no kidding... WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Did Arquette want to be champion? Absolutely not. He argued vehemently against the idea, not wanting to disrepect the performers he was working with. In fact, he donated all the money he made working with WCW to the families of the late Owen Hart and Brian Pillman (as well as Darren Drozdov, who was paralyzed in the ring). But, the fact remains that he was, technically, a World Champion recognized by the WWE.

Arquette, however, wasn't ready to let that be the end of his wrestling legacy. Unwilling to insult the legends he grew up idolizing, David trained and actually began performing in matches for independent promotions. In 2018, he began to train, for real, with current AEW performer Peter Avalon and even participated in a bloody deathmatch against Nick Gage in 2018.

The former World Champ hasn't been ignored by WWE either. He's made numerous appearances, including teaming with Alex Riley to take on Randy Orton on an episode of Raw, and even appeared on a recent episode of WWE Backstage.

The guy deserves a spot in the celebrity wing, WWE. Let's make this happen.
