Many wrestling fans have loathed the fact that David Arquette became WCW World Champion. The decision to put the title on him was to get mainstream attention. Arquette did film the poorly received Ready to Rumble, which featured a plethora of WCW stars. It was Vince Russo who decided to give Arquette the strap.

When the decision was made, Arquette said that he was hated backstage. He also said:

"I remember telling one wrestler, I'm not sure who it was, wasn't Bam Bam Bigelow, but it was someone who hadn't ever been the champion before. And he was just so p****d. I was like I don't know what to say, man. You know, that was my first inkling on how sort of upset people were gonna get."

Arquette always respected professional wrestling, and in the last two years, he has been working on the independent wrestling scene for promotions such as Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. The move to wrestling from acting has now documented in a documentary entitled You Cannot Kill David Arquette.

Arquette did wrestle on WWE RAW in 2010 in a losing effort when he teamed with Alex Riley in a handicap match against Randy Orton.
