Actors in the squared circle
David Arquette is probably best known for films such as the 'Scream' series and 'Eight Legged Freaks'. In 2000, he appeared in a wrestling comedy film entitled 'Ready To Rumble', which was based around World Championship Wrestling (WCW)
Following the release of the movie, WCW decided to generate publicity for the company by running a storyline in which Arquette, a legitimate wrestling fan, became WCW World Champion - a title he held for 12 days, before drropping it at the Slamboree PPV
This storyline was reviled by wrestling fans, and Arquette himself believed it was a bad idea, as he felt that it would damage the value of the belt he held in such high regard!
