Legitimate wrestling legend David Arquette. My respect for him was solidified when I learned that he argued against being given the WCW Championship, asked Ric Flair what he should do after winning it (wear the belt to the bar and buy all the boys drinks), and donated all the money he earned from his appearances to the families of dead and disabled wrestlers. And then he came back to wrestling years later anyway just to try and make up for what he'd been involved in, even though he was already one of the guys with the least to apologise for. What a guy.
You cannot kill David Arquette! Side Note: For those who didn't know, Jungle boys late father, Luke Perry, was ringside when Arquette nearly accidentally died wrestling and went to the hospital with him. Sadly, Luke Perry passed away a few months later from a stroke.
Allegedly, a young Jack Perry drove the car to the hospital playing the hit Guns and Roses song Welcome to The Jungle, earning him the nickname Jungle Boy.
@@BGL19283 I feel if RJ makes commentary it won’t last long cuz Danhausen will take that job from RJ really quick lol Danhausen as a commentator would be Gold. I think AEW ratings would go through the roof if they made Danhausen a commentator
@@smac919 The only reason I can think of is he planning to go more part-time and take a backstage role. His hair was half of his identity, so it kinda felt like an end of an era for Peter.
As crazy an wild as David Arquette is, if you know his story you will gain a lot of respect for him... Believe it or not he truly genuinely loves wrestling.
@Paul Kendrick yes. I first learned of their association when i was super into Family Feud, and David Arquette's team was facing off against Pee Wee Herman's team. I know Jungle Boy, RJ, Dalton Castle and Peter Avalon were on Arquette's team
Have to always appreciate the guy, he didn't want the belt, but then wanted to try to erase the embarassment of him having it, which I honestly think he did. He didn't have to give the money to anybody but he did. It's pretty obvious that a lot of what he did was fully in character, although there was some definite high as a kite giggles mixed in as well. He would giggle and act like he was insane, then go fully into a wrestling promo. Guy isn't insane, watching him in Scream over the years, he normally gave the best performance in the movies, he was able to be sad, charming, pitiful, disarming, confident, and truthfully the most loved character in the movies, which is why killing him off finally, was the biggest hit to take, you could have killed the other legacy stars of the movies and not hurt as much. Dude seems like such a good guy, I mean even the ex-wife still loves him. I would actually like to see him somehow get a Brandan Fraser moment as well.
My wife and I sometimes get that way since we stopped smoking weed and started taking liquid-THC-oral-Spray (THSpray we call it) instead. 100% legal in Canada (and a bunch of states now) and we often get crazy laughing like he had... so it could totally be just that -- i feel like im missing out on the fun however by being sober watching this :P
@@OfficialGobbledyGooker and we're all still watching, huh? 'come together right now over me.' get it? The me is over. Not wrestling "over", rather done with. Me too. Swallow pride.
@@PACNYY Dude been wrestling in the industry for a long time. He is a pro wrestler who started as one of most hated non pro wrestlers. Let that sink in
I've had to watch this a 2nd time because the first time I was laughing so hard I missed some of the dialogue and it was 5am 😆. I thought I wouldn't need to keep backing it up but I've been bursting out laughing. RJ and David were so funny I started coughing while I was laughing. Omg you guys! And that 'expired lsd' line to end the show really was perfect! 🤣🤣
Tony needs to sign David to AEW he’s so entertaining to watch and his happiness is infectious also R.J is the best at what he does he always makes every interview funny. Excellent keep them coming it makes my day each week. 👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
No. I'm fine with him being on here because it's a joke, but if I see him in the ring or with a mic on Dynamite I will boycott this company in 0.3 ms flat. As a wrestling fan, I don't have fond memories of David Arquette.
@@Weeping_Somnambulist Arquette gave back more than he ever owed professional wrestling, and wrestling nearly cost him his life. It sounds like you stopped paying attention to him during the WCW era, because he salvaged his reputation with the boys backstage, and put in the work after the fact to make up for his embarrassment in WCW.
@@coherentpanda7115 it's nothing against Arquette personally, just really don't want to see actors anywhere near a wrestling ring. It was embarrassing for pro wrestling. That isn't Arquette's fault, it just makes the business look like a joke in the worst way possible.
Love the hell outta this man; wish more people were as free spirited as David. He's the type of friend everyone needs to make us all better people. Sláinte David 🍻
I'm torn apart on this one. On one hand it is the greatest Hey EW episode ever, maybe even the greatest audiovisual document ever recorded in the history of space and time. But on the other, it will be almost impossible to beat this regardless of how long this show ends up being.
