New Documentary Traces David Arquette’s Wrestling Redemption Arc

The documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette has nothing to do with immortality and everything to do with redemption.

For 12 days in 2000, David Arquette was WCW Champion. The decision to have Arquette carry the belt—the same one carried by Ric Flair, Sting, Vader, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Ron Simmons—was a disaster. A publicity stunt gone wrong, Arquette’s short run as champ seemingly highlighted every issue with the company, which was out of business less than a year later. Arquette was also out of wrestling, forever associated with the death of WCW.

Life continued, and the well-known actor returned to his craft.
