All language subtitles for You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020) (You.Cannot.Kill.David.Arquette.2020.1080P.Amzn.Web-Dl.Ddp5.1.H.264-Ntg.m4v) (ENGLISH)

He won the WCW
championship when?

2000?

2000.

It is 20 fucking 19.

Take the chair!

Take the chair!

I'm sick and tired of
people like David Arquette.

He's never been trained.

He's a fucking joke!

I'm sick and tired of
people taking the piss!

Out of my business!

The new WCW World Heavyweight
Champion, my man, Mr. David Arquette.

Yeah!

And

to trust someone from Hollywood!

David Arquette, winning
the WCW championship.

I'm gonna basically
make this pretty short.

It was crap.

An untrained 150 pound
Hollywood actor wins one of

professional wrestling's most
prestigious championships.

Huh.

There's a whole locker
room full of guys in WCW.

You could all be
incredible world champions.

Out of all that, you
picked David Arquette.

I'm not buying it.

He doesn't have the size.

I don't know what the
hell they were thinking.

They basically made their title meaningless
when they strapped it around his waist.

It meant nothing.

I don't give a shit
about David Arquette.

You can't just walk in here and think
you're gonna do what we do every day.

David Arquette is
the wrestler's son.

It sucks.

It's not like David
Arquette's up there with

Hulk Hogan or Ric
Flair or Dusty Rhodes.

Dude, is this a joke?

He was a freaking...

I'm here to tell you a story
about a man created by God.

No!

A man created by Hollywood.

Not MacGyver.

Not Vin Diesel.

Not Stallone.

Not Schwarzenegger.

I'm talking about
David Arquette.

The man is invincible.

He was in Scream 1,
Scream 2, Scream 3.

If they make a Scream 4, he's
coming back as a goddamn cyborg.

He was in Ready to Rumble.

He was a WCW
champion for two weeks.

He was an eight-legged freak
when he battled Giant Spiders.

Giant Spiders, for God's sakes!

He was also in C-Spot Mud, but
only because he needed the money.

And that's why... You
cannot kill David Arquette!

You cannot kill David Arquette!

All right.

Well, first of all, I
like David Arquette.

Number two, he came into the Dresden area,
which was like sacred ground to all of us.

That had been in the business,
and he was a gentleman.

Would you give
him your blessing?

Do I give David my blessing?

As a person?

Yeah, of course.

As a wrestler?

No.

I'm trying to get carried away.

He's my hero when
I look at his wife.

I've never seen
Scream, which is insane.

In fact, I covered
Scream 4 for The Insider.

And I still didn't see the whole movie
because I hate scary movies so much.

I freak out.

David and I met on
an 80s boat party.

But before that, I went to NYU.

I was a journalist.

I interned for Hillary Clinton.

I worked in local news on
air for more than a decade.

Won an Emmy.

And ended up on
Entertainment Tonight.

And yeah, when I had my
kids, I left being a news reporter.

And now I'm kind
of getting back into it.

And I'm going to Arkansas soon
to produce my first feature film.

Okay.

So just call me back and let me
know if we need to troubleshoot.

We have the three kids.

We have Coco, my
stepdaughter, who's 14.

Charlie is 4.

Gus, who is 15 months.

So it's a circus.

And we have three basset hounds.

It's really insane here.

I always joke, actually,
it's not three kids, it's four.

There's Coco, Charlie,
Gus, and David.

There's a lot of kids in
the house running around.

Lady, no.

As interesting as wrestling
is, you know, he thinks...

feels like kind of crossing
over into that world caused

a lot of directors to not
necessarily take him seriously.

She is really good, isn't she?

...combinating to people who
want to do things differently.

We could get off the street.

At the start of David's career,
there was so much promise.

I mean, he was playing sophisticated roles,
and he was on this really good trajectory.

And then in the late 90s, he was on the
cover of the Hollywood edition of Vanity

Fair with that elite group of
movie stars, like Leonardo

DiCaprio and Matthew
McConaughey and Will Smith.

And those guys have all gone on to
be the biggest movie stars in the world.

And I think David
has a lot of sadness

around the fact that
he could have been that.

But instead, he went on
to do the Scream movies,

and he kind of became
typecast as a goofball.

And that's what everyone remembers
him as, the cop from Scream.

Gotta knock off a couple
more to get that title.

It was also around this time in
his life that things started to change.

He started getting weird.

And I think his involvement in
wrestling was kind of that last straw.

People did not get it.

They thought he was crazy.

And it really hurt his career.

In present time, my career
has been pretty crappy.

I mean, I've been auditioning for like
10 years without actually getting a role.

So that's like 10
years of rejection.

Like, who does that?

Who would go for 10
years of job interviews and

not get any and still
go out and get another?

You know, I have
another job interview today.

It's fucking crazy.

We met on Scream 1.

We hated each other Scream 2.

We got married Scream 3.

And we got divorced Scream 4.

That's some of the
roughest wrestling I've seen.

I used to go to wrestling matches
with him, and he would get so excited.

Yeah, it was a lot to handle to see
David at this point where, you know,

I was on Friends, and everything
was feeling pretty good with our careers.

And all of a sudden, he
wants to start wrestling.

I don't know.

He looked like he should
have been in Earth, Wind & Fire.

But instead, he was going to
wrestling matches, and he was loud.

And it was kind of insane.

I remember feeling embarrassed
because he was just...

There's nothing small about
the way he embraced wrestling.

World heavyweight champ, baby.

Yeah, right.

David, David, David.

You're not a wrestler!

You're not a wrestler!

Can you show a penis or no?

What...

What network is
this or whatever?

Penis-friendly environment?

These are some
of Alexis's paintings.

Toothless.

Look at David.

Good looks.

Good looking.

Too many dead
people in this book.

Our mom was a writer and a poet
and a teacher and loved mythology.

And our dad loved...

Puppetry.

He loved to play the ukulele,
and we all had clown noses.

It was a very
colorful childhood.

I mean, there was a lot of playing with
David and, you know, wrestling with David.

Okay, and a handball punch!

And you crumbled to the ground.

That was a reenactment.

It was like in my
periphery, wrestling.

Like, oh, that's a joke.

But it was like something
little kids were watching.

And I was kind of
surprised by it, honestly.

It was kind of the
first major left turn.

David wants love.

And they never gave him the proper
love for him showing up in that world.

I was the heavyweight
champion of the world!

Thanks to my buddy, Eric Bishop!

There were certain rules.

One of which was don't let celebrities
come in and take advantage of wrestling.

Don't expose the business by making it look
like anybody, celebrity or non-celebrity.

Anybody could come in off the
street and actually beat a wrestler.

The fact that you won the belt
is what broke the unwritten rule.

You never do that.

You didn't know the culture,
but that wasn't your fault.

That was my fault
for letting it happen.

You can blame me.

You know, the idea was big.

You know, toss it around and get David
Arquette involved and get him in the ring.

You know, he would
get us headlines.

And I'm not really
sure whose idea it was.

I think it was Vince
Russo's idea originally.

Did it accomplish
what you wanted?

It accomplished
exactly what I wanted.

You're on the
cover of USA Today.

Thank you.

All the newspapers.

You transcend wrestling.

Which is that very...
Well, not transcended it.

Right then and there, I think
I killed a business forever.

I loved wrestling as a kid.

Like, it was, you know,
something I followed.

I was obsessive about it.

So, when I was part of
the whole wrestling thing,

I was kind of like just
a kid in a candy store.

I mean, like, seeing
behind the curtain.

Then it all became,
like, really intense.

And, like, you know what I mean?

To find people spitting at you
and throwing shit at you and just,

like, saying the worst
things you could ever hear.

The plan would be just to sort
of clear my name, in a sense.

And, through the
process, honor wrestling.

You know what I mean?

I don't want to be a
smear on its history.

So, we're going to Detroit, and I'm
gonna talk to Brian Nobbs, one of the two

members of the Nasty
Boys, to see if I can make

an appearance at his
Legends of Wrestling event.

Like, their theme song
says, the Nasty Boys have

a reputation for being
the bad boys of wrestling.

So, it's gonna take some
convincing for Brian to let me fight.

They're wrestling tomorrow.

They come in somehow.

If I can get approved by the commission,
the crowd would be hot about it.

You know what I mean?

It'd be the start of a thing.

I've been going for a while
now, so... I know, man.

I got you, I got you.

But I'm just saying...
I'm just doing business.

He's a fucking asshole.

What's your problem, bro?

That's my partner.

Get that fucking hands up!

Get that fucking hands up!

Get that fucking hands up!

Get that fucking hands up!

Get that fucking hands up!

Stop it!

Just talk about something!

Can we even talk?

I'm sorry, bro!

There's a lot of history
attached to this whole thing.

That's kind of the story.

That's why they got so heated.

History's years and
years of families.

Generational history.

Coming up, people destroying
their bodies for this love.

That they have for wrestling.

So then the chosen few that
become real champions and, like,

not me, but real guys that
have given their lives for it.

You know, they're 40 years old
and seeing their knees are gone.

You know what I mean?

I understand it.

I get it.

I think a lot of wrestling has to do
with pride and heritage and legacy.

That's what people think.

People got really upset
about that I was an outsider.

I don't really care about being
a champ or anything like that.

I care about respect.

I never got to wrestle.

I mean, I got to take some bumps
and, you know, move the story along.

But I never got a chance to do
anything that the fans would enjoy.

Just sort of figure
out this world.

That's really what
I want to know.

What is wrestling about?

You know, why do
fans love it so much?

Why did they get so mad at me?

I'd love to be able to wrestle.

Trained.

Properly trained.

I want to train with a real trainer
and just prove myself in some way.

And that's sort of the thing.

I want to... I'm an actor.

I want to become a wrestler.

They didn't really
let us do anything.

I had to, um...

I just had to buy a ticket
and go in by myself.

You're a sensitive person, so why
are you putting yourself through this?

Yeah, I mean, it's like I'm not
part of the family, which I get it.

But you're kind of not.

I mean, don't you understand?

Sorry.

I'm a carnivore.

I'm a carnivore at heart.

I'm a carny.

You had two stints
placed in your car.

The coronary
arteries of the heart.

To prevent blood clots
from forming inside the

stint, you are taking two
blood-thinning medications.

If somebody punches
you in the face or head or

belly or anywhere, you
could bruise and or bleed.

Internally?

Right.

Now, what about, like, if, like, a
300-pound guy jumped on me?

Is there, like, a
chance of, like...

Well, that can do
a lot of damage.

I don't know if he can
wear a helmet during...

That would be a funny gimmick.

Are you a fan of wrestling?

Not really.

His anxiety is crippling, and what
his psychiatrist found is a lot of people,

when you're anxious, you're able
to, like, actually calm yourself down,

but David's always in
a state of such anxiety

that he never can
really calm himself down.

Don't hit me, Dad!

No, no, no!

I mean, there is an element that
nobody really wants to grow up, you know?

You want to, like...

I love the way
kids see the world.

I hate growing up.

What's your name?

David.

David.

I'm David.

How is the drinking going?

Are you able to control it, or are
you just completely out of control?

No, I control it.

I mean, I drink... You know, I have my
wild nights once in a while, but... Right.

And, uh... Are you an alcoholic?

Yeah, I am.

I guess I... You're a
functioning alcoholic.

I guess so.

Yeah.

You know, I drink a lot.

If you have children, if you have family,
loved ones, and so on, is there a degree

of selfishness to coming back, if
you're an addict, into that world again?

I try, uh...

I try to keep, you know, the addict inside
me in check, and also the self-critical

voice in check, and... I started
drinking more just to sort of, like...

I wasn't... I was unhappy.

Uh-huh.

You know, I wasn't
being true to myself.

Yeah.

Just to recap, David, real
quickly, how this sort of works.

So, you know, ketamine sort of gives
us a rapid antidepressant effect, and it'll

give us sort of a window of opportunity
where your mood is a little bit more

manageable, and you feel, you know,
a little bit lighter, a little bit better,

maybe a little bit less prone to,
like, kind of fall down that hole that,

you know, you're
kind of starting in.

Keep up the... keep up
with the positive thinking,

because we're going to give
the infusion of ketamine now.

Yeah, yeah.

So...

Yes!

Yes!

Thank you!

Thank you, guys.

This thing is so dope!

I'm awesome!

I love you so much.

This is the fucking game!

And it's so fucking dope!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, guys!

Guys, guys, guys, guys!

Ketamine!

Uh-uh-uh!

Oh!

We had so... love is love.

Life is life.

I'm happy you're happy.

No!

But I wanted to-Stop
it, mother fucker!

No!

Hey!

Stop!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!!!

David, shh.

Okay.

Just sit down in your room.

Okay, go go go, guys.

Okay, lie down.

David!

David, we need to do that.

We need boomba.

Come on, buddy.

Rest, David.

Okay.

Just relax.

Good job.

Just relax.

Sit back and relax.

Put the monitors on.

Yeah, just relax.

Ketamine is what we call
a dissociative anesthetic.

Psychiatrists and
medicine is using it now for

its rapid and acute
antidepressant effects.

There's a lot going
on with David.

There's a lot going
on both sort of

psychologically slash
kind of personality-wise.

Also kind of childhood-wise.

Also brain-wise.

This is David's brain sort of at rest when
he was just sitting on the scanner and not

engaged in any particular task.

What's notable about this scan
is that the anterior component

of his frontal cortex is smaller
than would be expected.

And sometimes that can
happen with psychiatric conditions.

Also it can sort of be the result if
there's been any damage to the brain in

terms of like a car accident,
traumatic brain injury.

Which he had, yeah.

Frankly, his results
were like very complex.

Yeah, it was like
layers and layers.

Yeah, yes.

I guess the take-home
message for David is that

his brain isn't connected
in a typical way.

Our grandfather, Cliff Arquette,
was this comedian, Charlie Weaver,

who was on The Jack Parr
Show and Hollywood Squares.

And then our father, Louis
Arquette, was a character actor.

He had parts on The Waltons
and he would do commercials.

My family moved to Virginia
to move to a commune.

They started it with a bunch
of their friends and they

wanted to kind of build
this little utopian society.

And David was born
there on the commune.

No electricity, no bathroom, no running...
I don't think there was running water even.

I mean, my dad
had a lot of issues.

My mom had a lot of issues.

She was abusive to
us when we were little.

I mean, she choked me to the point
once where I started blacking out.

I think David was impacted by feeling like
he needed to be the perfect son and you

cannot fix it being the
best kid in the world.

You just can't.

My dad was just like
my favorite funny person.

He died when I was 29.

I loved watching wrestling with my dad
and he actually did the voice to Jimmy

Superfly Snuka and he was
one of my favorite wrestlers.

You take one more step toward her
and you'll see why they call me Superfly!

Yeah!

So I have this promoter who called about
me doing a signing in Richmond, Virginia.

So I'm going to call him up.

Hey man, how are you?

I'm good.

I'm so excited.

Thanks for thinking
of me for this thing.

Absolutely, man.

We've got the signing
going on for you.

Then we've got RSW.

We've got you there.

It's one of the hottest
promotions on the East Coast.

Oh, thanks man.

Well, I'm excited.

I'm not sure I'm allowed
to fight yet, but I can

maybe get in the ring
and crash talk someone.

Yeah, man.

We can't wait to see you.

Okay, you too.

Alright, brother.

Bye.

Okay.

I guess that's good.

I'm not ready to
wrestle right now.

I'm in no shape.

One thing I don't want to do is
go back into the ring unprepared.

Not with the right music and
gimmick and costume and persona.

Who is it?

Who am I?

So we'll see how this goes.

It sounds a little shady.

Can you help me with... I
have to find some costumes.

So this is like a fire
retardant suit, but this

is not exactly the kind
of thing I'm looking for.

And these are my
blockbuster awards.

The Drama Teachers
Association of Southern California

High School Film Festival
Individual Humorous Award.

Second place.

Look, Kanye.

Here.

Here's it.

Here.

Here's it.

I think this is the
one with the...

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

So this is crazy wizard's cape.

Wizard's cape.

And I think if I take
the... if I take this collar

off, I can do like a Ric
Flair kind of... Oh yeah.

Yeah, that's a good one.

I think if I take this collar off, I can
do like a Ric Flair kind of... Oh yeah.

Yeah, that's a good one.

Hello.

We've got our client.

Hi.

Hi there.

David.

Hi David, I'm Craig.

Hey Craig.

What's up, how are you?

What are we going to do for you?

I'm going to a wrestling... like a signing
convention and I need to sign pictures.

Amazing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Alright.

Can you help me?

Yep.

Hey, you are godlike.

You are the man.

I know nothing stays the same.

Oh yeah, David.

Move this way one step.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Right there.

Awesome.

Now we'll get my
light in position.

And on three.

Hold on.

One, two, and three.

Oh.

Oh my goodness.

We got some flame action.

This elbow here.

Okay.

And this goes underneath.

Oh.

Oh, chin down, chin down.

Oh, perfect.

Perfect.

You are the best
photographer I ever worked with.

Thank you so much.

Dad, what?

This seems like the
dumbest idea I've ever heard.

One, you dress up like a wizard.

I don't know.

It is too wizardy.

I would take this off.

Oh my god.

I'm just kind of sick of being
a joke, to be honest with you.

If you're part of the joke, it's not
as painful as if you are the joke.

Hollywood doesn't
take me seriously.

The sort of media
thinks I'm a bit of a joke.

I mean, a lot of these people
haven't seen what I can do in a ring.

Okay.

Come on, Scooter.

Let's go.

He killed the business.

And a belt that a guy
like Ric Flair or Harley

Race, a guy like Sting,
Ricky Steamboat, held.

It actually honestly
pisses me off.

Because the guys that rode the roads and
do what we do right now, busting their ass

for their families, you know how many
times I've missed Christmas with my family?

How many times I've
missed anniversaries?

And a guy from Hollywood gets to
hold the greatest title in the world?

How much are they?

Ten.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's so cool.

Thank you, man.

You got it?

So tonight we're going to
a backyard wrestling thing.

But it's a real match.

You know what I mean?

So I have all
these magic tricks.

Like I have this big stick I can
make appear out of nowhere.

But it's pretty big.

And then I can hit him with it.

Because it's the first person
that's invited me, really.

Dave's got a passion
for this business.

And I'd like to see him
succeed in making a return to

this sport and having fun
doing what he loves to do.

And if I can do anything to help
him, to get him where he needs to be,

I'm going to do it.

I mean, Macho Man mainly
went with the elbow off the top.

Yeah, right.

Off the top rope, brother.

And man, I miss him.

I miss the Macho Man.

I do, too.

He was so great, man.

Ooh, yeah.

You know, these guys, granted, you
know, they don't know what they're doing.

You're going to be
back in business again.

Thank you.

Brother, you're going to be
in a ring redeeming yourself.

David Arquette's going to learn a
little thing about respecting the business.

When he steps in this yard with us,
who are serious about what we do,

he's going to love it.

Paying dues in order
to get where we are.

So this is it, huh?

Look.

Okay.

It's a backyard wrestling
company, but the main thing is here.

We're here to have fun.

All right?

Cool with that?

Yeah.

I love to have fun.

I mean, I'm in the fun business.

Awesome.

So what I just need for you to do is
get changed whenever you're ready.

Come on out.

I didn't think it was going to be,
like, thousands of people anyway,

but I don't think
there's anybody here.

They're just a bunch of kids
having fun, and I like to have fun.

So we'll be silly.

We'll have fun.

I'm trying this new gimmick out.

So it's time to unleash
the Macho Man.

Introducing first, making his way to
the ring, from Prince George, Virginia,

Eli Jordan!

Let me hear it one more time!

Fuck you!

So the ring collapsed at the bottom,
so what we're going to do is we're going

to jack it up, get some
2x4s and some tires, and

we're going to get this
thing back on the road again.

You crazy bastards have
been jumping and flipping all

over on this damn thing, and
there was never a bolt there?

I was in jail when
this was built.

He is the NBYWA International
Heavyweight Champion!

This is the Extreme
Massacre, Corey Jacobs!

CW Champion!

He is David R.

Shut up!

No!

I am!

The Magic Man!

Are you serious right now?

I am.

The Magic Man!

Hollywood Magic!

I'm a star, baby!

You're not a real champion!

This is sad.

Fucking pussy, get in here!

Respect me!

Get in my ring!

And respect me!

Hey, don't kill yourself!

Did you do that?

The Magic Man is at
you before you disappear!

Corey!

Oh!

Oh!

The Magic!

You got me big time!

Oh!

Watch out!

My magic is at me!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Yeah!

Dude, he's low!

Let's go, Hollywood!

Look at this!

This is what you want, right?

To come back
into wrestling, right?

Yeah, he's ready!

He's not ready!

He's gonna crash out of here!

Yeah!

Let's go!

Come on!

Let's go!

He's done!

Get in here!

Bro, I think he's done.

Bro, I think he's done.

Somebody tell me fast!

Oh, no!

Holy shit!

Oh, crap!

Holy shit!

Oh, my God!

Come on!

Oh, my God!

Woo!

Come on!

Help me!

Come on, Robbie!

Oh, no!

Oh, damn!

Stop that!

Oh, damn!

No, he's not!

Bro!

Oh, my God!

Holy!

No!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

I feel like

we gave him a
microcosm of wrestling.

Like, if he wants to really get in,
he dealt with the shitty promoter who

gassed his head up, gave him all the
promises in the world, and he came in here

and got his ass up
and didn't even get paid.

If that's not
wrestling, I don't care.

I hope he can learn about
what wrestling really is and get

that heart for it and come
out here every day like we do.

I really hope he does.

Are you serious about
getting back in this sport?

Yeah.

I mean, serious.

Do you want to do...

what I do?

Do you want to do
what Ric Flair does?

Do you want to do what
Jimmy Valiant does?

Do you want to do
what's in your heart to do?

I do.

Okay.

Then let's get
you some training.

Okay.

Don't make me get in there and
show you what to do, because

you ain't gonna like it if I
got to get in there and do it.

Drop down, leapfrog!

I know I need training.

And last night was like
a big example of that.

I mean, I went in the hard
way, but you have to train.

You have to, you know,
wrestle with professionals.

I mean, you want to do it right.

All right, boys.

Y'all ready?

Let's do it.

And you'll get the feel for it.

We'll be doing this, doing this.

All of a sudden, you
know what he said?

Just nice knee.

Number one.

Lock it up.

Lock it up.

Make it look good.

Arquette comes down here and he thinks
everything's gonna be all peachy and cream.

Arquette, when he got here,
he's all laughing and joking.

Well, you don't see him
laughing and joking now.

He's sweating out there.

He's waiting for a water break.

He may not get a
water break today.

All right?

This ain't the movies.

We don't have stunt doubles.

You do it yourself here.

So when he's out there,
he's learning, okay?

He's learning.

I don't know what he wants to get
out of this, you know, but he's learning.

And he's learning
the right way to do it.

So now he's got a
good idea of what it's

really like to be in
there with the big boys.

It felt

really good to train.

Though I learned some of this
stuff you know, 18 years ago.

I didn't have a training
session quite like that

where it's really teaching
you the fundamentals.

What I love about
wrestling is the majesty.

Like, it's larger than life.

It's this, you know,
mythological world

where there's the good
guys and the bad guys.

They're like gods.

It's funny.

I've been watching it a lot.

I've watched a lot
of, like, old matches.

And it's all, like, coming back to
me, like, why I fell in love with it.

You know, who...

It occurred to me, like,
when I was watching

Macho Man that I was in
love with Miss Elizabeth.

Like, she... she literally,
she looks like my wife, dude.

She looks like Christina.

God bless you, girl.

What are your feelings
about possibly me doing this?

Doing it again.

I don't like this.

You don't like this idea?

Why?

What are your thoughts, Charlie?

Should I wrestle again?

Yeah.

That's my boy.

How does Christina
feel about this?

She's on the fence, for sure.

She's afraid of going home.

I've loved wrestling
my whole life.

I was looking online,
and I'm pretty sure I

found myself ringside
at Andre the Giant match.

Yeah, yeah.

On top of the fact that it's, like, really
bad timing, you haven't asked me.

You have to,
like, ask me, right?

I know.

I'm sort of asking
you right now.

It's not fair.

Thank you.

We can talk about it.

It sounds like a dream.

It sounds like a dream.

Like, you are dreaming.

It's not a reality.

I don't know why
I have to do it.

I got to do it.

It's just something I got to do.

You got to... You don't know
how these guys treat me.

How you doing, buddy?

Ah, not bad.

I just started wrestling again,
and people are still giving me crap.

It's all right, buddy.

Don't take it personally.

Easy for you to say.

Why do you think
they hate me so much?

Because... you never
deserve to be the champion.

Yeah, why don't you mind
your own business, pal?

Yeah?

Well, then, let's settle this.

In the ring.

Dun dun, Tony.

Get back.

There's no Ken-There's
no Ken-Buster.

Fight.

Whoa, hey.

One, two, three!

It's going up top!

One, two, three!

Diamond Dallas Page tried
to tell him it was a bad idea.

But beyond that, like,
what could we do about it?

The last thing on the planet that David
Arquette wanted to do ...was become a

heavyweight world champion because
he actually respected this sport and when

they told me the finish
that day, I laughed.

I go and tell David, he's like,
no, no, dude, we can't do that.

It's the biggest disgrace in professional
wrestling history, but I couldn't do it

because I have a booker that
tells me what needs to be done.

So let me ask you, if you were in his
spot and they said, we're going to put the

world title on you, we all
know you wouldn't do it, right?

Hello.

Hello.

Jerry.

My VFF.

My VFF.

David has lost
his mind yet again.

He's going down to Mexico to train
with the wrestler Diamond Dallas Page.

I would feel better
knowing that you were there.

David and Jerry met five
years ago at the Super Bowl.

Jerry was wearing a first
responders Sandy Hook t-shirt

and David went up to him
and said, do you have a ticket?

And Jerry said, no.

And he said, do you
want to go with me?

And that's how they met
and they became best friends.

Can you leave
tomorrow for Mexico?

99% chance, yes.

I just got to get the permission
from my boss at the cop shop.

Okay.

I don't see it being a problem.

Adios, amigo.

Have you walked around?

No, I just got here, man.

Look at that.

Look at that.

Whoa.

There's something in there.

Solid rig.

You know how to lock up?

You know how to lock up?

Like that.

Don't do that.

He's an actual cop!

Get over here.

I need you to train
me how to wrestle.

Why?

Why do you want to
get back in the ring?

Because it hurts.

Because, you know, it's been 18 years
of people thinking I disrespected the belt

and disrespected wrestling
and I never meant to.

I mean, I want to,
I'm 46 years old.

I love wrestling.

I just really want to
try it one more time.

I just need some
guidance from you.

If you're willing to walk
the talk, I'll guide you, dude.

You know?

Thanks, man.

And get ready for all the pitfalls because
people are going to shit all over it.

I know.

When you get out there and you're
in the middle of all this, you can do it.

Little by little, that's
what you're going to learn.

And when you don't know,
when you're working out, ask.

Ask questions.

You got this, bro.

Thanks, bro.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

Are you ready to train?

Yeah, man.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go.

Lucha!

Right there.

We got a few.

Thanks.

All right.

Throw it right up in here.

All right.

Legs.

Is that right?

This leg up?

Yeah.

This leg here?

Yes.

Okay.

Fuck!

One more time.

One more time.

Sorry.

I got you.

I'll just jump up there.

Just do it.

I'll take care of you.

Okay.

If he can't anymore, we're going
to have to get him out of the gym.

Even when you're so
close to the ground, you're

going to have to get
him out of the clothesline.

I'm ducking it.

All right.

Come on.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Come on!

Yeah!

Damn.

Gracias, Iguero.

Oh, this is street wrestling.

Come on.

I'm not getting you
something out here, am I?

Are you ready?

Do I get wearable?

You want me to wear a mask?

Yeah, a mask.

Shit.

You got it or something?

Thank you.

No, no.

Sorry, I didn't get anything.

Sorry, I didn't get any money.

Sorry I didn't get any money.

No, no.

I said no.

Relax.

You're ready?

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Okay.

Good man.

They say, you're ready.

Oh, f**k!

I want to see it!

I want to see it!

I want to see it!

I want to see it!

Yes!

Well done!

I have nothing more to say.

Let's get started!

You guys can't shoot me
without my mask on now, so...

Oh, look at you!

Handsome girls!

He is a manager.

Mr. Maldito gave
me his mask, bro.

What?

He signed me a gaming one.

No.

It's so fucking dope.

That's unbelievable, bro.

That's an honor.

Thank you.

Right?

Yeah!

Scorpions.

Fuck.

Fucking wrestling.

Thank you so much.

Muchas gracias.

I

have a really big
announcement to make, and I'd

like to make it here on
the Wendy Williams Show.

I'd like to announce...

my return to
professional wrestling!

What is he doing?

It's really major anxiety.

And so he's like, it's like in his
sternum area, and it's really sore.

He says it feels like...

you know, the same
thing that we called about

in the past with the
ribs and everything.

I have to go to my doctor just to make
sure I don't have any internal bleeding.

But I have to wrestle, so...

I'll get it just to
know if I'm bleeding.

Did you have a car accident?

A what?

Car accident or... No, I'm a
wrestler, and I had a wrestling injury.

Mr. Atkins?

Yes, hi.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

Obviously, we know you
had several fractures in

your ribs from the CAT
scan report itself... Right.

...that were actually
very small but significant.

If the ribs actually break, they can
actually puncture your lung, which is what

gets more concerning... I
hate when that happens.

...if you actually puncture your
lung or actually bleed into your lungs.

So... But I'm cleared to fight.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

It gives.

You know, it's not like hitting
concrete, because it does give.

We own this?

Yeah, you own this.

So we don't have
to play around in it.

Oh, this is the right one.

It's Monday.

Monday, Monday,
probability wheels break.

Oh, that's something!

If you do not as much as me, we
want to know what are you doing.

you know, when they've known
people for nobody, they did it for Mr.

Monday.

Buddy?

Well, you guys don't need to
make comedy earning, we're

all good with that, so you
can go and play with me.

Send good vibes and know
that he's going to be okay.

If you're just joining us, I'm
calling out David Arquette.

I don't know what your deal is.

You think you're better than me?

You think you're
a better wrestler?

You play Dr. Tucker in
Muppets from Space?

I think you overacted and
you brought down the film.

Why are you calling me out, bro?

I didn't do anything.

I elevated the Muppet movie.

We got David Arquette.

He was at the 350 Days premiere.

And all of a sudden, he's
just like posing pictures.

And RJ City comes up,
starts like pushing him.

And then they get into like a
little scuffle on the red carpet.

Tallulah, is this stuff for
wrestlers in the covers?

Yeah, the second show.

Is there any body parts?

Any kind of like sheen
you could put on?

Oh, don't worry about that.

Okay.

I think my favorite scene is
probably everyone's favorite scene.

But when you're
with Rose McGowan.

Just that whole scene how you say
you took Spanish a bunch of times.

Or like when she
takes her shirt off.

I feel like I'm melting.

I am melting.

Oh my...

How are you guys?

Who is that person?

No, it's so scary.

Come on, baby.

It's a ridiculous
world I'm in right now.

What are you going to do when you go
to your movie and you show up like that?

Oh, shit.

The wrestling world remembers
him for being the WCW

World Heavyweight Championship
that he won 18 years ago.

And making his in-ring return
here at Championship Wrestling Hall.

It's a sport.

No matter what anyone says.

But it's just a
theatrical sport.

It's like a play on steroids.

When wrestlers win titles, it's like if
you were in a play and you were the king.

And you were so proud
and you thought it was so

real that you took the
crown home and wore it.

What are you doing?

This is a show.

Let's all calm
down, your majesty.

Let's relax.

So, yeah, I think so
you drop your robe.

Streamers on the steps.

Drop them out to the
sides of the... Yeah.

Half will go to the people, half
will go towards the entrance.

That'll look cool.

Is it good at the people?

Yeah, absolutely.

Okay, good.

And then from there, you take them off
and you're getting on the pedestal, right?

And I put my hand
down here and with my

hand, when I strike
the Michelangelo's pose.

I come down.

One, two, three.

Check him off.

He goes rolling right out.

I don't know what just happened.

I'm lost.

You whipped me with the belt.

What is he doing?

This is fucking horrible.

He goes to get off those steps.

I whip him again.

Bang!

He goes...

I said, ring the
bell, ring the bell.

And I go, I charge, I sweep your
feet and I start grabbing the handle.

And you push me off.

We do a slip slam.

Yeah.

I get up.

I celebrate.

Turn around and you
poke me in the eye.

Your ass.

Ah!

I can't see.

You scrape my back.

I turn around and you
start beating the shit out.

And I stumble toward the middle of
the ring and you double axe handle me.

You get me and whip me in the
corner and then you tag and slap me.

That kind of wakes me up.

Whoa, wait a second.

What the fuck is going on?

He's fired up, he spins me
around, he slaps me back.

That slap is a bit like...
Yeah, you mother...

I turn him around, dirty back
chop, and then he goes...

Gives me a back
elbow, hits me in the gut,

hits me with another
chop, and the big forearm.

He's like, oh, I'm doing it!

You cut me off with the knee.

You put me up
in the pile driver.

Rip his head off!

I wiggle out, and I... Just kick
my head off, right under the chin.

I got my hand, I'm saying, I got
my hand up, just aim, and like...

I get an idea.

Ah, the corner.

I go for my crown,
and I jump down.

That's really, that's gonna
be really, really good.

Boom.

One, two...

Three.

Here is your winner...

RJ City!

RJ City upset at the big return.

Hey, we're gonna get you some
ice for that goose egg, dude.

Oh, yeah, that was dope.

Thanks, bro.

Thank you for all your help.

Wrestling's not fake, guys.

Wrestling's not fake.

That was fucking...
look at it, come on.

That was amazing.

Oh, my God.

I know.

Oh, his back!

His back is just like...
Oh, I know, that's bad.

Oh, my God, should we get you
the... Did you like the show, though?

Did you like the ad?

The show was amazing.

No, that was good.

Can I get five
pictures with you?

That's all I knew.

That's okay.

You had a house full of
people chanting your name.

I know.

It begs the question,
are we gonna see you

back in Championship
Wrestling from Hollywood?

I'll be back, you know.

I just don't know
if I'll be in the ring.

Thank you both.

I know.

You gotta squeeze it
out of there to get a show.

As the match progressed, he got more
comfortable and more confident in what he

was doing, but, you know, the more
repetitions he gets, the easier that's

gonna be where he can just
be confident the whole time and

come out with that stage
presence and just own the moment.

Last night, Mom, was the most
insane thing in the whole world.

But, like, it's
very entertaining.

I'm, like, a lot less
embarrassed than I was before.

It was kind of fun.

Yeah.

Oh, he's a wizard.

No, he's not a wizard.

I promise you.

Oh, I don't like any of this.

Look at Dad.

Look at him killing it.

Oh, God.

Yeah!

I can do this for every one
of your bones in your body.

No, I like it.

I like it.

What happens if you break
your neck or something?

I don't know.

Oh.

Yeah!

One of my favorite moments
was Coco flipping him off.

She was so upset.

It's very real.

It's very painful.

It's realer than I ever knew.

It's so hard.

I can't believe these guys do this all
the time and, like, travel all the time.

You know, when I went
out there, I'm not David

the Hollywood fuck-up
that some people think I am.

David, your brother,
Arquette, is now wrestling.

He had a heart attack,
and now he's wrestling.

When did he have a heart attack?

I didn't know that.

Yeah, he did.

How long ago?

A year ago, a
year and a half ago.

I did not know that.

Yeah.

Wow.

Does it make you
nervous to watch him?

Yeah, it really scares me.

So, I actually don't watch the matches
because it would terrify me too much.

Really, I'm just, like,
blown away by everything.

He's lost 50 pounds.

He's quit smoking, drinking.

He looks like a superhero.

There's, like, an element
of it that I'm like, this is great.

He's getting healthy and
taking good care of himself.

But then you put in the layer of, like,
you're getting beat up and thrown around.

And you're getting beat
up and thrown around in a

wrestling ring by a bunch of
wrestlers, which is not safe.

I didn't expect him to
work this hard, to be honest.

I thought this was just
gonna be like, oh, yeah, I'll

go to the gym and then
bounce off around in the ring.

And he's, like,
really a wrestler.

David has a lot of buzz
around him right now.

So, it's kind of cool.

Like, the wrestling world's
opening up their arms

to David and wanting him
to come to a lot of events.

Indie fans are
the die-hard fans.

They're the lifeblood of
the wrestling business.

And so, to redeem, to
get the respect of the indie

fans, I mean, that's a
true redemption right there.

My whole life kind of revolves
around wrestling sometimes.

I'm here in Chicago, coming to watch
the greatest wrestler, David Arquette,

team up with RJ City.

I can't believe I'm here.

I'm in a different place than

I was in the old days.

Oh, what the... Look at

that nice hat I gave you.

That hat is in the dumpster
with all your DVDs!

He's 46 years old.

He is so impressive.

That was impressive.

What's going to happen at these
kind of shows with the crowd?

They can be very unpredictable.

I mean, they could have
booed David out of the building.

This is for real.

And he's really doing it, and I
think that's the buzz I'm hearing.

Squeeze it in!

Does it look alright?

Because I'm a wrestler,
but I'm also crafty.

I don't know if these
glasses are a good idea.

What's going to happen
to Arquette out there?

Death, man.

And destruction.

After

a wrestling death match.

You're about to see
what David Arquette does.

This is crazy.

The video is starting.

I think David Arquette
is starting to freak out.

I think David Arquette needs
to go back to the film industry.

I'm sitting here watching these
two dumb, stupid motherfuckers.

They're using fucking gimmicks
that won't work with them.

You want to put
your body on the line.

To that extent, it's
a steep price to pay.

One of the scariest things I've ever
seen in all my years as a wrestling fan.

We almost saw a man
die in the middle of...

David Arquette is wrestling?

Did you know this?

That guy stabbed him
in the fucking head.

He just got sober
a few years ago.

And he's doing this to
keep life exciting for him.

You know what I mean?

Is that why he's doing it?

Or it just doesn't have
any movie roles coming in?

All these massive shit.

I'm not taking that.

I love it.

The idea of sort of getting back into
wrestling to a physician or mental health

clinician that, you know,
that's a red flag, right?

Because pain is a
trigger for for a relapse.

You know, he
hasn't been training.

There was such a high
hopes that something like

wrestling would be used in
a way to really get healthy.

It's like, what the
fuck is going on?

Like, what is the
point of all of this?

It's so strange that
right after that death

match David's life just
kind of became unglued.

One of his dear friends, Luke
Perry, passed away suddenly.

And the irony is that at that
death match you know, Luke was

the one taking him to the
hospital and in the car with him.

He is a fucking mess.

Two years ago
it's a heart attack.

Two years later
it's a death match.

So what does that
mean for next year?

Is he going to be
here next year?

I'm just like worried
he's going to die.

That's really the big
issue here is that he's

going to die and our
marriage does not survive.

I'm a mess, bro.

I'm a fucking mess.

I've been a mess my whole life.

And I'll probably be a
mess the rest of my life.

I'm so sober.

I'm just...

I'm just a piece of work.

Christina is away producing her first film
and I'm here just watching Miss Elizabeth.

It's kind of tough.

So the crazy thing is I have
this one match with Mr. Anderson.

And it's at the Legends
of Wrestling the same

event that I was
kicked out of last year.

So I'm excited to be invited.

Mr. Anderson just thinks I'm a bit of
a joke and isn't taking me seriously.

So it's one last time I have to really
prove myself and show someone that that I

got what it takes.

I'm not scared of him.

I'm not scared of anyone.

I do understand
why people got upset.

But I've always wanted
to jump into the ring.

I'm part of a world that I've
always loved and respected.

These people are heroes of mine.

The match where I
wrestled Jeff Jarrett and DDP

that was one of the
greatest days of my life.

I like to think that good people will
always come out on top in the end.

Wrestling greats will be in town
for the Legends of Wrestling event.

You know who else will be there?

Well, wrestler and
actor David Arquette.

How are you?

It's good seeing you again.

Your most fit you've ever been.

Lost the weight?

Let me tell you what.

After tomorrow he's going to
fucking reevaluate everything.

I'm coming for you David.

I'm coming.

Alright fans, here we are.

One of the biggest
events of the year.

Legends of Wrestling at
the Fraser Hockeyland Arena.

10,000 fans in
attendance to see this main

event as Ken Anderson
takes on David Arquette.

It's great to be back here.

I remember last year I
met David right out here.

Right out in the parking lot.

But he just he just
seemed out of it.

I don't know if he was drunk
but he was just... I don't know.

And I know he's gotten
in good shape not like this.

But David Arquette
is the real thing.

And he's my buddy.

This forever to me
will be a special night.

I grew up loving wrestling.

He was super into it.

He was always very supportive.

He'd come to all the shows.

It was awesome for me to be
able to share this with David.

I almost cried there at the end.

I think I did a little bit.

But I wasn't really
expecting that.

But you know, he's family.

You're an incredible fighter.

And you're going
to great places.

I love your father dearly.

And I love you.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Vinny.

But I got something
for you, David.

But I got something
for you, David.

Anyone can be a champion!

Anyone can be a champion!

Happy birthday.

I wanted to do something
for you for your birthday.

Yeah, brother.

How could you hear Mr. David Arquette,
you know, brag about being in the WC?

In all seriousness,
David, happy birthday.

You walk out and
fans like touch you.

You know, touch your hand.

That's like, that's the coolest.

It's that connection.

Or like when you get
hit or something, you

turn to the fan like,
this guy's gonna kill me.

You make like a
direct connection.

with the fan in the moment.

Fuck you, David Arquette!

Fuck you, Vinny!

It's not like it's real.
