10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Aug 3)

Ask any wrestling fan watching WCW in 2000 what the promotion's worst moment that year was and David Arquette becoming World Champ will surely be right up there.

The scrawny actor's win on an episode of Thunder that April will forever be remembered as one of the final nail's in WCW's coffin. That was the way fans and the media viewed it anyway. Backstage, things were a little different. Find out which ex-WCW Champion and future WWE legend credits Arquette's antics for putting him on the map.

Elsewhere, there are facts about short-lived SmackDown star Zach Gowan (you know, the kid with one leg who worked Vince McMahon at Vengeance 2003), Mick Foley's real thoughts on his Hell In A Cell legacy, Marc Mero's first meeting with Sable and more.

There's also a cool story about what WWE had planned for Hulk Hogan's Mr. America gimmick before it debuted, and another looking at how 1995 magician-turned-wrestler Phantasio almost burned the house down. Literally. In fairness, Vince McMahon rocking some pink hair extensions would do exactly the same.

That's a license to print money...
