10 Phrases Guaranteed To Anger Most Wrestling Fans

Oh boy. I can practically feel everyone's buttocks clenching after reading that phrase. And hey, that's an understandable reaction to such an appalling combination of words.

It's tough to overstate how bad this move was for WCW. Although celebrities have been utilized regularly in professional wrestling, with varying degrees of success since the Rock n' Wrestling days, they're typically brought in for minor roles so the company can reap the boost in ratings without completely tarnishing their reputation among diehard fans.

But the decision to place the WCW Championship on David Arquette - as part of a shameless cross-promotion for the lame Ready to Rumble movie, no less - crossed a major line. It rightfully earned the fans' wrath.

The Fingerpoke of Doom may have kicked off WCW's eventual collapse, but Arquette winning the company's most prestigious title is what officially drained the company of any credibility it had left, leaving it a hollow husk that did not survive another year.

David Arquette's name appearing under the list of WCW World Heavyweight Champions with the likes of all-time greats Ric Flair, Sting, and Hulk Hogan, is a constant reminder of how dedicated WCW's creative team was to delegitimizing their own heritage.

The scars of that may never fully heal.
