David Arquette is a former WCW World Champion, and the ridicule that came with that questionable decision-making in 2000 has lived with him ever since. Dave, a lifelong wrestling fan, is so set on making up for it and proving himself that he's returned to the ring this year.

As scary as working a death match with Nick Gage in November was though, seeing an old favourite's name pop up in his DM inbox was even freakier.

On Booker T's Heated Conversations podcast, Arquette laughed as he recalled logging on to check his messages only to see Sabu's name on the list. At first, he thought it was either a parody account or a rib from fans, but it turned out to be the ECW original himself. David didn't reveal what Sabu wanted to tell him.

It doesn't really matter, because this is hilarious even without knowing what was said. Arquette, recovering from a nasty cut he suffered during the Gage match, scratched his head and thought it was some elaborate joke when Sabu messaged.
