RISE may be an all-female professional wrestling promotion, but that’s not stopping actor and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette. He will be participating at RISE 10’s development seminar on October 19th. It all goes down in Berwyn, Illinois, where those why tryout at the seminar are entered into RISE’s “prospective talent pool.”
Those talents could be used at RISE 10’s Insanity event later that evening. Here’s what RISE Executive Producer Kevin Harvey had to say on the matter:
“I know the decision to allow David in this Seminar will be a polarizing one,” Harvey said. “After speaking with David’s representatives, I firmly believe he has genuine interest in learning more about the incredibly complex world of professional wrestling.
“And, if David wants to have a match in RISE, he will have to do the same as everyone else in the Seminar. David will have to show us, and more importantly his prospective opponents, what he has got.”
It looks like many RISE alumni are on board with the move:
“We have received requests from virtually all women who’ve ever competed in RISE and a few who never have asking for the opportunity to welcome @DavidArquette to our ring. You probably don’t want to miss RISE 10 – INSANITY October 19 in Berwyn, IL. Tickets: http://pipeline.ecwid.com ”
