Former WCW Champion David Arquette was recently interviewed by the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling. You can see the full podcast at this link, and highlights courtesy of Chad & John below.
Does Kid Rock being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame open the door for his induction and his time-spent guest hosting WWE RAW:
"I think and I totally approve of Kid Rock and he's got that whole vibe that is right but he was never the Champion. That's not my place to say that I should be in it or whatever but I was going through a divorce at the time (of RAW) so I was a little crazy and I had lost my voice and I took it upon myself to put down New Orleans (which I love that city) but I was just kind of playing the heel for a moment because I get it to get the crowd to hate you. But it was amazing to get put through a table by Randy Orton, I love that stuff and to me that was a fun opportunity and I really respect what WWE has done and the whole business and the history and what Vince McMahon's done in general with that business is just remarkable because they are super-smart. The whole family being involved I love all of that. So I am just good doing my thing and I'd love to be included in the world a little and I've been asked and I always find that a little hard to do because it is kind of odd but I like meeting the fans and I like all that so some point it will make sense to do something that might bring me back into the world a little more."
Receiving the endorsement from Ric Flair that he was accepted by the wrestlers:
It is such and inside world and I am such an outsider and there is some animosity and you want to play it safe and you don’t want to alienate the fans and you don’t want to get people upset in a way that isn’t helpful for the sport. But he (Vince) was great and Triple H was really helpful too in that process. Charles Robinson has always been super cool, “Mouth of the South” (Jimmy Hart) was amazing at that time and Ric Flair through his arm around me when I was kind of going through a hard time and he was telling me stories about running around the hotels with just the robe on and that he would lose the robe and have to find it by the end of that night and just great stories like that. But we were at the hotel bar one night and he threw his arm around me and it was towards the end and he said: “Listen up fellas. He’s one of us.” And that to me was like OH MAN thank you for that because I was such an outsider and people just hated me and they wanted me to have egg on my face and I totally understood it.
