Game Changer Wrestling, who are best known for their branded events with Joey Janela, Matt Riddle and other wrestlers, recently held Joey Janela’s LA Confidential. The event was headlined by a death match between actor and former WCW Champion David Arquette going up against Nick Gage in a death match. It was a predictably bloody affair, and ended quickly after Arquette suffered a nasty injury where his neck was sliced.
“People are trashing Gage like he forced Arquette into it or sprung it on him without prior consent,” said GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale to Pro Wrestling Sheet. “Arquette specifically requested everything that was used in the match and more.”
Lauderdale went on to reveal that there was a camera crew that filmed David Arquette’s trip to the ER, and that actor Luke Perry was by his side. They’re currently working on a documentary about Arquette, and Lauderdale isn’t sure that everything seen on the pay-per-view was legitimately as severe as it seemed. “I’m also starting to wonder if Arquette himself either planned it this way,” said the promoter, “or [David] was playing [the injury] up for the documentary cameras with Luke Perry.”
Either way, it wouldn’t be the only predetermined part of a professional wrestling event.
