All In 2 News! MAJOR WWE DEBUT! WrestleTalk News With Luke Owen

David Arquette Teases Wrestling Return

Speaking of storylines that not many people liked, and David Arquette winning the WCW Championship in 2000 is thought to be one of the worst decisions made by a major wrestling promotion ever. While there are those who have defended it – mostly Vince Russo – fans frequently mock the angle where Mr. Arquette won the title – which was done simply to promote the movie Ready 2 Rumble. But that was 18 years ago, surely we’ve all moved on from that.

Well apparently not, as Arquette revealed on the Wendy Williams Show that he’s been trolled on the internet for nearly two decades about his wrestling career – and, like me, he’s also making a triumphant return.

“I’d like to announce my return to professional wrestling.”

Hilariously, Wendy Williams didn’t even know that Arquette had been a wrestler – which shows just how successful that angle was – and Office Dewey told her,

“For 18 years, I’ve been trolled on the internet and people have attacked me. I just want to bring some respect back to my name. They’re the worst. They sort of blame me for ruining WCW which is no longer around, so maybe I did have something to do with it”.

Pro Wrestling Sheet are reporting that Arquette is currently in a marathon training session which will be part of a documentary about his return to the squared circle.

But where will Arquette wrestle? WWE? Impact Wrestling? Ring of Honor? New Japan? Or what if Arquette was… All In?

All In 2 Location Confirmed?!

The big talk of the wrestling world over the last few weeks was the success of Bullet Club’s All In show – which sold out it’s 10,000 seats in Chicago in less than half an hour. With that success, All In 2 seems like a given at this point, and there has been a lot of conversation about where Cody and The Young Bucks might hold this hypothetical event. Well, at a Ring of Honor show from New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, Cody revealed that not only was All In 2 happening, he even announced it’s location. Big thanks to Graham Matthews for capturing this video where Cody said:

“This morning we decided the location of All In 2… Can you guess where it is?… That’s right, All In 2 is in New York City!”

This is a massive announcement, as New York is a huge market for pro wrestling with a very rabid crowd that will…

“Actually, I am completely kidding. We would never hold All In 2 in this crap city.”

All In Referees Confirmed

But that’s not the only bit of All In news – although that wasn’t really news – as the official Twitter account last night revealed who will be officiating the event in September. The show’s referees will be PWG’s Rick Knox, ROH’s Paul Turner and Todd Sinclair, Impact Wrestling Hall of Famer Earl Hebner and wrestling legend Jerry Lynn. Man, can’t believe they passed over Chris Roberts.

Hebner is of course one of the biggest names in pro wrestling officiating – known for his involvement in the Montreal Screwjob and getting a PPV victory over WCW’s Nick Patrick at WWF’s InVasion. Jerry Lynn is best known for his work in ECW and around the world, who had his final wrestling match in 2013. I’m surprised to see that New Japan’s Red Shoes isn’t in the line up, but perhaps they’re saving him for a big tease announcement.

SAnitY Debut At WWE Live Event

And speaking of long-term teases – bear with me folks I’ve been away for a while – and NXT faction SAnitY have been on the “coming soon” list for SmackDown Live since the Superstar Shake-Up the week after WrestleMania – but still haven’t debuted. For those keeping score, that’s now seven weeks. Not quite Emmalina numbers but we’re getting there.

However the group finally made an appearance on the main roster for SmackDown at a house show in Waco Texas over the weekend, with the group taking on the Good Brothers, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

WWE’s Spanish Twitter account posted these images of the debut:
