You Cannot Kill David Arquette: From an actor with heart problems to becoming a pro wrestler

A scene from You Cannot Kill David Arquette.

As David Arquette returned home after having two stents placed in his heart, he mentioned to his wife Christina that he was considering a return to wrestling. At first, she thought he was joking - after all, just days before the actor had suffered a heart attack.

“It was intense,” he tells me from his LA home via Zoom. “I had a really bad reaction to a stress test. My heart started to seize up. Luckily, I was in a hospital but they had to get medicine from the fifth floor. So I had a while to think about it. Luckily, I got two stents put in my heart.” That was just a few years ago, and as he recovered he thought about the sport that is his lifelong passion.
