Despite RISE being a women’s wrestling promotion, former WCW Champion and actor David Arquette is set to show what he’s got. It’s been announced that Arquette will appear at RISE 10’s development seminar on October 19 in Berwyn, Illinois. Those that tryout at the seminar are entered into RISE’s “prospective talent pool,” and then can be used in RISE 10’s Insanity event later that evening.
“I know the decision to allow David in this Seminar will be a polarizing one,” said RISE Executive Producer Kevin Harvey. “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.”
Many women are excited at the opportunity to welcome the WCW legend to the RISE ring:

The seminar will feature SHIMMER Originals Mercedes Martinez, Rain, Cheerleader Melissa, and Lexie Fyfe. The RISE 10 Insanity card will be headlined by a title match between The Phoenix of RISE Champion Tessa Blanchard defending against Mercedes Martinez in a 60 minute Iron Woman match.
Here’s more on the card from RISE itself:
The Guardians of RISE Tag Team Championships will be on the line as Raven’s Ash and Dust, collectively known Paradise Lost with Rosemary defend against Balls of DOOM, the team of Delilah Doom and Shotzi Blackheart. We also present Queen vs. Queen as Madison Rayne takes on Jinny!
So far, announced talents who currently have open contracts for matches October 19 include Dynamite DiDi, Miranda Alize, Allysin Kay, Cheerleader Melissa, Rain, Jessicka Havok, Nevaeh and more yet to be announced.
