Former AWA World Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lawler interviewed former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette in the latest installment of WWE.com’s Superstar to Superstar. Some comments based on wrestling-related questions: “We are all carnies at heart.” / “I know the fans weren’t crazy about how that all went down, but it was a lot of fun. I have a lot of respect for all the wrestlers and the business, and it was a blast to just be a part of it.” / “I still have my belt, and I love holding it and showing it off. Some people take things a little too seriously, though. I remember one little kid saw it and gave me the finger on the spot! I do have to say that the K-Fed stuff has been pretty entertaining, and for the record, I went on TRL and called him out!” / “That was one of my favorite things about wrestling getting drunk with Ric Flair. What a memory that was … A lot of people were upset with me by the second time I was there after I got the title and everything. But Ric was really cool with me, and he was impressed because I could handle my drinks. A few times, though, I ended up under the table.”
