David Arquette Applauds Paul Walter Hauser's Rising Wrestling Career
In an Instagram post earlier today actor and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette extended his congratulations to fellow actor-turned-wrestler Paul Walter Hauser for his impressive performances on the independent wrestling circuit.
Arquette remarked, "Congratulations Paul Walter Hauser, you're killing it in the indies and I'm really impressed. You had an amazing match at Major League Wrestling. Keep up the good work buddy and I should know," while playfully draping the iconic WCW Championship belt over his shoulder, a nod to his own wrestling accolade from 2000.
Hauser, renowned for his roles in "Richard Jewell" and as Stingray in "Cobra Kai," embarked on his professional wrestling journey in 2023. Since then, he has made significant progress in the industry, showcasing his dedication and passion for the sport, just as Arquette did before him.
It is perhaps apt then that momentum continues for Hauser as he prepares for a landmark opportunity: competing for his first wrestling championship. On April 17th, at the Pearl Theater in Las Vegas, Hauser will enter the PROGRESS Wrestling Proteus World Championship Scramble Match during Chapter 179: PROGRESS, Las Vegas. He will face formidable opponents, including the current champion Simon Miller, EFFY, Charles Crowley and Adam Priest, in what promises to be a frantic contest.
Tickets for this must-see event are available through Ticketmaster, and fans worldwide can stream the action live on Triller TV+.
With the endorsement of seasoned wrestling personalities like Arquette and before im Mario Lopez, Teddy Swims and Richard Gad, Hauser's transition from the silver screen to the squared circle is capturing the attention of fans and industry veterans alike.
His journey underscores a genuine commitment to professional wrestling, and the upcoming championship match could mark a significant milestone in his burgeoning wrestling career.
