Hurricane Helms Critical Of GCW For David Arquette Booking

Hurricane Helms is not happy with how David Arquette was booked at the Game Changers Wrestling PPV over the weekend. Arquette was filling in for an injured Joey Ryan and was busted open pretty badly in a hardcore match with Nick Gage.

Arquette made a public statement that he’ll no longer be participating in any deathmatches. He said he has nothing but respect for Gage, Joey Janela, and the rest of the team from GCW.

Helms made his comments in response to Arquette’s statement.

With all due respect, they took advantage of your name value and put you in a situation that you weren’t trained or prepared for, and it came close to ending very badly. Regardless of whether you wanted to do it or not, that’s shitty and irresponsible booking.

22-year-old Marko Stunt broke his fibula in a match with Eli Everfly on the show as well. Joey Janela injured his knee in several places on a September 21st GCW event in a match against Psychosis. Janela was diving from the ring ropes to the floor when the injury occurred.

Helms continued to comment on Arquette’s booking as his followers responded to his initial comments.

“They put a barely trained guy in a death match that resulted in him being hospitalized. Does someone actually have to die before you admit that that was irresponsible? And of course they took advantage of his name, they wouldn’t have booked him in the main otherwise.”

Helms continued:

"And he already said he didn’t realize how bad it would be. Don’t forget, I know him personally. I’ve seen people agree to shit a bunch and get taken advantage of. And don’t throw SOLD OUT like it was a 10,000 seat arena dude. FOH with that. They wanted the attention he’d bring."

And finally:

"You see the attention it’s gotten? Think that would happen if it was Billy Bob from the ant farm? Did TMZ cover Marko’s injury like they did DA’s?"
