David Arquette with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Just a few years before WWE bought WCW, the company's last few years produced some of the most infamous booking decisions in wrestling history. For example, the company brought in David Arquette to pop the ratings. WCW was desperate to compete with WWE, so the company put the movie star into a rivalry with Eric Bischoff and the New Blood.

This shocking win remains one of the most unforgettable title changes in the history of professional wrestling. Fans heavily criticized both WCW and Arquette for ruining the prestige of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. WWE restored the title's glory, but this match still left a stain on the legendary championship.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
