Scott Caan Should Have Wrestled


Scott Caan should have become a wrestler in the movie instead of David Arquette. Caan was much more muscular. He isn't tall, but not all wrestlers are tall. Arquette would have made a good manager. He is a big talker and annoying. Why did the writers make Arquette a wrestler? Was it because he was a bigger name?

Should I have posted a spoiler alert? I didn't think so, but felt unsure. The movie is twelve years old already.

If I had to guess I would say that Yes it was because David Arquette was the more popular of the two. Don't forget that by the time Ready To Rumble came out Arquette had recently finished the hugely successful Scream trilogy which certainly helped to raise his profile and boost his popularity.
