David Arquette released the following statement after his death match with Nick Gage this past Friday at Joey Janela's L.A. Confidential:
As some of you might have seen, last week I was injured in a wrestling death match. I wanted to make sure to address the photos and videos that have surfaced from the event, as this is not the type of wrestling you watch on TV.
I knew it was violent and potentially bloody, but I truly did not know the extent of what I was participating in. However, I take responsibility for putting myself in that situation.
For the last six months, I have been training and competing in indie matches around the country, as wrestling is a passion of mine. I want to state again that this is not traditional sport, and I have the utmost respect for that sport.
I also want to apologize to the professional wrestling world for any negative attention this might have brought forth over the weekend, and I have zero plans to be involved in a match like this again.
I want to thank all of my fans, friends, and family for their love and support over the last few days.
I am looking forward to getting back into the ring, under much different circumstances - in the near future.
However my priority and full-time dedication will always be to acting and producing, and I look forward to sharing some of my exciting new projects in 2019.
With Love,
David Arquette
Arquette also tweeted the statement, adding, "The main reason I got injured was because of my lack of experience - don’t try this at home."
