The former champ injured in his return match.

After nearly eight years since his last match, two weeks ago actor, producer and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette made his in-ring return at the ‘Championship Wrestling From Hollywood’ TV tapings at the Oceanview Pavilion.

Arquette’s return match was against Canadian actor and current IWC Super Indy Champion RJ City.

Some people are criticizing my Sharp Shooter but it was actually a Sharp “Rock” Shooter. Thanks @TheRock for all the great pointers – sorry @PAvalon for not locking it in pic.twitter.com/lT2VDlVdgT

I love and respect all of you wrestling fans. To the wrestlers – for the first time tonight I felt like I was one of you – @RicFlairNatrBoy once told the boys at the bar I was and tonight the boys back stage treated like it. Thank you all I’m proud to be both a fan & “one of us” pic.twitter.com/A0X4K0tuHL

In an update today via Twitter, Arquette shared a photo of himself laying in a hospital bed and noted that he fractured his ribs during his return match which is why he was he was in so much pain during the bout.

So I had two fractured ribs in my fight against @RJCity1 so that explains why I was in so much pain. That and the belt shots and knee Aurther pic.twitter.com/zv8PZmt3JD
