I thought more people would be up in arms about this idea.

I would be fine with it. It's not like Arquette at all. Lawler is an accomplished legendary wrestler, not a scrawny actor. Night and day.

Built up as a feel good, classic "Over the hill guy gets one more crack at the title" kind of thing, there is absolutely no reason why Lawler winning the title should be shameful. He's obviously not on the same level as any of the younger guys anymore but on one night, he channels his younger days and give everything he's got and is able to recapture glory. He goes on to defend it and runs out of magic, losing the title. This is all perfectly acceptable.
