Mickey Rourke's training
 

I noticed in the credits that he was trained at the Wild Samoan Training facility which, from memory, trained current superstars like Batista and I would imagine most of the samoans. At first I was a bit surprised because if memory serves it's quite a brutal training facility, however on the flipside I guess hard training would come across better on the screen.

Anyway, I was thinking, is it possible that Mickey Rourke put more training into this film than any celebrity who has wrestled in the WCW/WWE have ever done? I'm not sure if there is even a way to compare this but I'd be interested in the discussion. Some of his moves looked like they were executed quite well, although I don't know how much editing was involved.

Also thought that he had the look of Kevin Nash and Michael Hayes rolled into one.

Batista versus Rourke at Wrestlemania ;)

He reminded me of Macho Man, but thats probably cause his name was Randy the RAm

He seemed well trained, and he was already an athelete and all the pro wrestlers seemed impressed by what he could do.

He looked great.

I saw him on Leno. He gave a shout out to Afa and the crowd didn't react and then when he said he was related to the Rock there were some woos.

he put on 30 lbs of muscle and trained non stop for 4 months to wrestle.

Keep in mind that he was a pretty serious boxer before he became an actor.

I will DrA.
