Mickey Rourke Planning To Attend Wrestlemania 25
So i guess he will be there, hopefully he won't wrestle....

"The head of PR for WWE confirmed Monday that actor Mickey Rourke is planning to attend the company's Wrestlemania 25, the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania event in Houston in April.


According to Sal Cataldi of Cataldi public relations, which does PR for WWE, he has confirmation from head of WWE PR Robert Zimmerman that Rourke is planning to be there.

Rourke had a gentle run-in with WWE wrestler Chris Jericho on Larry King Live over some comments Rourke made at the SAG Awards, but WWE would not say whether Rourke would be there to wrestle, make an appearance or simply as a spectator.


The timing of the confirmation is no coincidence, as industry insiders thought Rourke would not confirm his WWE schtick until after the Oscars, for fear that his association would hurt his chances with Oscar (for real).

Rourke, a former boxer, made a comeback this year with the film, The Wrestler, for which he was nominated for an Oscar (he lost out to Sean Penn). The story features Rourke as Randy the Ram, a washed up wrestler trying for a comeback. He has said that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was supportive of his portrayal.

The role paralleled Rourke's own fall from film stardom and effort at personal and professional redemption. Rourke ran out of money and wound up returning to the boxing ring, he said in interview for Barbara Walter's pre-Oscar special on ABC, conceding the film was essentially his own story. He also said that winning the Oscar would be important, but pointed out what you couldn't do with an Oscar, including a bleeped comment about its shortcomings as a love interest."

Once Vince realized the movie was a success, anyway.

Penn only won because Prop 8 passed. And I think Penn knows it.

Not that I have a problem with it or anything, you just had to know that the academy wouldn't pass up the chance to make a statement like that. I think any other year Rourke may have won the award.

It'll be interesting to see what they have him do at WrestleMania. I don't doubt that if he's in a match it'll be better than most celebrity "matches" have been, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be good. They can't even really have him cut a promo with Jericho unless every last word is scripted out (Rourke is horrible at talking when the words aren't in front of him), and that's not really Jericho's style. Have Rourke accompany a returning legend to the ring, have him hit Jericho with a chair or something, and have the legend win. That'd be entertaining enough for me.

Big surprise that the Academy Awards are political. But seriously, Sean Penn, even though he may be a cockbag, is a pretty damn talented man. Don't let that cockbagginess fool you.

Why would you rip Sean Penn? His performance was arguably better than Rourke's. I wanted Mickey to win but you cant say Penn didnt deserve to win either.

Unless you were ripping him cause hes generally an asshole.
