Chris Jericho Calls Out Rourke on Larry King Live
Film Junk —
This is already starting to get entertaining. I’m very happy they left the character of Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson alone. I don’t want to see character cross-promotion. I think it would cheapen the film. BUT…Rourke in the ring? Based off of this appearance on Larry King Live, I think things could get pretty entertaining. Now we just need to see Rourke in a neck brace being slapped on Letterman.

Mickey Rourke may have called out Chris Jericho on the red carpet at the SAG Awards, but he wanted no piece of him on Larry King Live. The WWE star did his best to goad Rourke into some good old fashioned publicity trash talk, telling Rourke he has no respect for him and to “be careful what [he] wishes for,” but Rourke refused to bite. You can almost see him turtling up into “serious actor” mode. Then comes this note from his publicist, via Defamer:
“Mickey was very honored to be asked as ...
The Wrestler To Attend Wrestlemania XXV
Latino Review —
The Wrestler To Attend Wrestlemania XXV By George 'El Guapo' Roush on March 17, 2009 [image] Back in the 80's it was kind of cool to see celebrities at Wrestlemania. Cindy Lauper, Mr. T, Pete Rose and a host of others have been celebrity guests since the first Wrestlemania aired so long ago. But is it a good idea to go on a WWE PPV after winning awards for your acting performance in a movie about wrestling? While some say yes, others in the industry may think it's a bad move. Mickey Rourke has agreed to appear at Wrestlemania XXV to support his friends Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat, and Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka in their match against Chris Jericho. If ...
