Mickey Rourke To Follow Up Oscar-Nominated Triumph With WRESTLEMANIA 25 Appearance?
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. —
Beaks here... Look, I haven't watched a televised professional wrestling event since the WWF unceremoniously retired Uncle Elmer (technically, the most skilled grappler the sport has ever seen), but you don't have to be a die-hard to appreciate the potential splendor of an Academy Award-winning actor parlaying his Oscar into a top-of-the-marquee showdown at Wrestlemania. If only Fredric March had been so forward-thinking... There will be (probably already are) those who claim that Mickey Rourke has irreparably harmed his Best Actor campaign by revealing at Sunday's SAG Awards that he has accepted Vince McMahon's offer to get it on in the squared circle with former WWE ...
Mickey Rourke’s Next Performance? Wrestlemania 25!
We Are Movie Geeks —
Mickey Rourke, while doing red carpet interviews at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night, revealed that not only has he been in talks with World Wrestling Entertainment and Vince McMahon, but that he has accepted to attend Wrestlemania 25 on April 5th.
Here’s the clip straight from YouTube:
The man calls out Chris Jericho! Is there anything cooler? As a die hard wrestling fan (yes, I know it’s fake! Back off!), I think this is awesome news, and I can’t wait to hear what WWE has in store for Rourke and Jericho in the storylines.

Mickey Rourke vs. Chris Jericho
Movies RSS Feed: UGO —
Mickey Rourke vs. Chris Jericho image If you didn’t watch Larry King Live last night shame on you. Larry is a titan of the interview second only to Charlie Rose, Brian Lehrer, and Geraldo - who are all tied for first in my mind. Mickey Rourke appeared Live to discuss The Wrestler , his rebirth and generally make the viewing audience nervous with his Frankenstein visage. But that’s not the news we care about. Later on the segment via satellite, Chris Jericho came on to answer Rourke’s red carpet challenge. Jericho was in top form, cutting a full on heel promo while Rourke demured. He didn’t want any part of Jericho, he said. A bare-knuckle fight though. That’s a ...
Mickey Rourke: Not your usual Oscar bait
Scene-Stealers —
Mickey Rourke, up for a Best Actor Oscar that he richly deserves at this year’s 2009 Academy Awards ceremony, is not your usual, play-it-safe kind of actor. (To enter our Oscar prediction contest, go here!) Just today, the Huffington Post put a up a slide show of recent promotional appearances Rourke has made in the last month during his run for gold with Darren Aronofsky’s stellar film “The Wrestler.” They are calling it a Hand-In-Pants Retrospective. I think you’ll enjoy it; here’s a taste:
So, the question is: Will Oscar voters want to give this guy a chance to ...
