So, here I am sitting down preparing for the Royal Rumble and I find a post on the message board I frequent.
And I'm still in shock as I write this.
Apparently, Mickey Rourke has revealed that he will be facing Chris Jericho at WrestleMania XXV.
Yes.
Mickey Rourke!
I heard talk that Vince McMahon hated The Wrestler but the Golden Globe wins and Oscar nominations has caused the WWE owner to try and capitalise on the success of the movie. I guess this is the best way for McMahon to associate himself with the film.
Despite how shocked and intrigued I am at this possibility, I cannot help but think that all the good work and message made in The Wrestler will be compromised with Rourke participating at the WWE's biggest show of the year.
I'm sure I'll write about this in the upcoming weeks.
