Mickey Rourke Really Will Be a Wrestler
by Matt Richenthal at . CommentsWe didn't think we'd be covering WWE spoilers on this site, but Mickey Rourke has given us little choice.
The Oscar-nominated star of The Wrestler told Access Hollywood this week that he'd be participating in WWE's Wrestlemania 25, scheduled for April 5 in Houston.
“The boys from the WWE called me and asked me to do it,” Rourke said. “I said, ‘I want to.’ I’m talking with [WWE legend] Rowdy Roddy Piper about it.
Moreover, when the actor does jump into the ring with WWE, it appears he may already have his sights set on an opponent.
“Chris Jericho, you better get in shape,” Rourke taunted. “Because I’m coming after your a**.”
