Update: Chron.com Mickey Rourke's spokesperson said Rourke would not participate in Wrestlemania, as he is concentrating full time on acting. The back story on this statement is that Rourke's announcement may have been hurting his chances for an Oscar, so he back peddled. His "backing out" will surely be met with comments by Chris Jericho, and perhaps we will see Rourke involved once the Oscars are over in late Feb.
The Wrestler star, Mickey Rourke, on the red carpet for the SAG awards told reporters that the WWE has invited him to take part in Wrestlemania XXV set for Houston on April 5. Rourke did not say what role he would play, but post ended with “Chris Jericho, you better get in shape,” Rourke added. “Because I’m coming after your a**.”
As a note, I saw the Wrestler today, and it was an amazing look at the World of Professional Wrestling. Rourke gave an outstanding, realistic performance.
Once again Vince McMahon is amazing!!!
