Film maker Darren Aronofsky won the big golden lion award at the Venice Film Festival in Italy. It’s a film about profesional wrestling that stars Mickey Rourke. It is actually set in the independent world of wrestling, not really into the pros yet. Rourke plays Randy “The Ram” Robinson who makes a comeback to wrestling to continue for his revenge to feud with his former rival.

As a huge lifelong fan of the profesional wrestling industry, of course, I have grown interest in seeing this. So hopefully this film gets released around here soon.
