While many real life wrestlers came out to “The Wrestler” premiere in Los Angeles and most wrestlers in America enjoyed “The Wrestler”, directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke, it makes you wonder if Vince McMahon, chairman/owner of the WWE came out to see the movie?

Well, the truth is, Vince didn’t see the movie yet. Darren Aronofsky wanted Vince McMahon to see it. So Aronofsky, went to McMahon’s home in Connecticut and showed a private screening of “The Wrestler” for McMahon alone.

Vinnie Mac, has not yet gave out a public review of his thoughts of the film but hopefully he will soon. I’m sure the wrestling community is dying to know his thoughts. Will Vince McMahon even invite Mickey Rourke to the WWE to perform a storyline and have a ppv match? Would it be freakin’ cool if it would be Vince McMahon vs. Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania 25? Hell yeah!!!
