BREAKING NEWS: Mickey Rourke pussies out of Wrestlemania match against Chris Jericho…

Leave a comment

After Mickey Rourke saying at least a couple of times, he is dying to go to Wrestlemania to fight against Chris Jericho, Rourke for some reason changes his mind. He claims that he is entirely focused on his acting career although he has his full  respect toward the WWE as Rourke is a huge fan of the wrestling business.

Yep, I can see Jericho on RAW this coming Monday, calling Rourke a coward for backing out, that’s exactly what he’s going to do!! LOL!!

What a bummer! I really wanted to see this match too.

Ah well, now Jericho can have an actual match with an actual wrestler at Wrestlemania, not have a match against a celebrity movie star. Maybe Chris Jericho can now take the World Champ belt from John Cena, so it can be Jericho vs. Randy Orton at Wrestlemania, now that’s a match I’d rather see instead!!

BREAKING NEWS: Mickey Rourke confirmed to perform in a match for Wrestlemania 25!!!!!!!!

4 Comments

I kind of figure this was going to happen as this news is no surprise for me. Mickey Rourke, the star of “The Wrestler”, says that the WWE confirmed the actor to perform at Wrestlemania 25 in Houston, Texas. He says he’s in talks with Rowdy Roddy Piper about it. Does this mean Mickey Rourke and Rowdy Piper will have a tag match against Chris Jericho and who ever Jericho is teaming up with? That’s what it seems like they’re planning.

Really good news. Good for Mickey, I bet he dreamed of being a real life profesional wrestler for many years which is the whole point of him doing the film, now he gets to experience pro wrestling in real life for one time only.

Report: Why Springsteen got robbed for “The Wrestler” in the Oscars? Here’s why…

Leave a comment

In order for a song from a film be eligible for a nomination for “Best Song” category, a total of 8.25 up to 10 votes by the Academy branch must be made by the voters. Sadily, Bruce’s song only got a total of 8 votes of everyone voting. Since Bruce’s song ,”The Wrestler”, didn’t make 8.25 to 10 votes, it’s the only reason it didn’t get in.

That is also the reason the “Original Song” category only nominated three songs, because those three songs were the only ones that got between 8.25 to 10 votes.

Like the article said, Bruce is already an Oscar winner for winning an Oscar for “Streets of Philadelphia”, and he already won a Golden Globe for “The Wrestler”, he would think that’s good enough for him.

Fuck the Oscars, Bruce. Your music career is way more important than a golden statue. The Superbowl performance is all he needs to complete his legendary career.

Thought: If Clint Eastwood gets nominated for “Best Actor”, then this is bad news for Mickey Rourke…

Leave a comment

We all know that Mickey Rourke will definitely get nominated for “Best Leading Actor” for his movie “The Wrestler”, but what if Clint Eastwood gets nominated for his role as Walt Kowalksi in “Gran Torino” for the “Best Leading Actor” category?

If Eastwood does get the actor category for “Gran Torino”, then Rourke is screwed. Eastwood won two Oscars for “Best Director” in the past but he never won anything for “Best Actor” yet, could this year finally be Eastwood’s chance? If Eastwood’s in the nomination, then I don’t see Rourke winning at all.

Eastwood’s role in “Gran Torino” is Oscar worthy enough, I’ll tell you that right now.

Mickey Rourke photo at Golden Globes…

Leave a comment

I think this is the only photo of a celeb that’s worth posting in this blog from last night’s Golden Globes. I also think Mickey wins for best fashion award out of all celebs who dressed up last night. Just look at him? Doesn’t he look like a fucking bad ass or what? Mickey looks like an actual profesional wrestler even though he isn’t one in real life. That’s what amazing about him.

I always saw Mickey Rourke as a very talented actor and it’s about fuckin’ time he’s got the recognition he deserves!!! I don’t think Mickey will keep that badass look for long, ’cause I think he just did it for his movie “The Wrestler”. He does look fuckin’ cool though.

Mickey Rourke picks up Golden Globe for “The Wrestler”…

Leave a comment

Mickey Rourke just picked up his win for “The Wrestler”, Rourke won for “Best Leading Actor in a Drama”.

As Mickey made his way up to the stage, he was so nervous that he couldn’t even walk up the stairs. He almost fell as he went up. He also had a tough time speaking through the mic. Through the mic, Rourke joked, “I know Aronofsky, doesn’t like being called a tough son of a bitch, but man, you’re a touch son of a bitch”, then Aronofsky flips Rourke the middle finger, LOL! It was all uncensored too since it was live.

Congrats to Mickey, he deserves it. I never seen “The Wrestler” and I’m dying to see the film so badily. Mickey will probably end up winning an Oscar too.

Report: Aronofsky to screen “The Wrestler” for Vince McMahon…

Leave a comment

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!!!
