edit:

In regards to Mickey Rourke's comments last night at the SAG awards, the plan is to have Rourke vs. Jericho at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon did a complete 180 in regards to The Wrestler once the film picked up Academy Award nominations. McMahon is hoping that the Oscar buzz surrounding the actor "playing wrestler" for the film will give WrestleMania a lot of buzz as he actually steps into the ring. Rourke had talked to Roddy Piper about making the appearance, and according to Afa the Wild Samoan, who trained Rourke, Rourke, "should have been a wrestler, he was immediately one of the boys."

Just remember the disaster that was Floyd Mayweather last yer..

Vince McMahon would skin disabled orphans at wrestlemania if it guaranteed him huge ratings and immunity from prosecution.

Wrestling seems to be losing a lot of fans to UFC.

Mickey Rourke should be moving onto other shit if he wants this comeback to stick.

Is UFC any use? I've never watched it at all. Never had the channels it was shown on.

Well its real for a start. All the pyrotechnics and elaborate storylines of wrestling entertainment just can't make up for that these days.

A lot of the fights in UFC are shit. They go to ground quickly and its over in a few seconds.

Some are great though. Brock Lesnar is in it now. Hes terrifying.

90% boring 10% awesome

Personally I love the ground fighting - the problem with UFC at the moment is the fighters are encouraged to 'stand and bang' to make it more exciting for the casual fans - so it looks a bit like bad kick boxing..

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I love the stand and bang!

 

[Ferox13]

I love the stand and bang!

Thats what she said....

So of the old Pride fights were amazing too - back when Wandy was an animal and the rules allowed him to stomp the living shit out of people.

And when Sak fought Royce for 90mins and then went on to take Igor V to over time in the 2nd round...

I think this deserves its own thread

Beautiful movie. Loved the themes, loved the soundtrack, loved the camera work. Touching. Amazing. Funny. Sad. Everything.
