I heard he wants to go at it with real wrestler Chris Jericho.

Yeah, it's scheduled for Wrestlemania 25. I read the story today. It sounds like Rourke will win due to outside interference from Ric Flair. But maybe it's just me reading into the story....

I too saw this movie. It was really good. It will tear at your emotionally and I think the story has been told over and over again in reality, which is sad.

I also heard that the movie is loosely based on the real life story of Jake "the Snake" Roberts and from what I know about Jake, I would not be surprised....sad sad story.

Wise decision.

Jericho said there's a big difference between playing a wrestler in a movie and actually being one!

Yeah it pays much less, you end up penniless with an enlarged heart and dead far too young...

You do know wrestling is fake, don't you?

Spectacular movie, great performance. The scene on the Asbury Park boardwalk broke my heart. Glad to see Rourke doing something decent, I always liked his acting.

Yeah, but you can only fake so much.

You need certain attributes and capabilities to 'role play' between the ropes.

Of course we know it's fake! But you still have to be in pretty good physical condition to take the hits and do the moves these guys do. Let a 300 lb. wrestler hit you and tell him it's fake! They do get broken bones, concussions and other various injuries.

Stop right there. Wrestling is just bad actors with a lame script, who are on steroids. Wrestling actually makes day-time soaps look good by comparison.

If they are suffering so much injury, maybe they need to consult a few stunt guys, to better learn how to "roll with the punches".

Well, I'm pretty sure they'd beat the shit out of him just to make a point that it isn't.

Didn't something like this happen a few years back with another celebrity?

Saw the movie last night. Brutal....sad. Rourke is perfect.

However Marisa is.....well.....let's just say she has aged very well....

like the gent said above you will not be disappointed in her appearance.

She is only 44. I would not have expected her to look "any worse for wear", at that age.

Hate to disagree but wrestling is not fake.However wrasslin is.
Sad,poignant and tragic story with a superb performance by Rourke.
