Mickey Wimps Out of Wrestling Gig

1. Isn't the press over dramatizing this? Also, Chris Jericho needs to get a grip. Mickey is on his way to re-establishing himself as a professional actor and wouldn't resort to a publicity stunt.

2. Jericho just freaked him out with his wild-eyed--jacked-up-on-roids confrontation.

3. If he didn't back out, the Academy would really bust his nuts over that!! He just got his career back on track and now he wants to act like he's in high school??? NOT EVEN CLOSE! The Academy & his agent have put their feet down on this one and told him under no circumstances.

And what about all the plastic surgery? Why would he take such a stupid chance and ruin an already bad job just to get more!!!

4. Hey he is on his way to rebuilding his carrer.Why should he take a step backwards?

5. Give me a break. Mickey Rourke looks like he's whacked out on drugs and booze and believe that he really is a wresler. He looks perpetually wasted. He would have gotten demolished in the ring if he ever was stupid or high enough or both to get in it. Guess he had a MOMENT of sobriety and figured out he was just playing a part and not really a wrestler. The man needs help. Take one look at him. It's obvious he hasn't been making good choices in his life.

smart move on his part...now that his acting career ( his true mistress) has been redeemed...

8. WWE was good in it's day, but now it has gone down. I would not pay to watch wrestlemania no matter who was gonna be there,,
Vince McMahon killed professional wrestling when he bought the competition.
Professional wresters today, do not hold a candle to say "THE ROCK" ,STONE COLD, TRIPLE H, MANKIND ECT..today the wrestlers either do not have mic skills or can not keep pace in the ring. Not worth my hard earned money/

10. Give me break....

Choreographed ...pretend... wrestlers are good at what they do....

Mickey Rourke is the Best at what He does.

Live and let live.

No cross -over necessary.

12. I love Mickey & kudos to his comeback (even after 13-14 years) -- it is well deserved. I don't think he ever intended to wrestle Jericho. It just got blown out due to media coverage & Jericho's big fat mouth on Larry King. Mickey is smarter than that & will do the right thing. Wish it was me he was doing!! ;-)

13. I am glad this not going to happen, as it would be like Tiny Lewis camme to the WWF as Zues, from the movie he did with Hogan.

14. Read between the lines....Think of it
He's focusing on his acting....
H-E-L-L-O....wrestling IS acting.
He went on Larry King Live to promote this...I can bet 100$ he's gonna be in Houston April 5th for WrestleMania.
They're probly just downplaying it..it's not like WWE needs promo anyways to get people to go the WrestleMania..
Anyways..
