18. I saw the interview on Larry Kings show, it was a disgrace. Read the posts and see what people think of this exchange, obviously you didn't and you probably didn't see the show either or you wouldn't put up an asinine headline like that, then again, maybe you would. There were so many posts defending Mickey Rourke that Larry King didn't show up on his own show the nxt night, no one is going to tell me it was for any other reason, he started it. Mickey said he had thought it would be fun to wrestle but his manager forbid him to do so. Jericho asked him if he would consider wrestling with him, Mickey honestly answered no, he wasn't good enough, then said he is a boxer not a wrestler. Mickey has a lot of wrestler friends, he loves wrestling. Jericho did not accept that and proceeded to goad and humilate Mickey Rourke, he made a real jerk of himself, Mickey was a gentleman, he alwasys is. I don't know where you got the idea that Mickey Rourke is a loud mouthed trouble maker, he isn't. Hes a sweet soft spoken guy who wanted to box and he did, he has a loft of fans who are loyal and like him, they must have posted 3 or 4 thousand posts, all defending Mickey Rourke. Leave this guy alone, if you want Sean "Comrade" Penn or Brad the pitts to win just say so, don't use this as an excuse to ruin his career, that is really low. Cut this guy a break for a change.TMZ has a way of attacking a guy who is down and its getting old.

19. I also meant to comment on Mickeys comeback, The news media acts as if he hasn't worked in 15 years , he has, a year and a half ago he was in Sin City and he was great in that, he also did once upon a time in Mexico and he was good in that, he has worked , this movie that he's up for an Oscar for was not even distributed in theaters the way the others were , it is only in two theaters in the Chicago area and one in Philadelphia. Brad Pitt went all the way to Japan to pimp his movie benjamin button, I heard is was not all that but he has a better chance than mickey I guess, I hope Hollywood stops playing with people, if sean penn wins I'll never watch the Oscars again. Talk about looking like crap, he doesn't have any excuse either, hes just butt ugly. I don't think Mickey looks that bad, he's 57 yrs old and he boxed for 6 years, he is not on drugs, he's uncomfortable with people comparing him to what he looked like 30 years ago, he knows he's not pretty anymore yet as he was speaking on Larry King big photos of him in early movies were flashing on the screen behind him, Just Larry showing you what a mess he is now, I don't think he is. Hes' just different, there is a lot of character in that face. He needs a haircut though and some new teeth would be good, otherwise he looks OK.

20. MICKEY WON THE MATCH ON CNN, Larry King Live. Jericho came off as a jerk because that is part of the game. If there had been a match lots of money would have been made. The ho's getting publicity are also part of the game. Yep! He paid his dues, and learned you can only trust your dog and yourself and a great producer named Aronofsky. Mickey has always been hot, hot, hot, and still is. Mickey, your day is now.

22. Madeline you said it all so well. Yes, a hair cut & getting his teeth fixed will go a long way. I think he looks fine. He's been thru a lot, yes, self inflicted, but he is trying to turn his life around in this srewed up business full of dirtbags & fake people at every turn.

We love ya Mickey!!

24. Can't believe Mickey ever considered doing the WWE in the first place.
He either received bad advice or because of his phenomonal performance as The Ram, he may have forgotton for a second that he isn't really a wrestler! And besides, the Academy would have burnt his butt if he did a stunt like that.
Straight ahead, Micky, straight ahead......
love ya.

25. I am happy this was only hype. I am a wrestling geek and very impressed with alot of the praise and respect this movie has been getting. If there was a match of any kind with Rourke and Jericho that would truelly harm and minimize the great respect that has been coming to the wrestling business since this movie became popular.

26. I WOULD LIKE to see Mickey wrestle, but only if it was real, to the death, and his opponent was the "no acting ability "Sean Penn. Anybody who is as big a jerk as Sean Penn, isn't acting when they play the part of a jerk. The casting director should be getting the awards for finding such easily "directed" social misfits. I didn't even like Penn in the prison movie because I knew he wasn't REALLY getting BEATEN TO A PULP.
