it looks like this match will go ahead listening to news bulletins today, what a great advertisement for the world of wrestling & indeed the upcoming 25th wrestlemania, so i'll presume that this 'bout' will take place at wrestlemania, no doubt rourke will win as always happens with 'guest wrestlers'

equal as they both have scripts, the wrestling business admits it not that you'd have to be einstein to work it out

appartly Vince didn't like the movie and didn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. But with Rouke being nominated for and winning awards for his role brings him in for a guest roll.

Vince don't like the movie because he sees it as telling the truth on how some wrestlers from the 80's are nowdays and a;sp the blading didn't go down to well either

Yep, but since then both parties have said it's not happening. Although in the Wrestling World that doesn't mean much.

I believe the fear is that if Rourke does get involved in something stupid like pro wrestling then it would decrease his chance of winning any upcoming acting awards.
