Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania

Mickey Roarke said, "I think maybe I'm gonna do Wrestlemania in Houston. I had some dialogue with Vince McMahon, Rick Flair, Roddy Piper, and all the rest of them, and they've been really supportive. The nicest thing has been the whole wrestling community embracing us. The movie was about their world."

Roarke made his Hollywood comeback in 2008 with the new movie, The Wrestler, having been nominated for a best actor Oscar.

This could shape up to be pretty interesting, especially if you're a Micky Rourke fan. I'm not really digging the Hardy vs Hardy thing that's sure to go down, so we need something positive at the event.

He called-out Chris Jericho and Jericho went on Larry King Live and said something. Tonight was ECW and while doing my rounds, I came upon this little item. It looks like rasslin fans are pretty excited about the whole thing.

Rourke's manager has said he will not be appearing at Wrestlemania, though many fans have indicated he may make an "appearance."

Rourke had a (very) brief boxing career a while back and trained for weeks for his role in The Wrestler, so while this particular event may not have worked-out, keep your eyes peeled for further developments.
