Rourke’s Wrestlemania Appearance Covered In Mainstream; Reveals That Iron Man Kept Him Out Of Ring

News

A collection of links covering Mickey Rourke at ‘Mania.

Rourke reveals that his role in Iron Man 2 is the reason he stayed out of the ring at MSNBC/Access Hollywood.

TMZ calls him a sell out for appearing at the event. I don’t see how calling anything on a wrestling show fake is much of an insult, but it’s TMZ; they have to force the snark in there somewhere (and yes, I’m the hypocritical pot here. That kettle’s still a dick).
