In the Ring with Mickey Rourke

April 6, 2009

Mickey Rourke entered the ring at Wrestlemania 25 Sunday to settle some real-life beef!

The actor and former boxer, 56, had been feuding with pro wrestler Chris Jericho, 38, for weeks before Sunday’s event. Apparently, Jericho made a comment that Rourke’s character in The Wrestler was “not my story,” Rourke says.

So he took it to the ring!

After Jericho defeated wrestling legends Roddy Piper, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, Rourke entered the ring and knocked down Jericho to close out the match!

You can check out video of the action here.

Kid Rock and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger have been tapped to perform at the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania April 5.

Scherzinger will reportedly open the night with “America the Beautiful,” while Rock is slated to sing several hits, including “Cowboy,” “Bawitdaba” and “Rock N Roll Jesus.”
Previous acts at Wrestlemania have included Aretha Franklin, John Legend and Ray Charles, but something tells us this roster is a bit more fitting!
