Mickey Rourke Says He Wants To Make a WWE Return

November 6, 2009

The UK Sun has an article up noting that former Wrestlemania star and Oscar nominated actor Mickey Rourke wants to make a return to WWE at some point. Rourke’s biographer, Sandro Monetti, said the following concerning the actor potentially returning to WWE: "Mickey has great respect for WWE owner Vince McMahon and says he is the man who turned wrestling from a sport for fat guys in speedos to a contest for superfit athletes.

"He wants to help the wrestling community all he can having fallen in love with the sport over the course of that amazing movie."

The article notes that despite not being able to get into the ring at last year’s Wrestlemania because a clause in his film contract prohibited him from wrestling, Rourke claims that he wants to have a "proper match in the WWE one day."

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
