Rourke vs. Jericho?


It's beginning to look like Mickey Rourke might just be wrestling Chris Jericho at the upcoming Wrestlemania.

This is a disturbing turn of events, because despite the fact that it will help spike the pay-per-view's buy rate - it can invariably only hurt the careers of both men.

Rourke is just getting his respect back in Hollywood and doesn't particularly need to be involving himself with such an event (I guess the OSCAR vote is in, so it won't hurt him there, but still...). Jericho will inevitably "lose" any such encounter (celebs always come out on top at Wrestlemania - with the notable exception of Pete Rose) - which will just make him look weak in the eyes of wrestling fans.
