Mickey Rourke Comes Correct

Just because he's an Oscar-nominated actor doesn't mean Mickey Rourke is afraid of a good fight. True, the tussle was staged, but the Mickster's battle with WWE grappler Chris Jericho stirred up the Search box and sent the Buzz into a tizzy.

For those of you who don't follow the never ending soap opera that is professional wrestling, here's a brief recap: Several months ago, Mr. Rourke, who played pro wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in "The Wrestler," challenged Jericho to a match. Jericho accepted and then, seemingly, Rourke had second thoughts. Apparently, that was a ruse. Last night, Mr. Rourke got into the ring with Jericho, but instead of wrestling his singlet-clad rival, he boxed.
Here's how it went down. Jericho had just beaten old time legends Jimmy Snuka, Rickey "The Dragon" Steamboat, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, when Mickey, who was sitting ringside, answered Jericho's challenge and climbed into the ring. The Mick calmly removed his cowboy hat and "knocked out" the pro grappler with a left hook, much to the crowd's delight.
Jericho was the winner over Piper and company, but all anybody seems to care about was that Rourke dropped Jericho like a bad agent. Queries on "mickey rourke wrestlemania" and "mickey rourke chris jericho" both posted huge gains. The battle also inspired plenty of articles and blogs. NJ.com offers a nice recap of the event and Yahoo's omg gives a 4 star play-by-play of the battle.
Now that Rourke has taken Jericho down a notch in the ring, perhaps Jericho will challenge Rourke on "The Actor's Studio." Winner gets to body slam James Lipton.
