Mickey Rourke bows out of WrestleMania! Smart move
At the SAG Awards on Sunday, the Academy Award nominee (he played Randy "the Ram" Robinson in "The Wrestler") made a big to-do to reporters about how he was planning to be in the upcoming wrestling event. 
But now the match, set for April 5 in Houston, will not happen, according to E!
Why? Well, it sounds to me as if someone talked some sense into Mr. Rourke.
"Mickey was very honored to be asked, as he has the greatest respect for WWE. However, he will not be participating in WrestleMania," says the actor's official rep, Paula Woods, in a released statement. "He is focusing entirely on his acting career."
Let's reinforce that: FOCUS ON YOUR ACTING CAREER!
You need to save your strength, Mickey. You already have the biggest match of your life coming up.
For your career's sake, you need to KO your Oscar opponent, Sean Penn.
C'mon, take him down!

THERE IS A GREAT CHANCE ROURKE WILL BE AT WM 25 IN TEXAS.
AND HE WILL LOSE THE OSCAR TO PENN , HE ALREADY KNOWS THAT.
Will the event in Houston be on Pay-per-View? I think there is a good chance Mickey will be there, maybe a front row seat and who knows what might happen?

I watched the Golden Globes just to see Mickey. Seeing him and The Boss together with awards was the best.. I'm not sure I'll watch the Oscars. Original Song has only three nominations, two from Slum Dog Millionaire and The Wrestler was not included. I don't think that's right.
