So that title might be a tad misleading since the clip is all of a minute long and features Mickey Rourke just bouncing around for most of the 60 seconds with one swing at the end, but it does make for goofy fun entertainment.
It had been rumoured that perhaps Rourke would make an appearance in the ring, something which was later changed to have him as a guest announcer or something of the sort but it was pretty clear even to me, only a mild wrestling fan, that Rourke would somehow make an entrance into the ring to duke it out with *someone* and lo-and-behold, it happened.
During the event, which took place yesterday, Rourke did manage to climb into the ring to take on Chris Jericho and with one wobbly punch, tore down the snot nosed wrestler. No word on whether head honcho Vince McMahon will extend a reprise appearance invitation to Rourke but for sheer marketing/cross promoting genius, this is stellar marketing; not to mention a whole lot of fun to watch. Enjoy the smackdown.
