Mickey Rourke Chris Jericho on Larry King Live (Video)

January 29th, 2009 by Wendy

Is this for real? Watch this video clip of Mickey Rourke and wrestler Chris Jericho from Larry King Live the other night. Is Chris Jericho really that big of a douche?

In the video clip, Chris Jericho says of Mickey Rourke:

“I think he did make a mistake on the red carpet at the SAG Awards when he mentioned Wrestlemania and he called me out, because if he got his wish and had a confirmation with me at Wrestlemania, I think the ending of the Jericho/Rourke movie would not turn out very well for Mr. Rourke, as it did in The Wrestler.”

Mickey Rourke, who is up for an Academy Award for his role in The Wrestler commented:

“It’s not my world. I was a professional fighter. Would I box him in a boxing ring or a bare knuckle match? Yes. Wrestling, that’s his role. That’s what this man does.”

And Chris Jericho added:

“I’ll be waiting, Mr. Rourke….I’ll be waiting.”

Seriously? This can’t be real.

I think Mickey deserved it. When you talk smack about someone it can come back to haunt you just like this did. On the red carpet at the SAG awards Mickey Rourke claimed that he had signed a contract to wrestle Jerico and that he would “toss him around the ring like a salad.” Jerico is a tough dude and an aging actor shouldn’t be making challenges to a young ass kicker, that’s all I have to say. Rourke thinks he’s some kind of tough guy still, but he needs to think before he let’s his mouth get out of line…

Chris Jericho made himself look like a fool. Mickey Rourke made a challenge to Jericho because thats what wrestlers do and did not do so seriously. Meanwhile Chris Jericho, who is a fake wrestler, pretended to be offended and really made me feel bad for Mickey Rourke. Jericho clearly has no soul.

I feel that this one was Mr. Rourke’s mistake. He needs to realize that what he does on film is a completely different thing than what happens in the ring. Moral of the story: Don’t talk smack to a pro wrestler.
