Mickey Rourke's comeback performance as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, directed by Darren Aronofsky, The Wrestler depicts the ugly side of the wrestling business. As much as Fighting with my Family was a great depiction of the business, this more gritty and realistic take is devoid of optimism.

The film was nominated for two Oscars, including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress by Mickey Rourke and Marissa Tomei respectively. The film also cast Ernest 'The Cat' Miller as The Ayatollah, an old foe of Randy The Ram. A wrestling promoter offers Randy a rematch with The Ayatollah, but Randy retires due to his declining health.

The film sees him struggle as he tries to reconnect with his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). The film also contains appearances by R-Truth, Jim Powers, Robbie E and Cesaro. It's been reported that Vince McMahon hated the film, but that didn't stop him from offering Rourke to appear at WrestleMania 25.

This was the same one where Rourke infamously punched out Chris Jericho during Jericho's feud with WWE Legends.
