Mickey Rourke was originally set to face off against Chris Jericho back at WrestleMania 25. The two men even set up a match with a back and forth in the press that saw the Hollywood star lay down the challenge to Jericho.
Despite the challenge already being put out there, Rourke was pulled from the match because his people were not happy with the idea. This later led to Chris Jericho and Rourke appearing on Larry King Live where Jericho went on a rant about the actor whilst obviously in character.

Rourke obviously didn't understand that it was all in character and turned up at a WWE arena with three bodyguards looking to send Jericho a message. The former World Champion then explained that it was all part of the show and was able to calmly diffuse the situation.
Whilst the two men were unable to work a match as part of WWE's biggest show of the year, they were able to create an angle where Rourke knocked Jericho out.
