Jim Ross Says Mickey Rourke Should “Stay Out of The Ring”

January 30, 2009

Jim Ross has posted a blog on WWE.com addressing Mickey Rourke’s possible match against Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 25. Ross writes, "Rourke is not a spring chicken and reminds me a great deal of my friend Ric Flair, specifically, as he reportedly loves the night life and he should stick with those aspects of his life that he is truly blessed, acting and partying, and not step in the ring with Chris Jericho. If that were to happen it would make the ending of ‘The Wrestler’ feel warm and fuzzy which it isn’t. Don‘t do it Mickey. Do come to Houston; enjoy a great presentation at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, have fun, but stay out of the ring. Or do what in the hell you want."

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
