Mickey Rourke smacks down Jericho at Wrestlemania 25

In the ‘how to ruin my credibility’ department:

Tonight at the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania 72,744 fans packed Reliant Stadium to see celebrities, rock stars, thundering pyrotechnics and, of course, the culmination of a year’s worth of storylines. The event is part Super Bowl and part season finale, with satisfying resolutions and new cliffhangers occurring over the course of four and a half hours. Last year’s event grossed 23.8 million dollars in pay-per-view revenue, bringing 50 million more dollars in revenue to the home city. While this year’s spectacular was uneven in quality, Mickey Rourke got into the spirit of the event by stepping into the ring to take his medicine from Chris Jericho; “Stone Cold” Steve Austin made the special appearance his hometown fans came to see; and the most anticipated match of the evening exceeded expectations to become an instant classic that kept fans around the world afraid to leave their seat during a seemingly endless standoff. – From TV Buddy
